Poems

Blues I

By the river bed,

wild stones float,

and far ahead a lonely boat,

going down a dreamy road

enchanted!

Thou eyes of sunset,

do you know

the yearning of this heart?

For its love gone apart?

Leaving me lying like a stray stone

dying by the river bed?
 

Blues II

I will keep this for later.

This loneliness.

This pain.

This unending cycle of thunder and storm

that reign my heart:

I will let it remain.

Later when I am travelling on a distant train,

or on some nights of unending rain:

maybe then, maybe then

there will be time for

me and all the rhyme,

to sit and talk of my life in vain.

To Beloved

I know that you don’t think much of me.

But I in my foolish love

like a wayward dove float

in the blues of sky,

for a glimpse of your eye,

and your ignorance?

Let it be.

For I know that in the distant shores

where time crumbles to stones,

thou shall wait for me;

and I like a wave

will break upon thee.
