A Haiku-lean Task

Castle on the cliff – 1625,
Brick for brick replaced – 1825,
Castle true or crumbled anew?
Life - A lesson on lease,
Chinese whispers of wisdom,
Echoes in an empty room.
Love – what is it?
A transaction of souls – yours and mine,
against one another’s spine.
Dependence – what’s your price?
She’s not for sale –the cross on her sail,
Ponzi schemes everywhere.
Architecture of an attitude,
Earthly connection, minerals mine.
A statue of dignity.
Goldilocks – here’s your bed.
Buddha – here’s your middle path.
Frost – are you lost?
Don’t give up your Kavacha – Karna,
It is for your only sheild.
Don’t yield, don’t yield!
Soul – a sapling,
Of strength, of solace, of serenity,
Water with Time.
The freshwater flows swiftly,
it corrodes and carves -
The graph of grand canyon.
Time does not move,
We push it - ahead of us,
Where have the days gone by?
