The River Of Our Relationship

 

The river of our relationship

Does not get restrained by any bridge

It is surrounded by freedom and jubilance

While clusters of cloud shroud one end to the other.

 

Our river faces life and death everyday

With its exuberance of splashing water

It cries with passion of joy and sorrow

Let not God hear such an outcry.

 

Only God can build a dreadful bridge

Over the river of our relationship

Which would be the cause for the deadly nuclear weapon

To cross ruins and destruction.

 

Before God would realize and before the sunrise

The two of us would take a dive underneath the river of

relationship

By witnessing the novel ways of our protest

Even the wise divers would get jealous and stay away.

 

Living in the river we made friendship with the golden fish

And surviving even being challenged by dangerous sharks

At a distance, sentries of life and death having mysterious

looks

Keep constant watch against building a bridge

While the river of our endless relationship flows in the

middle.

 

A Poet’'s Dream

 

I began to have sweet dreams again

Wishing stars rekindled my soul

Years of grief seemed to have vanished

My silent tears also stopped.

 

I dream of a life painted with azure tint

With rivers and green shrubberies

An ancient canoe and flock of seagulls

And my soul-mate who would adore poetry

Restless leaves swaying in sweet breeze

Birds dancing in the palm my hand, fearless

Glitters shining in the scarf of the cloud

Dazzling stars showering blessings.

 

Starlit innocence everywhere

Walkway would be reddish velvet

Horizon dazzling with rejoicing peacocks

And my dream lasting for eternity.

 

My renewed life would be heavenly

Seeming real yet dreamy

Actuality yet imaginative

Come everyone, share my dream.
