The water equal in the stream
Joy now she has found her home
I didn’t have to do that
except far off betwixt the hearts
it was no lie that we lived
not for the nation
but for the river or the ground
each broad with a mind
I didn’t need to be woken up
we were already living
and reluctant to step out of it
saw the conscience crawling
to meet, with demands and desires
are we shameful with desire
for it’s the same land
now that we are equals, you say
what an odd thing this belt of nature
are we being born together, I say
can I be true with you
cause I too know her
like the time that passed
each day
If you weren’t looking for a war
Something that comes to the mind
was I in your life
or you in mine
just when I thought it’s over
the seasons changed
a changed woman
in her bosom
when the poetry was there
I brought myself to you
as much as you read me to yourself
thoughts like rare birds
leaping out of the mountain face
what’s that I’ve been missing
in the secrets we hold for each other
you made me changed
I see with you
was it meant to be this way
a sudden realisation
that we didn’t know each other
and we do now in a moment
because we said everything
too much, too much
and we had no way to go
to drop off each other on the way
but great things happen
when you say too much!
we barely meet each other, again
A reverie on death
There was a man who said
his Angel comes to him
and a thousand smiles
she gives to him free
it’s alright she says, it’s alright
take anything you want
This man became my greatest friend
I met him after he had died
There was another man
I met along the way
whose kinsmen said
they can protect me from death
I said I don’t believe him
and he said at least to some degree
I told him no
cause I am human for all you know
and I also have a right to fear death
as much as anybody else
why shouldn’t I
fear death, poverty etc etc
the right to feel the shortcomings
of a human life
How do you tell me
that I can surpass that
I didn’t hear him respond
for I was busy in my living reverie
