TO EVE EVERYWHERE

FROM ADAM OF ALL TIMES

It took You,

God

More than

Just one rib

To form

Her structure

So tender

So fancy

To let

My impossible

Dream

Step out of

The realm of

Fantasy.

It took you

More than

Just one rib

To answer

The yearning

Of my heart,

Modeling

This living piece

Of fine art.

Yes,

You did take

Just one rib,

Altering my whole

Anatomy

Promising to put

Instead

Pleasure

In the place

Of loneliness,

Of agony.

You took

That one rib,

Filling

Its gloomy void

With

Strawberry-red

Flame of

Fire

That when I just

Woke up

I found no name

But called it

“Desire”.

Thanks be to you

God

For in my life

She waves

Wondering

Between

The reality and

Myth

But without her,

My so-called life

Would always have

The taste of

Death.

O God,

If you had not

Done

I would have

Taken out

My very heart

Out of the depth

Of my core,

Held it up, asking:

And this, Lord,

What is it for?

TO THE MOON

O moon,

With your bright face

You smile beauty

That ever woos

Ever whispers

Endless tales

Of overflowing love

Tell me,

How you have inspired

Myriads of poets

Throughout

The WORD’s history!

Tell me about

The poet who

First wrote

Your very existence

In His poem of creation!

YOU ARE LOVE– 2

You are love

And so often

In my distress,

You surprise me

With a tender breeze

That softly soothes

My complaining skin.

Oh, such a bliss!,

And I wish to ask you:

Was it your whisper

Or your kiss?

In Memory of Violence Victims Everywhere

TO THE BLOOD

O blood,

I wish you had

A sound

To crack the silence

Of conscience’s

Sleep profound

O blood,

I wish you had

No colour

Reminding me

Of a flower

Once given

By a victim

To his lover

O blood,

Others’ or mine,

Stay on earth

To draw clear

A long-awaited

Red line.

WHEN I LEAVE THIS WORLD

SHALL I LOOK BACK? - 3

When I leave this world

Shall I look back?

Shall I look back

Trying to

Find

How its Maker

Had made it

Wishing to

Bind

Unbound

Variety

Into Oneness

Behind

Where each

Opposite

Strives to

Touch,

Through

Some sort of

Love story,

Its opposite

kind?

Yes, I would see

There

The great

Family of creatures

Where

All join within

An Eternal Unity

Desired

By an uncreated

Mind.
