Poem
Just see
How fearlessly
Sunshine is seated
On the  gravestone

And the caring breeze
Whispering to the loneliness
So absolute
Beneath the tombstone

A paleolithic stone
A meaningless silence
Guarding utterly alone
The desiccating non-existence

Here lies she
Neither sad nor happy
Decaying gingerly
Enriching the earth

Are all doors locked
The moment we breathe our last
Then why the philosophers and scientists say
Energy is neither created nor destroyed

Happy earth
Taking her in with mirth
Smilingly giving birth to
Green pink and yellow

Coz her  face chiselled
Poetry in her dimples
Aggression in her pimples
She made the flowers bloom

Where there was just thorn
Dried hay on broken bricks
Rude words from unwashed mouth
All stared with amazement

Yes when she had her words and breath
Flow of life like a brook
Never dreamt of lying buried
Knew her life in wavelets only

In her looks
A cup of morning tea
A mug of evening coffee
Fountain pen and notebook

One who gave so much
To life and society
Will stop stay put and still
Useless skeletons?

In death too
To herself she is true
Providing nourishment to soil
Making room for red and violets

I look in wonder
You are still writing poetry
In these flowers of skeletons
Colours of desiccation

I am sure next spring
Here in this green cover
A Cypress will grow and spread
A recognition of yours rieker deeds 

Now the afternoon is still here
Moments are tender and pale
Shadows are coming and going
Stillness of accumulated past

Intense is darkness
Beyond death of life
Like when a love
Suddenly ceased to exist

As I remember your face
I earn freedom from this cold ice
Your warm cheek and palm
Are still a vibrant support

In death you lie down here
Stay reassured
In life you are in our thoughts
Whenever a candle goes out

Whenever we run out of candles
We look for you at our centre
You never disappoint us
Ever lighting us a candle

This way death awakes in life
Cypress grows on lonely graveyard
This way shadows of deer and cheetahs
Rise in life to engage our eyes
