Gopakumar Radhakrishnan
(India)
I Am Sorry My Brothers, Sisters and Gods…
I am really very sad,
Truly helpless to guide you
Or scribble new sermons of love, Peace,
Bliss and brotherhood
I am sorry…
These ugly wars have drained
My brain and blood fully
I live with a frozen heart, very dead
I have no new poetry within…
I have nothing to pray
As God or Godliness is missing
From you and me…
I am sorry my brothers, sisters and Gods…
The Migration Time
I understand,
It’s time for us to go
Your bustle and your eyes tell me
Our historic tales and the forecasts
Of an impending season and
The agonies of a faraway flight
It’s time to be in the winds again,
Play with its ever changing moods
Ah …once again
Let us make it from just wild to wilder
Taming the winds under our wings
It’s time to sing together
A heart’s promise
Before we take-off
To be back in this land soon
With our kids and siblings’
Clouds and the wind had listened
To this duet songs well before
‘When I fall, you chant my poetry
When you disappear, I will recite your poem,
And when we are no more
Let our loved ones take
These duet songs to their destiny’
