Pain


Let my pain grow older and wiser,
When the death knell tolls,
I will built a coffin for her,
To be in solace,
To descend and not to levitate,
Because I sneeze pain,
I hear pain, I touch pain, and I walk pain.
I hear pain from
Deep down the abyss of hell,
Producing cries of unknown.
I see my body giving birth to uncanny prickles,
I touch the warm waters that gifted me blisters.
From the dark corners of beautiful gardens,
I see eyes of pain with beckoning signs.
When too much of fakeness engulfs my existence,
I see Pain commuting in public bus,
Looking out at the old footpaths.
Pain clutches tightly to the windows
Of the young widow,
with one week of nuptial happiness.
Pain borns when rain rapes the land,
Heavily pouring down in red and yellow.
Pain takes the form of old abandoned toy in the cellar,
Trying to get free of the dust.
The flowers of unrequited love in multiple pockets cry out in pain.
And when summer gets murdered by autumn, pain falls down from ashoka trees.
Sometimes,
Really many times,
I embrace pain and squeeze it,
Till it suffocates.
Because,
When pain is loved, it loves us back.

THE DREAMCATCHER ( A Poem)

She tried. And made the hoops from willows to wove those magical webs. Wrapped the hoop with suede lacing. The string was woven onto the hoop. Hours passed. She wove some of her favourite decorations to it. Feathers and gemstones, hidden with meanings. Hours passed. But she wanted it  to be perfect. And finally, here it is. THE DREAMCATCHER. She hung it on  her bedroom wall and watched it carefully. Rubbed it with an artist's pride. The hoop smiled, ensuring the travel of sun through the mighty sky. She thought that when night comes  the hole in the center would only let Bawedjige( good dreams)pass. She would be able to sleep safe and sound today. The nightmares will never ever haunt her. For she has her Dreamcatcher. And Bawedjigewin( bad dreams) will be trapped in the web, to be dispelled at the first light of morning. She slept. The sun rays pierced into her eyes. She opened her eyes with the innocence of a newborn babe. The thought stroke...

Everytime there came a music from the old devastated house on the hilltop.It wasn't jazz or melody or rap or opera. It sounded the broken soul. The long lost soul set to dwindle and shrink in solitude.Sewed into melancholy and dresssed in rhapsody,the hilltop triumphed over the hurricane of that season.And the music from the house gradually faded away,to welcome the next season.

No Worries!

I really wonder why people around me worries a lot. They stress on some matters as if it some great disaster is about to come.. We have this sole life and spending this whole life vexed on trivial things means wasting our valuable moments.Instead of that why can't people cherish their memories ? At least it can create a smile on their faces. Spread smiles and relax your cheek muscles. Travel lonely and accompany no one. Purchase and feel everything. Make this your motto and live a better life. You can die a better man. A.C
