OUR BROKENNESS
We broke
ourselves,
Ourselves
completely broken,
How will it heal,
Conceal or
reconcile into its union,
Its union has
shattered into parts,
Parts broken into
pieces,
Pieces into pieces
leaving without any peace.
We love each other
But love broken
into remorse,
The joy of love
gone away,
And storms of
sorrow we pass by every day,
Everyday a day to
live without the other,
A sense of loss, a
loss of feelings,
Feelings made life
miserable.
At last, love no
more left,
Left only with a
broken heart,
A broken heart
with its brokenness,
No hope to cope up
with its brokenness,
But broken, only
love could heal its brokenness.
LOVE A FLYING BIRD
Feeling love,
flying in air,
Flying within and
out with wings,
A bird in the
heart,
Keeps pestering
for the one,
The one for which
the heart
Has become prey,
It prays for the
other one,
Other one has
bypassed the passage of heart.
Heart, left in the
heartless state,
State of heart
can’t be depicted by art.
Art falls short,
Heart stronger
than art,
Emotions it feels,
And leaves the
heart in the state of suffering.
The bird’s
consciousness,
Makes the mind
mindless,
Mindlessness can’t
tackle,
And the flying
bird finds no rest,
Its rest is
destruction and dissolution,
For which there is
no solution.
A POEM IN THE MAKING
The beauty of poem
lies in expression,
Expression of
thought into words,
Words form idea in
the poem,
Idea structured
into lines,
Lines link the
idea,
Idea moves as
images
Images form
picture of idea.
Symbols are words,
Words deeper in
meanings,
Meanings multiple
in interpretation,
A text produced in
a context,
Context reproduces
text,
Text makes
meanings,
Meanings producing
instruments.
A poem forms life
in its source,
There is no life
in its source,
Source born of
art,
Art sources life
in a poem,
A poem, every poem
begins with a question,
It ends without an
answer
Its end questions
every question.
