At midnight,
After the rains,
I spread my wings
And flew across
The wide road
Without any company
And there,
Was this board.

Sparrow trading

That’s good.

Trading sparrows.
Trading birds.
Birds to be sold.

I decided
To troll
Ravishankar aka Ra Sh
As a translator
And Babu Ramachandran
Aka Alberto Caeiro.

I entered
The Sparrow Factory.
The Bird Market.
Wholesale trading centre of birds
Without ringing the bell.

I did not want to
Wake up
Even a single little sparrow,
So,
I stepped in
Without a sound
Or even a thought.

There was no bird
At the gate
The watchman
A retired soldier
Snored.

I moved on.
There was no one.

Where did those two cat eyes go?

I pushed
The window
Open
Gently
And looked in.

A lad
Fast asleep
Breaking all grammar
In some unknown language.

Brother, brother
I called
Without the birds hearing it.

That
Unknown language
Blinked awake
And walked up to me.

I felt so sad for him.

I asked,
Softly,
Weighed down by guilt.

Birds?

He said.

Birds gone loose.

Birds gone loose?

Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose. Birds gone loose.

Every human being
On this universe
Sang
In many languages.

That
Birds gone loose.

Nothing more to say.

*You too can try these three things. Except going in search of those birds that have gone loose.

Kuzhur Wilson
Translated by Anand Haridas

I used to be a sweet heart
I used to be all right
I tell myself I love you
But I'm creeping every night
When I met you at the party
And I told you you were pretty
I was honestly just trying to score
But you made me wait a week
Just to kiss you on the cheek
Now it's breaking my heart to break yours

I said I love you in the summer
But will I love you in the fall?
I thought I wasn't like the others
Guess I'm an ******* after all
Come September I'll be gone, gone, gone
Come September I'll be gone, gone, gone

I used to be a good guy
I used to be all right
I tell myself I love you
But I'm creeping every night
When I met you at the party
And I told you you were pretty
I was honestly just trying to score

I said I love you in the summer
But will I love you in the fall?
I thought I wasn't like the others
Guess I'm an ******* after all
Come September I'll be gone, gone, gone
Come September I'll be gone, gone, gone
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa, gone, gone, gone
Come September I'll be gone, gone, gone

I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel bad
I've been trying but I just can't get to feel bad
When did I become one, one, one of the bad guys?

I said I love you in the summer
I love you in the summer
But will I love you in the fall?
I lo-lo-love you in the fall
I thought I wasn't like the others
I wasn't like the others
Guess I'm an ******* after all
Come September I'll be gone, gone, gone
Come September I'll be gone, gone, gone
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa, gone, gone, gone
You gon' miss me when I'm gone, gone, gone, gone

When I’m gone
Will you miss me?
When I’m gone
Will you ‘wear my heart on your sleeve?’

When I’m gone
How different will things be?
When I’m gone
Will you still, continue, to believe?
In all the things that you once did?
When I’m gone
What things will you get rid off?
When I’m gone
When I’ve gone?

How much of me was left behind?
How long will it take you to find?
Your way back to yourself?
When I’m gone
When I’ve gone

Please ‘live well’
I have heard that: ‘you don’t have to/need to stay sad, to miss someone.’
Once I’m gone
When I’m gone
Don’t stay sad, for too, long.
When I’m gone
When I’ve gone

Please know that I did care about you/loved you
Even if, that day I was mad
Please don’t, beat yourself up, and continue to, feel bad.
When I’m gone
When I’ve gone

In time, everything eventually, seems to slowly, fade away
But in your heart, I hope that I will stay.
With you
When I’m gone
When I’ve gone

Please know that I’m in a safe place & at peace
and I’m there/here with you
Watching over, all the things, in your life, that you do.
When I’m gone
When I’ve gone

The/this time, may seem, for you, so long
Whilst I’m gone.
For you
but remember, please always remember, that I cared, about you/loved you
and wish you, all the best, in everything, that you do.
When I‘m gone
When I’ve gone

I want/wish you, to be happy, and free
One day again, you will, be there/here again, with me.
but for now, please ‘Live life well.’
and when our time is due again
You can ‘tell’
Me, all the things, that you did
From the life, that you lived.
When I’m gone
When I’ve gone

ONLY FOR THE REAL ENTERTAINMENT

gone, gone, gone
will you be gone tonight?
gone, gone gone,
will you be home tonight?

all the windows,
all they show is frost,
cloudy panes and soft street lights
are you coming home tonight?

the lights glow,
and i see shadows underneath,
me and you dancing in the lights,
under the boulevard at night

but you’re

gone, gone, gone
will you be gone tonight?
gone, gone gone,
will you be home tonight?

i stand alone at night,
no more streetlights,
just an empty bed,
an empty home

an empty home,
will you come home?
come home,
come home to me

gone, gone, gone
i’ll be gone tonight

gone, gone, gone
you’ll return tonight
only to find me gone
tonight

I know you have moved on/forward/are gone,
But...
I miss you,
The You,
that I once knew.
I know you have moved on/forward/are gone,
But...
I miss you,
The You,
that I was allowed,
to know.
I know you have moved on/forward/are gone,
But...
I am sad,
To see you go.
I know you have moved on/forward/are gone,
But...
Why?
Without a-
Goodbye?
I know you have moved on/forward/are gone
But...
I miss hearing your voice,
echo through my soul.
I know you have moved on/forward/are gone,
But...
I miss,
The one-on-one times,
we shared.
I know you have moved on/forward/are gone,
But...
I am wondering why?
Without any warning?
I know you have moved on/forward/are gone,
But...
I wanted to let you know,
That I miss you.
I know you have moved on/forward/are gone,
But,
My heart is hurting/and,
feels lost without you.
I know you have moved on/forward/are gone,
But,
I will find a way
to stay strong.



