But my name

It was heavy and I saw someone lifting it up
Slowly carving it out of the stone
Sculpting my name on it
I sat there , not ready to believe
As the dusk broke into the silence of dark night
I hoped it would rain
And may be  I'll fade away
But my name
I hated the eerieness but only I was the listener
Of leaves that bustled under the moon
Burying the groans I could feel
After a long time I was not afraid
Of wandering into the bushes ,
disappearing into the darkness
Or of another human
But not to return home
Winds blew and whistled
I imitated it
Like the last joke I would share
I couldn't make myself to laugh
All the pain I imagined was real
and slowly like small steps
As darkness started to fade into white lines of dawn
My pain withered in that rhythm
It finally rained washing away my last memory
Of leaning my back on my tombstone
And before the clouds broke into the sunrise
I was gone ...

That land

Oh! let them flourish
Mercy ! my fellow beings
Those sharp tools ,
Keep away from me

Shine of every daylight ,
Let it rain on me
Help !
Do not chain me

Let them flourish
My little wings
As they sing to me
Ruffling in the wind
Songs of the land
Where I ought to be ..

Human

O human! O human!
I once praised you
Our ancestors sang
Us to sleep
your legends and deeds.

O human! O human!
You were my superhero
But I am grown up now
And I now believe
you do not exist .

O human! O human!
Did you get lost ?
Somewhere in sand dunes
Or merry go round .
Or escaped to another land?

O human! O human!
I see rage and mutiny
all around .
Trees are dead and
Now they are killing
Their own kind .

O human! O human!
Is it the end
Or will you come back ?

Lullaby

I dream in dreams
And breathe in them
Like air never got lost
I hold them within
Water shines bright blue
Under the light of Moon
Like a rubber boat
I float in them
I count fireflies
As you sing to me
The lullaby of stars
I breathe and go back to sleep

I dream in dreams
To wake up, in the lullaby you sing
Under the shadow of the dandelion
Over the velvet of green , a cliff or a hill
Gush of wind lifts us up
Slowly we build up our air balloon
Your Lullaby takes us to stars afar
To watch them build and fall apart
The words you sing
I put them on string
And together we weave
an another dream ....

Collision

She scrutinized the words she wrote
Deciphering the little notes
Of the clouds that didn't say much
Until today

"Through whispers of clouds
It's a say
When heavens collide it rains "

A heavy gush of wind walked across
When a familiar voice struck her ears

Breaking through the smoke of wonders
A rain drop landed on her eye's corner

There she was breathing every word
As it dissolved slowly in murmurs of the rain drops
Watching him come closer
struggling with an umbrella under heaven's  collision...

October

Those leaves have started
To part the beloved hands
With gentle blows of the wind
To lay on the  ground
And soak under
The gentleness of the sun

The benevolent souls
Will cherish the soft chirps
beneath their feet
As they run into the arms
Of the love coming home

And how I wish to stay
Amidst the air of autumn
Sleeping as it chants in my ear
The lullabies I had forgotten
Oh ! October has finally come ..

Hunter

I know my eyes wouldn't sleep
Like the knights on night's keep
To be vigilant for the hush in trees
As we play hide and seek

Sometimes a little Nightingale do sing
As I sneak  into the woods
About the lost love she weep
Watching my knife bleed

I hear some noises closer to mine
An afraid deer or a hunter's sigh ?
But the nights keep crawling
And I walk to hunt down
Before it's too late
Too late to walk back home..
