LOVE AND DUST
'Nothing lasts, ' you said, gently tying
The laces of your fashionable jogging shoes,
...
How can I forget the color of that pink shirt,
And the smile of a translucent face,
In the young darkness of evening.
That fifteen minutes touch,
...
“WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA” (the world) , [i]
Socialist, Secular and Democratic, who believe in
Justice, Liberty, Equality and Fraternity,
Are now standing on a great wall of Intolerance,
...
ACID AND FLASH
Now hours have been passed,
Or may be years ago,
...
SHADOW
All those legends of your liveliness and courage
Entered my bones like ants,
Forming an ant hill,
...
Father:
For me you are the star of my life,
The jewel on my turban, the kohinoor.
For what purpose did I send you, O daughter?
...
The Refugee's Roots
If you ask me
How many houses I have changed till now,
...
. The Third Desire- City of Peace
Two hours ago, when I my brain was fevered,
...
An Indian Dream
When everything is going to end,
I will not collect the remains,
...
Love And Dust
LOVE AND DUST
'Nothing lasts, ' you said, gently tying
The laces of your fashionable jogging shoes,
With a glitter in your eyes,
That put our love in the morgue,
As if love is a race just to win a medal.
My mouth filled with the dust of your words,
Like a modern prep student I nodded.
The April sky laughed,
The blossoming flowers' fragrance screamed
In the most beautiful municipal park of the city.
Come take a rest,
My bed arms welcomed.
The puzzled street lamp covered with
The chase of a moth's love,
Laughed at the post-modern notions of love.
Your words are true, perhaps,
About the finiteness of things.
Even of love, as you said,
Eternal is just an ancient word.
But my heart shouted, you know,
One thing is there that still last forever.
So I turned myself into dust,
To make my love everlasting.
