FEATURED BOOK
POETRY
KITE
Flying colours
over the clouds
With multi - coloured
dreams
Passing the rivers, mountains
and fields
With melodies of
hummingbirds
Freely, coolly you
fly afar
Children waving
hands
With roars of
laughter
Jumping up
and up
Storm, the
storm
Hit ! you are
among the branches
Torn and
torn
Alas! you are
Blasted !
__________
CORONA AGAIN
The green-eyed monster with its weapon
Laughs at the "Weeping Earth"
"Weeping Earth" lives in isolation with locked feelings
Victims yelling in pain; neighbors door locked in fear
Hospitals in burden; streets in fear of "monster"
God, please have mercy on us
People yelling, crying overnight
Again, again it's on the platform.
__________
FADED LOVE
Glancing at stars
Weeping for the moon
Sipping a cup of coffee
With broken memories
Recalling the fairy tales
Chattered till the moon hid among the trees
The sandcastle; broken; washed with waves
Counting for warmth with un-melting love
Eyes in pain with rose thorns
Heart attack in fire
Mind in cellar as prisoners
Murmuring the past gone days
As a book that lost its pages
Faded ; Alas ! It's faded .
