O Listen
A modestly
dressed fairy
Of dead hearts
Certes! An
antidote
I am left with
longing.
So come as a
raindrop,
Let me meet you,
Eyes will get
relief,
And let the
heart become a garden.
Let me think of
your thoughts
Your soul is a
pure elixir
I wish to dive
into it,
O Listen, my
inner peace.
I Am Still In Search
I fell into a
mare’s nest,
As soon as I
woke up,
A sneer in the
midst of loud voices,
I heard a nugget
of hatred.
Beyond the
coast,
I wish to dive
deep,
I am bound in
kinship though
Still, I wish, I
wish to travel long.
I am the bell of
peace though
I lost the
knocker in me.
What is my
error?
I am still in
search.
I Gathered Her In My Arms
I met a vagabond
of a distant land,
Tears in
sparkling eyes,
A life of
lamentation,
The irony was
palpable.
Torn clothes
shrouded in dust,
A faint voice
heard,
To me, a sudden
shock
Oh, hungry for a
weekend.
I gathered her
in my arms,
And I fed her in
the dining room,
To help the
needy people,
I am very happy
indeed.
