POEM OF THE DAY
I Loved You

I loved you, and I probably still do,
And for a while the feeling may remain...
But let my love no longer trouble you,
I do not wish to cause you any pain.
I loved you; and the hopelessness I knew,
The jealousy, the shyness - though in vain -
Made up a love so tender and so true
As may God grant you to be loved again.


Translated by Genia Gurarie, 11/10/95

POEM OF THE DAY - MODERN POEM
I Meditate ...

I meditate- If ever there's a third world war
What'll happen to new morn's offspring ?
I meditate- If Earth sprouts out blood
What'll happen of the mirth of innocent ploughs ?
Happy-boughs, fragrant gardens
Nonchalant running of rivers and
Bubbling of brooks,
Cheerful children,fearless youth
Bashful moon faced maids !
Will stillness spread its shroud ?

A Soul In Pain

In the mirror, a fractured soul stares back
In shards of silvered glass, my reflections crack
All the pains and scars are left to bare
Exposed to the world, yet hidden from care
And then I feared to be broken
For in the fragments of me, I'd lose my name
And I would be called nothing
A whispered echo, fading into silence
Till my breath is not heard
And in the stillness, my soul is undone

...

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Cease the war and, ease your mind with righteousness than evil.

POEM OF THE DAY
I Would Live In Your Love

I would live in your love as the sea-grasses live in the sea,
Borne up by each wave as it passes, drawn down by each wave that recedes;
I would empty my soul of the dreams that have gathered in me,
I would beat with your heart as it beats, I would follow your soul
as it leads.

POEM OF THE DAY - MODERN POEM
Born Today

for Jane

is to be one to the one
closest to you
who shares the air
& other elements
right there next to you

two bodies wrapped in darkness
among millions of other bodies

A Little Longer

At the end of my day
I remember my old days
I want to relive the childhood plays
Stay a little longer i said.
When the day is over
Can't the time freeze forever
The sun asked why
Shine a little longer i said.
It was a dark night
I was scared, too scared to fight

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Beatrice. I am stuffed, cousin, I cannot smell. Margaret. A maid, and stuffed! There's goodly catching of cold.

POEM OF THE DAY
Poem Fever

I feel sick-the feeling one feels when he has a fever
The same anxiety, ill-mood, and very sober
I feel numb-as the fever triggers inch by inch
Making me worried, I need a pinch
I panic-afraid not to find the right words
Like a nice song played in the wrong chords
Ah..Poem Fever here you are again
Even in my sleep you keep haunting.

So I closed my eyes, the words fall like rain
I pick each line that reaches my brain
Put each mood, emotion and feelings
And every little joy and pain my heart sings
Every verse flows from my heart to my pen
Like a river flowing until now since then
Ah..Poem Fever here you are again
In my dream every night you keep coming.

Like a young girl's cheeks kissed by the wind
I am beaming
Like a bud in the morning kissed by the dew
I am skipping
Like a delicate skin kissed by the sun
I am smiling
Ah..Poem Fever here you are again
Even when I'm at rest, you're insisting.

Like the flowers and bees who are inseparable
We can't separate
Like ice cream and cake you're irresistible

...

POEM OF THE DAY - MODERN POEM
A Ghazal - He And We

wind water earth sky - all things remain the same
for our Lord in heaven above we are but a game

He tests us at every step if we fail
not He but we're ourselves to blame

all day the devotees throng His shrine
chanting His name spreading His fame

desires they've sown for ages in their hearts

I Want It Back

You took it
I want it back.

I offered a kiss
I didn't offer that.

I was fourteen and you were twenty-one - you should have known better…

I was not ready to be lying on my back
Legs forced open and that was that.
...
