LIFE A FOREST

If life is a forest

The two souls are two trees of coruscating leaves

If life is a novel

It is in-one-breath-non-stop-read tale from the ribs.

If life a river

Their faith is like the sportive play between

the stone and watery ripples

If life is a struggle

Their strength manifest in a lively fun

like shadow playing against the sun

If life is rest

Their ideas are the prowess of mind

If life is colourful

Their peace of mind ever easy to find.

If friendship ever goes vocal

Time becomes spacious and huge

If their oneness can be measured

Their mind can be filled with green hues

If life is a whirlwind of laughter

The two souls are the inborn icon of smile

If life is a quicksand of tears

They beckons us to the enchanted isle.

RETREAT

If any day you come back as the Shraban cloud

Shall I come as stormy wind

to carry you along with me

Does the cloud know

how to love the wind when it is stormy

Or all illusions and delusions just end

before all begins in the memory trove

One woman can be a piece of cloud

with the promise of love

If you come back as a river I may wait for you

as the sea with heartful of waves

Time passes on fast

like a glass of wine and raves

Reality is fragile while limitless is

the horizon of dream

I wait for your arrival as a dark-eyed Apsara

to the river’s brim

If you ever come back as a hilly fountain

I will be soaked in your water

beneath as small pebbles

I dream of being warm in your wave water

like a sparkling bubbles

If you come back at the end of Winter with the vernal song

Life will be all so beautiful and nothing will remain wrong.
