Cosmogony
The nature is that much powerful.
We are only dwarfs take oxygen
and give carbon dioxide to the air.
They call this life.
What else?
When breathing stopped
Earth takes us back immediately.

A song but no lyrics
He's a ramshackle piano and his partner's cheesy finger tips
touch the wobble reeds.
The intonation of music comes out with his cries and her tears
like a salty wind from a consonant Ocean.

A plea to the invisible Ombudsman
In this sweatshop our tears are not valued
As it's not shinning well.
Though it tastes salty,
Not exactly salt.
So it's going for a song.
Moth always flies to the flame
And burns it seems.

Caged but not birds
Some they do have wings
But none for human beings.
Cages on the latch
But they stuck indoors.
Unexpected birth
And the tedious death
On the same nagging Earth
Of these rare specious Wolves.

Though she betrays her Bookworm lover
The promises fly so high
And the betrothel goes astray
But he never repents
As he drowns in a passage of a book
That says a King was abandoned by the Queen
And she eloped with the stableman.

Prairie dog
You live in burrows.
My dear rodent,
I know your front teeth are very strong
A toddler like I search a place (dwelling) to hide
As I am scared of cannibals
Those who speak a sweet language.

Enemies were there in his dream too?
All his grey hair
Turned into a Golden spiral
At the barber shop in Heaven
And he watched in the mirror
Myriads of Barbers
Behind him
With sharp razors?
to all my friends!

Under the pine tree
The pine cones dropped from the tree
A pauper picked one and murmured,
'This dry scaly fruit birds don't like.
We have some similarities but you are cone shaped
And I am a shapeless schmuck.'

Fishing in the troubled waters
The thin line goes deeper and deeper in the bottomless ocean of life.
Where's the golden fish of hope in the journey of fantasy?
*To my faraway friend Denis who recognizes my holey vocabulary.

Bottleneck
Her rare astonishing love
It's like Braille alphabet.
You have to touch the raised dots and understand.
But caressing is prohibited since a long time.
Then how can he trace this fragile creature?
