Little bird

An angry sun gleamed through glass
And the sultry wind danced around
Two three minds were moving on
Hoping to see their little bird


Expletive words and occasional sobs
Weighed the car down and made it sway
Ignoring the sway they moved on
Hoping to see their little bird


Under the sun on dusty paths
Vultures looked on with bloodshot eyes
Staring ahead they moved on
Hoping to see their little bird


On that flinty asphalt road
The car zoomed on with its terminal sway
Like a lightning the mighty crash came
Twisting the metal and tearing the flesh


With an interested air the vultures came
And found death dancing around
A baby’s cry and a fathers groan
Made them sing their morbid song


Straining her wings the little bird came
And saw their eyes glassy and cold
She opened her mouth but made no sound
Hugged all of them and closed her eyes


The vultures waited feigning sleep
Sensing a feast on this splash of flesh
The little bird slept hugging it all
And dreamt of her nest and its haunting dreams

River and I

I sat there, on an ancient bench
Gazing at an ancient river
We struck a chord and started our talk
About his flow and his heart


He was born when the sun beams kissed
The snowy cheeks of his sleeping mom
A little hop here and a mighty splash there
The child transformed to a handsome youth


The river flowed on, and see he did
Lonely teardrops and dancing hearts
Many a times he fell in love
At times with mermaids, at times with swans


He was the river and he couldn’t keep
Their oozing love in his flowing heart
He was lonely as he couldn’t find
One little heart which could contain his love


On a sparkling day filled with light
He saw her form and her dreamy eyes
Taken aback he froze in fear
Seeing the depth and warmth of her soul


She was the sea and she saw his pain
She took him in with al his flaws
Loosing his fear he embraced her
And his fluid heart throbbed in her endless soul


He died there in her arms
Only to live an endless life
Every moment he is born
He lives his youth and then sleeps in her soul


Giving me his ancient smile
The river flowed on leaving me on shore
I thought of my life and I thought of you
And I became the river and you the sea
