"agha" poems
Through the haze of a lost timescape
I see the eyes of one who led me, loved me and left me
And now in this new dreamscape I wonder who is the dreamer and who has dreamed
Into being
The separate realities that collide
Reveal an existence that has always lived in me
And outside
In the new scape we navigate
I see the boundaries left to cross
For two people
In their new terrain, with no marked pathways
Only the yearning of something once known
A scent still lingering in breezes and forest fires
A familiarity that finds
The heart in a state of oneness with itself and all around

Pain may dwell, grief may last tonight
Pangs recall moments of past tonight
Lovers go blind this night, it is Union
No religion preaches to fast tonight
Then tear this flower—Leave me alone
Dear Love—your anger is vast tonight
"Curse" yelled the Agha—says 'almanac'
This is what made me aghast tonight
Mirza—accept your defeat—Love is lost
Separation—havoc is forecast tonight
