Month: April 2007

did i hang your photo on a broken wall
which was cracked by the load
of memories
that you had difficulty in bearing with
all this while
let me take it off and place
it in a trunk
which i will immerse in a river
on a full moon night so that when it sinks,
the waves will lift it up
and let it float for as long as
the time stays still

have you seen the glaciers melting

after the storms of silence have wiped clean

the face of mountains

that stood witness to the torment

that you had to face

for no fault of yours

i could not embalm the body that was bruised

but then rest you must get

peace too

even if it means

you have to do

all that you donot like

like tearing the pages from diary

in which you worte the verses

of a joy abandon

the storms will pass but not

the moments in streams

that flow down the slopes

having no regard for the  beams

on which rested the vila

you lived along with birds

nests  are not torn

but the tears of memories wronged

torment you no less

why not take leave

of the lazy lakes

that will remain still

even when the storms

pass
