Broken thoughts on life...
Mortal Observations
1
Ah, at last bliss !
Uncertain silence floats in air
darkness descends, burden is bygone.
Rustling footsteps fail to disturb
a pair of hopeless greedy ears.
2
Death invites you or you invite death ?
Doctors sigh, astrologers cheat, philosophers fumble
dragged curtains on window do not nod
glory of sweet gentle breath on lifeless face.
3
Nothing will change !
The balance-sheet is wiped clean.
I have not left anything that should
make you preserve my bones in heart of hearts.
4
I hated my children
loved them too much ...
It was pleasure laying them in grave --
soft kiss on forehead
and then, door of perpetual prison shut.
They will live happily for ever and ever
close to bosom of mother earth.
5
We died yesterday, our bodies infested with moths
we have died today, Thor's hammer brought thunder-storm
we shall die tomorrow because our blind ally leads nowhere.
This poetry is not concerned with life and death --
it is entrusted to we, you and I, who never bothered about all these !
