Don't Go to the Morrows

 


Don't go to the morrows, 

I haven't had enough of you

For all my love that I contained 

for the past years was just released. 

And when I see you leave, 

I don't know what to do with all the love, 

I don't know how to complete our broken conversations. 

I told myself it was just a bad dream, 

Only it is not. 

People said we were too good together

and our smiles synced

And we seemed to be in Paradise of love. 

So don't go to the morrows, 

If we stick together, 

We can create a better symphony, 

we can be each other's muses, 

where you can paint me

While I write about you. 

And now that I think of it, 

It has always been you in my poems, 

Several people asked me 'who are you?

I told them you are everyone, 

Everyone and everything that loved me, 

But they were not convinced. 

They want 'the one'

I can't give them 'the one' when there is no 'one'. 

That's when you decided to go, 

Leave my thoughts alone. 

But don't go to the morrows 

If you stay, we can conquer many minds, 

Provide solace to many hearts

Like we always did. 

Tell me if I can chase you if you leave, 

Tell me you will return, 

Don't just hang me here like an unfinished portrait. 

I wish I had the courage to write without you, 

I wish there are enough choices for me to make, 

And despite all these, 

I wish you could help me write one last poem.

SHE

She was a girl of little importance.. She was not a damsel or a princess. But there was fire in her eyes. The fire of determination. Fire of dreams to be fullfilled. She never saw it ,but others did. But others never understood it ,but she did. She always dreamt of her future prince. Her shining eyes and glossy lips always waited for the arrival of her prince. One day. She met her prince,the charming one who came on white horse, she believed destiny made them meet, And she prayed let the same destiny unite them!! Days passed. Everyday she saw him. But she was afraid to come out of her shell. Another day. As she walked, he came. He walked towards her. she paused. As he reached closer her heart wrenched from its seat. And now there is no distance  between them. He smiled and reached for her lips. she closed her eyes. They kissed. It was deep. He looked at her. She tried to be normal.. But there was nothing normal around her .

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 her. She

The Grendels

Horror is lurking behind every moment of darkness, Seeming to be human, we cannot distinguish you from Grendel. We see no Beowulfs coming to rip off your arms that aid you well. When every closed door warns us, Every stare seems to map our bodies, Every vehicle appears to follow us, Every touch seems to warn us, You, cultured and well behaved, You are the light of the day, You are the Lord of the people, Who metamorphose into damned dangers  At the end of the day. Your venomous fangs go in search of  Prey, You wait in the darkness with twinkling eyes, Admiring the power of your hands, That can open up hearts, And show the uncultured your worth.  After every hunting, the sycophants who surround you, Kiss your hands and touch your feet. They wash your dirt and make your bed. They cure your sickness by gifting you scepters. Making you invisible, they uproot every Beowulfs to ensure your reign. Thus you flourish, never to die but to hunt and haunt. And behind your house, we see a pile of d
