Poetry

Mists Of Time

Taking time off

whispering poems

in corners of soft

roads, paths transgressed

by love and, love making

the rains take a call

and harness the wind

to fresh deeds of openness

I take a few breaths and rummage

through some pages of past.

Calling, Poetry makes a hideous appearance

only when you want it. This town is ensconced

in poems of rushing streams and monoliths

that stand erect in man’s memories.

What do they mean?

A civilisation once, twice, upon a time?

when minstrels sang euphoric songs

now cast into weaving poetry, hills

and mists of time?
