SONNET 24

Those sleepy shy dusks when perch on the cloudy sky
And hue of setting Sun reddens those clouds in west
The nomad tired bird then returns to his nest
Bringing silent tear drops to your eyes, once gone dry
And thunders make you guess that the heavens're set to cry.
The dreams that you had lost then seem like broken glass
As those rainy winds sweep by o'er the swaying grass
Like an insane wish to weep... An insane wish to die.


Dusky rains embrace soft earth steaming with each splash
Wet soil's fragrance fills the sky with wind's sedate pace
The coolness sooths your heart, yet warm tears wash your face
And lost in lurid dreams your latent longings lash


As slowly fragrance fades, those lonely midnights mourn
You reminisce, sob and seek monsoon's short sojourn...

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 !!!
