The Child Man

He was like fire waiting for ice
He was like desert waiting for snow
He was like concrete wall waiting for a rose to grow

He was like a sea bed waiting for the light
He was like a boat waiting for someone to row
He was like a driftwood waiting for some hand to know

He was like the stopped watch, waiting for some time to flow
He is a child but manned quite some time ago.

He is ...

He is warm and moist,
     like a dense forest to explore

He is soft and brittle,
     like flower patches & dried leaves on the forest floor

He is smooth and coarse,
     like the dew sliding into the sun tanned pores

He has known me for a while, 
     but he wants to know more...

sochte hai tujhse kya kahe

Sochte hai tujhse kya kahe
hume pyaar hai yeh kaise kahe
uljha hai man kai sawalo me
suljhane ki koshish hai
par bayan kise kare?
kashmakash me hai
dosto se dillagi yeh kaise are
Zuban khamosh, aankhon se hami kaise bhare
tumhari chahat pe aitbaar kaise kare
hume pyaar hai, kaise kahe?

New Reasons

New Reasons
for a morning start
a new book and the apple tart

New Love of the whites
perched on my apple orchard

/New Sheets for the new season
new year begins for all new reasons.

Silent Prayers

Silent tears, Screaming fears
Moist eyes & sleepless nights.

Haunting squeaks
and bloody sheets.

Sinking Sobs, watching a ruthless mob,
Heading towards a smiling kid.

A call out loud to the mother
To save the wandering daughter

The mob steps back
cursing her silent prayers.

Just Like Another Night

She twists and she turns
Swirls around with the green leafs,
Falling on her dancing frame.
With each beat and thump her feet responds,
Her body, the long wavy hair moves and moves
along her shaky head and gyrating music.

The smoke burns her out,
The alcohol drinks her in
She sees her onlookers with drunken eyes
Watching her with lust filled in and vice.

The gaze rips her glittering and shiny dress
To see her skin just like another night,
Once again the viewer calls her in, to have a closer look in.
To satisfy and please him, the green leafs negotiated her ruins.

Once more she survives the night!
She is her best for the day
She is modest & shy
Professional & Coy
All the wisdom she has is for her children who are unaware

The day falls, she sings lullaby
She puts on the powder on her lovely skin
Smudges the kohl in her eye

Red on her lips,
Matches the nakedness she wears
She struts the street to reach a brick wall
Awaiting the nights call.

Audelade


The glory of the golden strand,
Crafted to guard the treasures
Held by the human hand.

Pure and precious possession
Woven to adorn the human feet

Woven to enfold the mysteries of vanity
Audela`de raptures the world, with crafting clarity.
