Dead like a stone- Poem by Sarvajeet

I call you and yearn for you You pretend to be dead, like a stone But I will cling to you I will hide in the collyrium of your eyes Be the sparkle in your nose-bud stone Be the music in the song you sing And even when you throw away my memory Give yourself to someone, from brow to toe You will feel me as lush rain downpour from a meandering monsoon cloud You will smell me as a flower by the river, where you fetch water I will come in your dreams every night your breasts will burn,from a hug so tight I call you and yearn for you You pretend to be dead, like a stone

I write

I write to wipe off biterness and anger Of memories of my tribe killed in past life To atone for promises that I did not keep I write for peace, for forgiveness I write for dreams, For desires woven in remarkable designs For hope,for a thousand flowers For a brief moment when the world is not the same So that a difference is made to someone's life I write so that I can talk to some one in this cold, sullen city
