Best Seller Poems

A female tongue pushes me down from the swing of sleep.
Rain kids rouse the stink of railway track in the dawn.
A long chain of complaints tinkles on her lips.
Worries about her female children at home
rise up like the black smoke from the train.

His liquor reddened half opened eyes gaze
at the life-like-fan – its rotation makes...

(The scene from Movie Ulzhan, Drama/German screened at 2007 Festival de Cannes)

( English Style)

I met, Shakuni, in a foreign land
He was a seller of precious words
He travelled a lot and the words he sold.
I met, Shakuni,  in a foreign land.
Sold words like “Moksha” an Indian word
Meaning a peaceful death without bad deeds
I met Shakuni,...

To the customers –
What else poor kids can do?...

Callum is an old-fashioned man on the verge of becoming history’s memory

Ancient even in that he holds only one job but that is for privation of another 

Sort of a whiz kid at what he does and his curriculum vitae very straight forward

Has always been a paper boy since back in those days when news...

Every day, the undercover soldier
Used to buy her big balloons
Red, blue, yellow, green, colourful and free
In those lazy afternoons

She let them fly with a smile on her face
Her laughter ringing around
He watched her do that every single day
And yet bought her balloons round

One day, he had to go for his duty
He gave her pink, new...

The Carpet Seller and Dali Lama 

The carpet seller in Cascais is tall wears kaftan and his ebony 
face looks as a relief of an Egyptian Farao…. Carries his carpets
 on his forearm (like an offering) and show to tourists who sit 
drinking cold beer at pavement cafes.  When they ask how much 
he...

Once I said, “A great world this would be
if it somehow became excuse-free.”
We no longer could say,
“I will do that some day
if I get around to it. We’ll see!”

If we’re honest, we all will admit
there are times when we don’t want to quit
doing things we enjoy 
to do chores that annoy.
Others’ trust in us then...

Limerick 1 – The sausage seller

I used to know a sausage seller called Franz 
Who could never resist a dance
But whenever he was waltzing
Mice were assaulting 
And stealing his wurstchen 
Whenever he gave them the chance....

the basic instructions before leaving earth
the book that will quench your spiritual thirst
the B.I.B.L.E. the anointed word of God
the manual on how to live that we should take to heart

so there must be something of substance in there
the tenets of God and the teachings of Jesus the Christ

So many good stories inside and every last one is true
Oh! how my Lord Jesus died this from an insiders view
Daniele's new friend the lion or Lots wife turning to salt
Yeah, I know you're not buying and aren't one to exalt 

How 'bout Joseph's amazing journey no the other one
The one who was sold into...

I will be a witness to this

To all this bad business 

Practice gets lost in the need for money

Quality drops when you question it they act funny

Saying they are right and the customer is the dummy

Are you going to stand or stay for it

Even though you were the one that paid for it

Work hard every...

The Song of bangle seller


He sings in all nights to his crying son
to sleep with smile and to forget his mother
Though he is a poor bangle seller
his  poem will be too high and luxury
There he compares his son as a prince of his empire and
he leaves his son with the angles to take care
Many...

A Best Seller

This would make a wonderful song,
When in his arms you always belong
And a great guitar player he now is;
A beat or a note he will never miss.

First song he sang was about me
And how much I was meant to be
While waiting how my heart did beat,
Every time when we both would meet.

Now he...
