Finally, I returned to my native land
And the dinner was all set,
Sweet aroma filled the kitchen.
"Thank God for my mother's skill, " I prayed.
...
With heavy heart, I open the cage
And give you wings to fly.
Soar high, my dear, be gone.
My land is barren
...
Loneliness, I find no reason to laugh,
Absolutely not a reason to distract the pain.
The moment I assumed I get a reason to smile,
Life twisted the story, bringing back the wounds.
...
Then how it would be like a party defector
Or a corrupt public servant or a gambler
To hoard and led an easy luxurious life
Like the rivers of plenty: the Tigris,
...
Diseases! Deadly diseases liberates mind.
Diseases lend breathe to lifeless soul.
Some pray, heal me to work for weak,
Others shed tears to reform their ways.
...
I kept
Wondering
How much you've change over the months.
I kept waiting for you but
...
Mother, you are the spring of
LIFE, JOY and HOPE.
When darkness overshadows me,
you give me the sign of LIFE
...
'Who are you? ' I asked the man
Standing right before me.
By a mere insincere glance,
Anyone can sense a miser was he.
...
The afternoon was pleasantly calm and music
So gentle until…..
The Death strummed fierce and ruthless
With mournfully unsympathetic beat.
...
This morning I visited Kohima Orphanage
And Destitute Home.
Talking about founder Ama and children,
I saw loving tears in new Ama's eyes.
