Moisture sinks into tree leaves Eyes drop tears in a delicate flow Do you keep the tears that freeze? People are frightened to show When they are envious of trees
She weeps in secret silence Like a bird with a broken wing, So baffled it cannot sing Forever perched On that lucky trees’ limbs
How – how I express, Where – where I cry, The journal and the sky Old man says life ends in a tie …but I say that he tells a lie
A man deprived He must decide Do, or die… or else. I gathered his thoughts And I got false.
Then I met her, She, who deserves, She, who is reserved, She’s fond of chocolates, Crazed: crazed Eyes an unfaltering maze of gaze
Why can’t beauty find This time and place, Strive and trace; trace… Problems gobbled up, Once they are raised Oh, God help us To ease and face The dawn of fate
this was a collaboration by me and Kamran Javed. It is wonderful to know what it's like on the other side of the world, and to be able to see somebody elses' writing process up close. :)
