Sajid Merchant Poems

A mirror shows a feigned facade at best,
the truth is hidden from the rest,

Only if there could be a mirror,
...

The land of rising sun,
Down in a dark gloom,
Ravaged people savaged life,
Trembling earth, shattered dreams
...

I close my eyes and see the green
silence reigns and freedom deigns
dancing trees and singing wind
closer to thee, farther from me
...

I a walked into the wilderness hoping to meet a stranger, I never knew.
Ask questions with muted lips. seek answers without words.
I have met every person i could, the only stranger i haven't met is me.
I have been close to all far from me, known to all stranger to me.
...

Every time the man prostrates
The satan wails for the fear of losing hails
his men aplenty, freeing from the thrall
causing him to further fall.
...

They stood quiet in queue,
all saintly and wealthy,
civilized that they were
to settle their till,
...

No family or friends,
no one to carry my name,
I hope it happens soon,
the end of karma should come,
...

Sitting by the river bank,
listening to swishing water,
watching the sun go down,
enjoying the fragrance of flowers,
...

O lord what can I offer thee,
save my feeble prayer,
thou art magnanimous
my basket small.
...

Your ship has turned adrift,
you have no compass, nor a helmsman
you see no star that guides
you know not shore that lights
...
