My Child
Only an extra-ordinary nose
(which I have not)can follow the odour
of your strange reason my son !
Why am I dying so much to pierce in to you
and why are you so bewildered and scarred
just at the least of my vision?
Alas,you are now counted
as one among the last grains of sand
flowing down the throat of a sand-clock/
like the last cubicle of sugar
upon the tongue-tip of time !
Tell me what you are/who you are,
red or black/square or bulbous
-answer do you never to any of my questions!
I couldn't even guess even one millionth
of your truth with all the intensity
of my hard-ignited illumination !
Who are you?Twenty five years passed,
what is your life your love?
Why do you calmly turn your face
when I approach you?Are you
that love which I couldn't demand
from someone or that ,which
I couldn't give someone in time?
Are you the haplessly solidified
stony silent answer to all my anxious questions
-big and small?Or are you the heavy return
against those spent off,non-cared for ,ignored
lighter moments that expected
their jolly answer?
