First Love
Nobody teaches a bird to fly
Nobody teaches a fish to swim
Nobody teaches a fruit to ripe
But I have to explain you
That how to love politely?
*A humble poem for the Royal Wedding!

The Deaf Trumpeter
How long are you going to trumpets
Your sad melody for the Trumpet flower in the Trumpet woods?
Brother! You get trampled one day by the trumpet weeds
And we never hear of you again.

The Murmur of Spindrift
A crab walks straight to show its offspring?
Life is an Ocean and we are waves.
A constant flow to the weeping beach.
Beach struggles to grab the waves but fails
and the foam smiles.

A poor Carpenter writes
Though I sandpaper this rough life
This abrasive substance won't smooth it
Ebony is hard to polish
And life gives an antique value
With a matt finish!
*To the silent poet Ebn Zaiat!

I Saw a God With a Beard!
That railway station abandon
No more trains stop,
He sits the beggar on a wooden bench
And he shares his scanty cold meal
with a stray dog!
Moon witnessed the strange dinner
with me.

An Apology
Oh! My beautiful naked fragrant flower
An off-season for me this Summer.
I am sorry as this old wearied bee
Rests on a pepper tree,
It's allergy the pollen
And I am scared of hay fever.

Mantelpiece
Even in the Winter
Your heart is so warm
And a poor mantis
Knows it's hard to come closer?
Though I love it's only a mean for you
And I realize the word equalize is not for small mates?

A poem written in a brothel
Those who go in the heavy rains
some do have umbrellas
but some they don't have
and both of them got soaked.
If you want to get wet
not necessary to go outside.
You find rain indoors too.

Death
A River runs
never take our sorrows to the sea
A Cloud passes
never take our worries away.
All of a sudden
my old friend Repentance
with another friend
search for a shelter
in my sick-bed.

A dot
In the pale blue sky
It's like a dot
And I imagined
Whether a bird or a butterfly?
Though a fledged still she gathers the passing clouds as wings
To flee in the uncertain visionary vista.
