On Those Long Lost Souls Of Old Fairy Tales

...And monsoons dance again
On that mundane wasteland
With muddy splash of oxen hooves
And tawny foams on sand.

New grass on my grannie's grave
Mud clad her head stone.
Unkempt in my foggy head
Forlorn fable's doom.

Rainy dusks perch on thatch
Waking memories deep;
Fairies danced in starry sky,
Prince tales 'fore I sleep.

Of dragons, serpents, wizards' tales
And of knights-brave,
Rainbows fading colors now :
I wonder what I crave.

Fairies won't come chanting charms;
I 'wait this bard to sleep.
I wonder who I 'wait,
I don't know why I weep.

Lost souls of those tales, today,
Wake in the dread of dark.
Floating unseen inside me
Along this time's arc.

And they remain unsaid,
Obscured and unknown,
Glorying in earthly scents;
Seeking solace in sombre monsoons...

The Pantomimist

He never said a word where None would suffice. And really Words were luxuries, wrongfully Labeled as necessities Freedom who, freedom where Freedom when, he couldn't go Home, which home was it really !! He didn't say, he smiled sad This is your place, this is where You belong, they always said He never used words, he never Raised his voice, he only smiled sad Borders and limits and words Languages, cultures,  Nations Religions, loyalties and societies Freedom from whom ? Freedom when ? The home was long lost among Those borders drawn and the earth Divided, for whom ?? His earth, his love His birthright. He never said a word. Kisses were perversely preferable than wars He made love to the earth in a very profane way Across the borders of the living and the dead Though he got murdered, did the pantomimist die !!!
