To My Brother
I saw you there, you missed her in her deathbed
We all knew you were flying from too far a land.
I saw you there, as you laid her in her final rest
And she was laid beside him, peacefully she did.
We grew up together, a token of time of the past.
And I know, we had tried our efforts in fortitude.
They say maturity is something one needs to inherit
But I suppose It could be a puzzling virtue to intrude.
I try to limit my calls to you nowadays, I really do.
And I feel, I am better now, far better you can say.
Nothing startles me now, nothing bothers so much
I wish that I could read my poem aloud, someway.
I was striving hard for a poem on the other day
A poem to be written with one single line, I tried…
I liberated each letter from the poem, I realized
Only to request to take back to my motherland.
