Love song from him...

He wrote a song about his love for me
It was moving enough for me to walk over and squeeze his hand
I told him his beautiful words would stay in my heart forever
and the tune in my head,
He sang the song in a soft low tone,
Of his unadulterated , pure and ever lasting love for me
somewhere during the midst of his crooning
I spotted the bruises on my torso
Ouch! the gift of his love,
my butchered body..

Scattered Truths

Phoney imposters
everywhere we turn
Houses
Streets
Hearts
Even the shadow of the truth
Looms large on the deserted walls
Causing dread in the minds of the once fearless
The search for adventure long gone
Crushed, defeated, humiliated , broken
is the spirit of our times
Drowning in the mindless vortex
of second handed practices
We are children of the doomed
crawling through some meaningless maze of life
What remains is the butchered , pieces of scattered truth
of an unforseen collision.

Knocking on heavens door....

All set to knock heavens door
But will it open?
Only if I know
I can knock with verve
Untill I do
I will suffer this pain
That eats my insides
Every waking hour and day
Is this sky within my reach?
Only if I know
I can spread my wings
Untill I know
You wont clip my feathers
I will stay in this cocoon and live forever
When I touch that soft place
I bulit in your heart
Can you still hear the melody
Or has it broken apart
Tell me now
I shall knock and wait forever
Oh what cruel joy this wait would bring
But untill I know
I shall simply suffer this pain
that eats my inside
every waking hour and day

More Haikus .......

Poverty

Days without wages
Sleepless
"my hunger"

---------------------------


Solitude

Uninhabitated desert
alone stood
the lonely tree

---------------------------

Is there Sea without waves?
Child without mom?
Smile without lips?
Body without soul?
Life without misery?
Heart without love?
There is no "I" without you
So tell me
Is there a "You" without me ?
