There is a mother who stands at her doorstep
She waits for her...

Denouement

The plot thickens broadens in plastered confused juxtapositions
over time there and then weaves tapestries lost unfound caught

Viscous tears dried out shed rivers searching oases oceans of love
squeeze suffering hatred solid misconceptions scripted resolve 

Crocheted dreams...

The old mans eyes lights up
As he retells the story of the hero
Who grew in his own village our village
Who was one of them grew with them

He tells of how the hero disagreed

Allergic species of alphabets causes itching in my mind,
Like rashes, lonely frail but gigantic when unite,

Words carrying meaning in accord with linked dialect,
Languages holding cultures but biased,

Such a biased word the SUN whenever screaming,
Compelling east...

How I used to care for this finely beautiful gate, once!
Couldn't ever see it rusty, dingy, dusty, dirty;
Creaking of this gate left me psychically in a dunce,

Thanks God it's Friday!
Good time was spent in natural zoo

I calmly watched some of cool wild animals, 

Birds, cats, monkeys ,and few more..

Each year, an evening bright as any star,
in song and verse retells the tale once more,
with homage paid to one man’s repertoire.

It is the night, in deepest dark, that death foretells
the demon heart in which all lonely feeling dwells.

FIRST FRUITS

In number small - God’s chosen men,
doth storm the earth with words and pen.
Strong tithe retells of glory reaped.
Offered first fruits of those who sleep.

We gather at the feast of weeks.
