    So meaningful only in 3 lines, with least words. I couldn't think, mesmerize with this angle too.

    2 see tons of steel concrete being razed down is indeed mesmerizing albeit a gruesome one, hw can God ask sumone to seek revenge on his behalf...Al-Qaeda is indeed an institution of madmen.....
    As far as d Haiku is concerned wat can i say..three powerful lines.. :)

    Jihaad? Killing in the name of God?

    I think most of us here would call it a cowardly act of murder. The word I would use to describe how I felt as those towers came down, bringing our way of life down with them, is stunned. I was stunned with horror.

Behold..!!

The wind was blowing strong, The waves were crashing high, The sun was scorching hot, Making the soft sand burning wild.
The situations were adverse, Yet the water was calming and cold, The sand was still soft, And the walk on the beach was enough to behold.

Shades..!!

It started drizzling suddenly...


I was standing out on my terrace and saw these strangely beautiful shades, as if they're trying to tell some story.


There was a strange, unsettling sound of traffic from the road next to the house. Bikers speeding up to reach their destination and avoid getting drenched after days’ work. Yet amidst these noises of bikes and four-wheelers, rain still slowly managed to over shadow every noise that could reach any ear...then there was a sudden sense of peace which you'll feel if you continue to stand out there and try to experience it...

Death's Desire...!!!

The first time I saw her,
    I felt attracted.
Somethings were off about her,
    But from her, only perfection got refracted.

She was lying down on a beach,

The sky was lit in a white-chocolaty shade,
    Romantic you may say, but my desire to get her was like a sharpened blade.

Few patches of dark clouds here and there,
    Every passing by hour of sky had showed it's own glare.
Waxy yellows, cloud spat blues,
    My attention got stuck on her like with a glue.

Her body,
    I must say it was perfectly gaudy.
Erupted inside me, a desire to get her;
    To touch her and lay my hands upon her.

I wanted to carry her in my arms,
    Embrace her with a body so warm.
I promised myself, when her time will come, she won't feel a thing,
    I'll take her as she is my girl; on her 3rd finger will be my ring.

But I couldn't resist, as she lay against the sea,
    Her time was up, when I took her soul mid-way during tea.
Suddenly she lost the charm,
    Her …
