In conversation this world as events unfold,
The views and opinion in its arrival and shades
Pour out they the story and its effect and lives
Now an entity of this world, please smile now
“Forget thy past”, they say, you belong to us
Out there in the distance, hidden and gone
In search for a familiar face and gestures
Not to [...]
Out in the open, the old Lugarno bridge
Witness it has, many battles and wars
The happenings of the past and present
As they gather amidst tulips and old trees
For an old picture, for an old bindings
Remains in there, the strange silence
Souls of the departed, as flowers bloom
Remains in there, the old hatred
Like paths in the jungle, the [...]
Promise me
One day
Let’s travel to Everest
Frozen inside
Our fears
To melt
Lives there
An old poet
Amidst chaos
And dissection,
In peace
As the dance begins
In rain,
As they stand,
To celebrate
The beginnings
Of life
Just happiness
Later to come
The old pain
In its trail,
Awaits,
The desert
Its voice
The caravans
Disappeared!
Come they all to see this land
Forgetful and distant, from its past
The long walks and adventure
In search for peace and comfort
Lend me your ears my friend
Let me recite words of freedom,
In ways different than yours,
From a distant land
As I write in its abate
Memoirs of mistakes!
One in combination of blue with straight hair
The other draws her picture in search,
For objects of life, around her and its sounds
The other in rainbow colours, with curly hair
As the animals come into existence- alive
With elaborations by hands and gestures
The rainbow colour, says through expressions
Close to their mountain, as both play
As eyes shifts its gaze [...]
Open up these balconies
Scratch away the dust
Gathered for years
In and out
From formation of time
And confrontations
Of humans and their lives
As I move around,
From one room to another
In gathered dust and shadows
In residence, the old objects
Of my mother and her belongings
Years of solace and view
Of the desert and possession
In a land, now only in dreams
As I move [...]
Of what we are and how we see this world
Our lives and its portion, spent in to reflect
This old desire from years of its isolation
The words and its effect roam in its might
We all have stories from our granted lives
Of grandeur and of squalor, like days and nights
Of fiction and of poems, of prose and [...]
Met a character from 1947
Only six at that time,
To recite his tale
Story of his sacrifice
Lost he all
His mother and objects of play
As they travelled
Through days of migration
To the river hydraotes
The river of many names
From Greek to Vedic times
Stands there he now,
In the land of pure
To look back
At the purpose and
Of sacrifices – him
And of his [...]
Faced with problems of commerce and trade,
In slogans we raise, our misery and fate
Great comfort we draw from rallies and protest
From voices we raise, from beatings we take
Remain there in place, the old hate in wait
From practitioners and proponents of their faith
Hold us in nearness as we move into this state
As change will come as [...]
As I scratch my head in pain and disbelief
With all the questions and of all this existence
What has befallen me and its mechanics?
As I see my world in disappearance
From faces to memories, all absorbed
By this quest, for peace and comfort
What shall I adapt fate or destiny
Or the wisdom from the books and experience
Will it hold [...]
