a tale of lost cities

a thousand tale
several thousand words,
and so many people!
you and me,
we are lost

the sky is vast
the sea, too deep
the earth, a labyrinth of right and wrong
and so many people!
you and me,
we are lost

lost in this labyrinth of time and space, right and wrong
sometime we try to find ourselves
sometime we find each other

sometime, those days,
the dawn is sweet,
the evening, sweeter

sometime, those days,
the sky, the earth, the sea
all crumble up like dried up fragrant flowers
and crawl into our veins and blood

a thousand tale
several thousand words

evening

evening comes and goes
what remain etched forever
are the whispers of the mad wind in my ear

icicles

not anymore

the birds sing

they watch, muted

as spring remains frozen, icicles clinging the leaf tips,

icicles of spring

cold, hard, unmelting, rock solid

a lump of water, forgotten, dried

like tears, forgotten

like someone had been sad long time back

but forgot to cry

like someone had that lump in the throat

a lump, swallowed and not mentioned

and inside, it lumped into ice, into icicles

cold, hard, unmelting, rock solid

not anymore

the birds sing

they keep watching, in mute!