VS2
I know you have moved on/forward/are gone,
I really do...
Miss the You,
that You
that I once knew.
I know you have moved on/forward/are gone,
But...
I still don’t understand, why?
-without a goodbye?
I know you have moved on/forward/are gone,
But...
I miss hearing your voice,
echo through my ears.
I know you have moved on/forward/are gone,
But...
I wish, we could have back,
Those one-on-one times,
we share.
I know you have moved on/forward/are gone,
But...
I wonder...
How are you going/doing now?
I know you have moved on/forward/are gone,
But...
I wonder... why?
Suddenly,
Without any notice.
I know you have moved on/forward/are gone,
But...
I wonder...
If I said something?
To upset you/offend you?
I know you have moved on/forward/are gone,
But...
I wonder...
If you will come back...
Someday,
Since there was no proper goodbye.
I know you have moved on/forward/are gone,



VS3
I know you have moved on/forward/are gone,
But...
In case,
You were wondering…
I will be alright.
I know you have moved on/forward/are gone,
I am now happy.
I know you have moved on/forward/are gone,
I am stronger,
Then I have ever been.
I know you have moved on/forward/are gone,
That...
I am actually,
Alright.
I know you have moved on/forward/are gone,
But...
If it wasn’t for you,
I wouldn’t have been
where I am now,
Today,
Because of that time
that you had
decided to leave.

I know all this,
Even more so now,
than before.

I know, I know,
But even so,
I just wanted to write
-and say,
I missed you,
The old you,
and that I am now alright.

24/4(1st verse) 7-14/5/2020 (2nd&3rd verse)

Gone, gone, gone
Dead and gone
Never to return

Many soldiers
Street soldiers,
Not army men

Gone, gone, gone
Dead and gone
Never to return

My soldiers,
My friends,
Not strangers

Gone, gone, gone
Dead and gone
Never to return

They’re buried
Six feet down
Cross marked

Gone, gone, gone
Dead and gone
Never to return

Goodbye
Good luck
Rest easy

Gone, gone, gone
Dead and gone
Never to return

I got no place I can go
No I got nothing I can do
I am waiting for an answer
But all I see is you leaving faster
Mention me the moment and I'll start to cry
Tell me no story for I have been untied
Where have you gone to my lady?
Or have you gone and I'm crazy?

I whisper to myself no
As I hear the call of the crow
These eyes are dry and greying
There is something inside of me saying
I must lay down my weapons
So I can learn the next lesson
Where have you gone to my lady?
Or have you gone and I'm crazy?

No, these hours aren't mine
They belong only to the hands of time
But you, I thought I had you
When we sailed together through the blue
Yes I thought we were together
But now I see we were really apart
Where have you gone off to my lady?
Or have you already gone and I'm crazy?

The wind outside my window crackles and howls
My face has grown weary always wearing a scowl
I've forgotten the way of things and how to see
I remember a past but it makes no difference to me
As I sit in a grey lit morning
I think of our sweet life turning
Oh' where have you gone off to my lady?
Or have gone and I'm crazy?

Rain has started to fall as it wets the high grass
The rust on the rails chips the fine polished brass
Each pebble I walk upon
Is the like the end of our song
I look through my eyes but I see only you
I try to be strong but I don't have a clue
Where have you gone to my lady?
Or have you already gone and I'm crazy?

I can't recall how I used to be without her
I've lost my feelings and I can't find the cure
I tell no lies but she's inside and I can't hide
The trials of pain I try day and day to feign
When I think through life
All I see is lines n' lines of strife
No smile can grant me the beauty she held
Waving her hand soft eyes sparkle like a spell
Where have you gone to my lady?
Are you already gone and have I gone crazy?

Eagles feathers press against the side of my head
As I lay alone with no one near in my bed
The coffee is boiling the streets are getting run down
I don't even know how long I've been living in this town
People say my name but I can't recall
If I arrived here in Summer or in the late Fall
I make my way to the river
As I feel a familiar shiver
Where have you gone to my lady?
Have you gone and I'm crazy?

Turn off the heat and let me turn off the light
This room is getting hot and the people too bright
Lay down your worries and pull up a chair
Outside there is nothing so hang up your cares
I see no reason to continue nor hope in the score
Everyone around me shouts love but I see lore
Swear to me the rules of right and wrong
And I'll show you a life without love lived too long
Where have you gone to tonight my lady?
Or have you already gone and I'm crazy?
