When you are away
Loneliness fills the day
To the brim
Paints the night in colors grim
But… when you are back
the moments are all Kodak
It is carnival time
Your love makes life sublime

When you are away
Loneliness fills the day
To the brim
Paints the night in colors grim
But… when you are back
the moments are all Kodak
It is carnival time
Your love makes life sublime

Nice short sweet poem.
But, to be frank this Haiku stuff is beyond me.
I am an engineer, more comfortable with numbers, diagrams, drawings, forumulae and all that stuff.
I do read poems but have not dared to attempt writing any.

@G Vishwanath,
Thank you. Lots of engineers write poetry and stuff too. Maybe you should also try your hand at it.
This was wonderful to read…I especially loved your line “paints the night in colors grim”.
@Sweetest in the Gale,
Welcome to Shail’s Nest and than you
Kodak???
@vimmuuu,
Yep, Kodak
Absolutely delightful…yes, moments of carnival needs to be cherished.. well doen..
@Ramesh Sood,
Thank you
Yes, those moments are to be cherished, forever.
Carnival as brightness, I like that idea. Life coming into a full out carnival of happiness in color just by a person’s presence. Thanks for sharing.
@Stretching My Imagination,
Welcome to Shail’s Nest. Yes, some people bring so much of color and life with them it seems like a carnival is on when they are around.
Will not a small little interval
help staid old love’s revival?
as a winter’s day waits to be estival
so also love after a break is festival.
Loved ‘ loneliness fills the day. I like your poetry more than your prose and somehow some of them remind me of Elton John’s Blue Eyes as this did.
@Govind,
Thank you
Indeed it is a festival when your love returns after an absence 
Hi Shail,
It certainly is true. Everything seems less of a carnival when the loved one isn’t there…
@Shail Raghuvanshi,
Yes it does. And when the loved one is back, carnival time again
Loved the Kodak moments!! Always follow the black and white days
@Nanka,
Thank you

Loved it so completely.
@kirti,
