Samin Jan Kakar Poems

A brilliant explosive day ahead..
With unlimited possibilities..
Here i walk on the land full of mines..
Surrounded by breathing bombs..
...

if some one is praising you beyond your understanding…
if some one is chasing you beyond your existence..
if some one is loving you with a strange restlessness..
if some one is comforting you to the discomforting limits..
...

when the sun gives light..
is it functioning to emit light?
or is it the creator of that light?
when a flower gives fragrance..
...

in the stink of gun powder and blood…
my thoughts are fragrant and sweet..
in the darkness of ignorance and greed…
my dreams are colorful vivid and neat!
...

with a glittery sword of logic
and a shield of ethics,
i cover my body with the armor of science,
i march in the shoes of history,
...

your dark eyes, that shine and melt..
my cold heart..
my stone heart..
...

there is a secret..that glows in my heart with the lights that soothe the eyes..
there is a mystery.. that warm beings with the warmth of my magical touch..
there is peace.. that calms the violent floods with my momentarily gaze..
there is a meaning.. that knows all the worries, all the joys, as i rest
...

if you drink from the cup of love..
and you dont get intoxicated..
if you recognize yourself..
unabsorbed if you are not drunk..
...

the saddest moments are..
watching the sunset..
chased by a cold dark,
when the Sun leaves..
...

Standing staring at the Road Cross…
thinking, feeling, totally lost…
A decision worth a million cost!
a coin with two sides!
...
