A Little Light Girl
Traveling,
marveling,
lingering
around the globe.
Wandering like Santiago in the Arab desert
Seeking the cursed ego
He was on a song since years ago;
People met with a purple mask
He never asks
Who are you?
Why are you?
And don’t do the same task;
Bird in the chest leaps up
Cupping the holy sip
Sipping on the soaring ship
Dipping and nurturing up;
A soul, a holy coal flutter
Facing and punching the cutters
Always flies like a butterfly
She remains mute and mutters
Little angel cladded in black rob
She never bamboozles the mob
Folk come and show fickleness
She never sicks from sickness;
Learning from the law of nature
She stays cool and mature
Smiling like Athena in a steamy phase
She does not show her haze;
Flying and blooming in summer air
She emerges fair and rare
Reading Rumi and cherishing Clair
She faces rustics and trusts Crystal Clear,
Fatima, she plays for Santiago
Reminds the world of, a mysterious web years ago
Caring like Manolin, she remains in the flow
Sharks she faces, Marlin she kisses
Strange creation, she befriends to foe.
A Fig Tree
Wandering like a wandering cloud
Echoing eternity and fraternity in a barren land
Planting seeds and yelling loud
A seller sells dream on wasteland.
Sharing and Adoring Classics
Cherishing and Singing Romantics
Milton, Spencer, Chaucer, and Pope
Awakening the sleepy and pouring hope.
Yelling and yelling before sleeky stones
An eager bird in the chest never stops
Years and years passed in this ritual
A few fig trees emerge and never collapse.
Among them, a plant stands tall
In winds and tempests, it never falls
Marching like a Greek warrior, it preaches Peace
It sways in summer and always calls.
Somberness, serenity, and chastity are tenacious tools
It remains cool among fools
Begging and absorbing graceful narrations
It lushes and lures literally in endless generations.
