YOUR DEVIL'S STORM AND MY GOD'S LIGHTNING

YOUR DEVIL's SERMON
the wounded...displaced:
flies feeding on skins of men
carry food to baby flies,
aren't wars encouraging,
nourishing the food chains
of predators,
of the wild and the human,
or the human wild
or the wild human?

THE DEVIL's STORM
there is a storm coming
to fulfill your desires,
dark clouds are innocent-
they inhabit your dreams,
make you powerful
smogs amidst.
unleash your hyenas
into the world of lions,
pray for the storm
for the storm shall
be your sole savior!

MY GOD's SERMON
Aren't you tired
Of being sad?
The comets have fallen,
Wish for a miracle...
Ah! Miracles are not untrue...
They wait for you
To believe in them
For they are born
From the faith within you.
And you...
You die a sloth's death
Every day, fighting
Against the hyenas
You have unleashed
Into the world around you!

MY GOD's LIGHTNING
Carricature!
Yes, You...
You pray to the dark storm,
Submit in fear
For the Evil has injected
Fright into your life,
But have you not witnessed
The lines of fate
That crack open the storm?
Like bright swords in the skies
Annihilating the greyish airs
Like an avatar of Franklin's kite!

WHEREVER THE NIGHTS ARE

We shall meet
wherever the nights are,
guarding the lilies
of the newborn Spring,
caressing the shy breeze
as it turns into a wind
that whistles through thatch
on a starry night,
offering mothers tunes
to sing to
their little monsters
with red, fair cheeks,
and toothless smiles!

We shall grow old
wherever the nights are,
waiting for fireflies
to cure the darkness of the wild.
Stars never twinkle down here,
winged yellows sparkle without fear!

What is lost is still there,
memoirs of roses bookmarked,
romance beyond the class hours,
or tears of teenage love,
in hearts that may skip a few beats
but never miss the parade’s call!

We shall love
wherever the nights are,
pacifying each other,
quarreling on alternate days,
and loving back more…
just like the moon
that dies out in a fortnight,
and is a poet’s sacrifice in the next!

We shall always be there
wherever the nights are…
