IN THE DEPTHS


I.
The cold star
I hide in my body
Is for you

Your voice is the wind
And your hands the sleep

The same sun
Warms us both.
II.
I listened to the sea
Went to the earth

My heart that the water draws.
III.
Give me your softness
The fringes of the night

That in birds are blown
by the cold winds

The wind bends me
Through you.

HAIKU'S

 
What secretes beyond
Morn breeze
I only travel among birdy-hearts 


Each night
Therein same grief
Dying away sole star!


The Lizard
Tailless and sluggish
.....swinging water.....


A leaf falling down 
I touch on my heart
September : Asif a woman?


Tiring
Contemplating on
The name of disappeared star


 An Ancient sky
what I traced
was my last word


Butterfly fluttering around
Approaching night
A little time has left to me


It has come to end, says
Shivering ant
Winter!

 
Between two tiny bushes
Rising in fear
Moon!
 

How milky!
Never-ending blood of
Lightning.
