REMEMBERING LOSS

Just crows, sparrows kneeled under wings
while the lambs hurried from pens to stray,
even they shine more when drenched
the rains made me remember my winged heart.

Panting, when I was out of breaths, I learnt love
too late was that, then my tongue was bitter
I can merely utter hate and pain, how can I love
now my verses sing torn Romeos and lost Juliets.

At night, I shrunk into lost corners in outskirts
lonely reckoning the trampled lovers of world
then passionately, I let snails to host my love
but my stone heart widened fast like plagues.

The rain I drenched yesterday
sighs that made air to blow. . .

Yesterday I left them
yesterday sighed calm
yesterday earth was dry. . .

Now the Mastaan cries
the drunkard longs
the wines of death. . .
