Alone for months
Thinking of you,
With only a phone
To caress and soothe
...
Had Smarter bin Laden hit South or North Block,
He would still have been a hero roaming free in Pak or POK,
A few tiny squeals,
Not a thought of ‘Seals',
...
Weep, that leaf has gone,
You plucked and did desert,
The burnt-heart has by someone else
Been joined with his heart.
...
To the broken leaf crying,
Said the leaf in prime:
Yesterday you, tomorrow another,
This is the way of time.
...
Under the silken
October sun,
My hibiscus blossoms;
It's not my garden.
...
No one else before,
She sighs,
Has taken her
Where he has or nigh.
...
Of two broken leaves,
So sweet was the union,
Such the colour that filled them,
Pale looked the garden.
...
On this day
Of joyous celebrations,
Of the chimes of time,
Memories of tears
...
