Dear father,
i was lifted in your presence, by your presence,
from the cradle which was my world,
that closed upon me with fancies,
...

I stand here,
Waiting for you;
The poison tree
Has grown within me,
...

In a bustling city life,
heavy downpour of torrential rain,
unleashing itself from the chains of thick, black clouds,
crashes tired, exasperated hopes,
...

'After a while,
after a while'
is all i say,
as i procrastinate touching
...

We just lie down,
the sand rolls
around our bodies,
we have no home,
...

I'm all alone,
listening to my own voice,
that speaks to the mountains,
fast asleep in their own world.
...

In His mighty sleep,
yet staying awake,
God waves his wand,
with stars that spring,
...

The white horse with,
its feathery mane,
eyes of black night,
gallops on the soft snow,
...

When pyramids crumble,
Sand, dust and soot,
used to build the geometry,
of Egypt, the jewel of wonders,
...

I will go back to my country,
where i am wanted,
respected, cherished, treasured,
i will go to sympathise,
...

The sunset carries his
orangish white cloak,
over the pale brown sand,
owing to a sudden,
...

As i look around me,
i see nothing but injustice,
war, sex, rape, crime, violence,
helplessness, busy people in their,
...

As i walk along the footpath,
i see my friend,
who casually imitates my body,
my structure, the blackness in,
...

While examining the curtains,
draping the tall, magestic walls,
i wonder, how many hands,
did the embroidery work,
...

Walking on the silent streets,
of a deserted town,
i feel the searing, hot,
iron rod, placed on,
...

Close your eyes,
allow the sleep to
ambush you, in
the middle of no
...

Lying down on the
white, fluffy, cotton bed,
made out of water,
i look at endless
...

We, human beings capable
of thinking, feeling, acting,
destroying, obliterating, deteriorating
and everything that goes
...

I am being cornered,
I lie on one of
Those hot edges of
Walls that burns my
...

The silent white, abstract clouds,
moving across the blood of blue,
ready to pour on the earth,
with its repercussions staying due.
...
