My Poems

Do you want me to write poems
No
I will not
I will write for you
And for my self
I do not want to write poems
Or prose
I want to narrate things
As I see them
As I feel them
When my heart bursts into tears
When my heart sings with happiness
And when I have nothing to think
Don’t call these as poems
These are narrations
And words
They do not devour books
Or forms
Or a linguistic beauty
I do not want a Pulitzer
Or anything else
If you say
That I have written for you
And if it brings smiles to you
And if you think that the natures misfortunes
Are ours together
And if you accept
My apologies
For all the sufferings you have had
On behalf of nature
And if my songs
Bring that redness on your cheeks
And the shine in your eyes
And speak of your hopes
And those red lips
Talk of red wine cups
And your mouth turning from a fresh flower
To a bud with that wonderful glow on your face
And if those tears from your eyes mixes with mine
Then I will think
That I have said something
Or written something
But alas
I am only busy in child’s play

most tormenting for a child is to grow in an adult's world...
