Inside of Me
As the morning zephyr gently scratches my soul Tilling my thoughts, aerating the old, Imbue, instill, manure of hope, I sprout and rise, in dark I grope Following the wind, fragrant unseen, Pursuing the ONE, who asked, “Can you hear me?” I strain my neck, on tip toes I stand Grapple in crowd to get…

CAN YOU HEAR ME SHRIEK?
From the womb of the barren earth In the rumble of the cataclysmic quakes That flattens the skyscrapers and shanties alike I wail in vain, proof of my chastity For i am Sita Can you hear me? From the stony silence of the mountains In the devastating deluge of an avalanche That wipes away all…

Can you hear me, brother mine?
From sharing a womb, to personal histories. From being each other’s relentless tormentors to best of buddies. Shared a lot over the years, yet you hid your pain from me. So much I have left to say to you; Are you listening? Can you hear me? Almost half a lifetime we somehow floundered through. Yet…

Can You Hear Me
Can you hear me? O You The only truth To seek you, myriad paths took Barefoot blistered, Ascended gelid peaks Walked through embers bed too Lit candles votive flickered when Protecting palms burnt. To fix my greys offered petals hued. . From dizzying labyrinth, whimpered endlessly Confided in you when stranded deep In the swamp…
