Poems...



Thinking of YOU



It all started with

thinking of you

making me feeling good.

Now,

whenever I feel good

I think of you,


It is so beautiful

like the orange fireball

over the trees

in the western horizon,

but

it hurts.


Feeling good and

getting hurt

all these are

too strong for me,

dear


And, I don't know

if I am to be be happy

that

I met you,

Or be sad.


Whatever is the pain,

knowing you

make me feel full,

Full of sadness

and

full of happiness.



A Way Out



So Powerful

And

Massive


Is the hate

that crept

Into her heart


To rid of…?

Indeed,

there is a way


Blowing it

into pieces

Along with


the body

that hosted it

And, of those


Who

Unwittingly

Sowed it ​



Wings



Got to stretch those

Wings of mine

Nurtured and preened

In the absence of your mind


Love to take you

On the Spree of delight

Had you been

In my lessons of flight



Fear



Fear of death

Felt not

Saved by numbness


Yet driven by fear itself

The lonely boar

In his flawless youth

Entered my garden

Seeking a human


Alas,

What's that Slim line?

Smeared red

Blood red

Necklace?

Oh...

GOD's fine work


Nej.

His Agent's

His soul

Blessed to see

Wealth in kilos


To feed upon the

Seekers of food

Roaming the

Moonless night


On Nimble Feet

In Fear of

The loved sons

Of the Protector Himself​



I insist on a world with justice and equality for all human and for all animals, big and small, and for all trees and for all that is wild ...
