POEM 15
PASHTANI HODA
(An Instinctive Behavior)
Wind of autumn!
Hot dusty storm !
Well known you are...
plucking leaves
driving clouds...
sand mountains forming
The air dust filled
the markers topples
upon the body's grave
Wind of autumn!
Hot dusty storm!
Well known you are...
A child of courage
born from mother's milk
with patience abides...
I am not water's foam
nor the desert tent
at your power's mercy...
Wind of autumn!
Hot dusty storm!
Well known you are...
Blowing winds
can not destroy me
nor cease my desires...
Nor the candles flame
will it extinguish
Till that fateful morn...
When in that moment...
death shall make his call
and I will be no more.

POEM 16
ONLY ONE
Your name with mine
on walls appeared.
Like me and my shadow
striding together.
When I glance back
only single tracks
are tread upon the path
those of my own making.

POEM 17
THE VOICE
Small voice listen...
My eyes weary
from dreams torment
plague my sleep no longer
till the break of dawn.
Small voice speaks ...
Demands of life
free you from dream's snare
teach you humanity
Keep you on the path of truth.

POEM 18
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Eyes of the dead
lashes veiled...
tongues now silent
severed into...
People hanging
from branches broke...
House doors now shut
the city is closed...
Yet they are saying
liberty proclaimed...

POEM 19
IMMOBILIZATION
Are these just veins
pulsating with blood...
or feelings
Leaving
the heart's center
heading toward a world of pain?
Blind the eyes which see
Now comes the time for progress.
But heartless humanity
stands immobilized in this spot.

POEM 20
CAUSE OF INSPIRATION
How can I
from mind remove
these precious dreams
of my innocent love.
I keep sweet
thy beloved name
together written
in stones through out this world.
It is she...
the cause of my poetry ...
the inspiration for my life.

POEM 21
IT WAS YOU
It was you ...
The one...
Through the ages anxiously awaited
now makes my heart path clear.
You have always known me best
yet stayed removed from all
even me...
It was you ...
The one...
Whose name was to me a surprise
forever in my memory burned.
that possessed my dreams
and haunted my thoughts.
It was you ...
The One...
No one else could it be
Oh the truest of friends
just as you are
It was you.

POEM 22
HIDDEN SUN
In dreams ...
eyes Willing
to look upon
the green tattoo
The sun on thy head.
I have named you
with blind faith
my hearts desire.
This sun I seek
Remains hidden
by night's black hair.
Unfortunate my journey ...
Unending dream
Waiting
longing...
Just a single gust of wind
come blow thy blacken hair
and show the sun...
Now comes the true sun
and my eyes are open...
And that I greatly desired
One look upon that sun
will be forever hidden
in the clouds of my dreams.

POEM 23
WHITE HOUSES
Houses white as snow
built on labor's sweat,
and orphan's tears.
Their blood sucked dry
by greedy capitalist.
As history has written,
the hot sun will appear
coming near the earth,
then these houses
white as snow
will melt away.

POEM 24
LONG JOURNEY
Love...
Long exhausting
the journey.
Between us...
seems the distance
of two steps.
Our youth now taken...
Finally...
We reach each other
in old age.
