Baru Gobira Poems

Who enters your house must decree
He comes alone in peace
His search is you and you alone
Or he must live forever in shadow’s zone.
...

New winds breathe
Fresh air into a porous mind
Where time has stopped
To caress
...

[June 2010]

I have but moments
You have an eternity
...

Soft falls the rain on my soul
I feel not the water on my pores
Soaked, sliding like life
shadows in mime…waves behind glass
...

On a winters day
Walking through deepening mist
Naked earth wet grass kiss
Anklets tinkle like soft windchimes.
...

I saw the clouds form a blanket
Over earth & rust
Some trees smelt the air above
A gorge saw a waterfall
...

I think you see me naked
I’m afraid
To be left with only my thoughts
Virginity a luxury
...

Hurry, I must leave soon
For there is a shoulder on which I have cried
And I must go
With head held high
...

The Tip of a divine fulcrum
Knows not the weight on either side
But balance it
It must
...

The paint has not dried
The Master still paints
Much that I see is unfinished
Much that was has died
...
