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 !!!

SOLITAIRE-1

The lone poet walks  Along that dusty avenue Lined with leafless trees And cold stones of a lonesome hue. Towards his deserted home He walks on and on On cold winter dusks- The hours of a weak dying sun. O' passers by! Stop And behold his lonesome gait, Maybe the lone remnants of His cruel raging fate. With the death of that weak Sun His lonesome day ends. Beneath those soils, warm, A peaceful night he spends. Nights pass o'er his grave A handful of solace they bring, Unkempt mementos; dark And lost remains of a shrewd spring...

Sonnet on Love

Do I love you like you were summer rose  and I was the thorn or even the breeze  Do we pair up like shoes, or like pebbles and the sand  Do we even know of reason, treason and love ?  I love you like the spring loves the stones  Bouncing flowing on to join the ocean  I love you like I needed no reason, but  The charm of doing things that are not supposed to be done  I did not take form in your dreams, i'm shapeless  Like vapour, like a fragrance fading slow  Because fading is how I exist in you  Without a reason, a treason but pure love  Because when I will have to close my eyes  I will remain as absurd as I always was
