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. :)
