...who is a POET??...he is...but a dethroned king sitting among the ashes of his palace trying to fashion an image out of the ashes...
..he is the poorest of the poor..yet he carries an oasis in his heart cultivated by the caravan of his thinking...he is a pauper..but he still pretends to be a ' prince ' in the kingdom of his vivid imagination..
..he only sings when he is starving for he cannot sing if his mouth be filled with food...
..he only raises his hand to beg for he cannot raise his hands if it be filled with gold...
..his wealth is his winged imagination and fictive power to think...and ' thinking ' always acts for him as the stumbling stone to ' poetry '... :) ;)
..he is a tree watered by the river of beautiful thoughts..and carries in his heart a lamp unconquered by darkness..
..yes..he seeks NIRVANA..not by counting coins of gold..but in leading his sheep to greener pasture..in seeking a smile from humanity...in putting his child to sleep..and in writing the last line of his poem... :)

...he will be unheard until humans honor the dead and forget the living..for then only upon his ' death '... ' he ' will rule their hearts...and his kingdom will have no ending... :) :) ;)
..TO HAVE GREAT POETS..THERE MUST BE GREAT AUDIENCES TOO... :)

poetry left me :( :(


pack up the moon
dismantle the sun
pour away the ocean
sweep away the wood
for nothing now 
can ever 
come to any good
                      

poetry left me
left me in all forms
verse,couplets and meter
escaped me
hidden in metaphor and similes
words no longer stir me
but die a hundred deaths
choking my parched veins
I no longer see words
dripping like hot lava
setting forest fires
cascading your wild hair
I am not the horse of wind
galloping high up in the skies
carrying messages to the moon..
dwelling your magical eyes.
nor am I the singing bird
collecting twigs of alphabets
weaving limericks nestled
in every fabric of your eyebrows
Gibran ,Hafez ,Rumi,Qabbani!!
what use is their sorcery
do you now picture my disease
a wanderer disrobed of language
allow me to pluck words
from the garden of your beauty
again lend wings to my bardic existence
baptize me with that one ' rare event '
your ' beautiful face '  :(
