On Happiness
none Sep 2015
Positive thoughts lead to disappointment,
Negative thoughts lead to despair,
Thought is death to joy,
Happiness is stupidity.

Untimely Departure
none Dec 2014
“Why must I go to school
Oh Mother!
Why can I not sleep?”
“But child no good can come
To lie at home forever”
And so I must embark
To face another dreary day
Not knowing what beholds,
The future, today.
Bells toll and lessons begin
But flapping wings I hear
Not a bird
And not a bat
But Death’s Angel nears
For me he comes I fear.

A crimson sky above me floats
Below a river flows
Of blood and fire
And forlorn desires,
And so Death’s hand I take
To depart for the world above
Below I glance;
The world fades
What was so important
I cannot remember
All I hear are a woman’s cries:
“Why oh Why!
Must I go on
In a world without my child”
*
And now we pray
A solemn prayer
For those departed souls
Peace to them
And peace to us
May the black winds abate
And a glimpse of light
A glimmer of hope
We see again.
In memory of those killed on 16th december in an attack on a school in Peshawar, Pakistan

Autumn
none Dec 2014
And down the winds of autumn blow
Up the russet slopes
Trees great and trees small
Unveil their slender bows
Mother Nature's final splendid show
Never lasting as chill winds grow

Companionship...
none May 2017
Alone we come,
alone we leave,
yet all in between,
companionship we seek.
