Poessay: Rosary 14 - Snow Flakes
a lazily floating snow flake
glided past my window
a white nebulae in reach
waltzing poodle's ears
this sliver
did not descend the white carpet
just lazily floated from one end
of my nightmare to the other
a mushroom cloud
showering shivering silence
--invention of the wheel
to the proliferation
a downward spiral
misnomer for progress
a cotton snow flake
dabbed with attar
rolled into a pinch sized ball
and ensconced in helix
would not have bothered
if i could have maintained
my respectful distance --
no, not possible
at 35,000 feet
that pungent redolence
creating an everest lava-ache
another cotton snow flake
four of them really
size of moth balls
compressed
placed in nostrils and ears
a final closure
other pure white snow flakes
continue to fall on the road
and transform to slush
oh, snow flakes
nightmare
a'las'sub'h kal dabay qadmoun youN kaun chala aaya meray dil maiN?
bund dareechay, bar'f her soo', khunki, aur tapish oos ki baanhouN ki
taqaza e mehman nawazi say jo majboor honay lagay hum
'phir koi d'rao'na khaab dekha hay? aao aaghosh maiN aajao!'
progress
maalik ko zara awaaz daina bhai
zaroorat hay oos ko ghulamouN ki
hum jo sadaa khilaouN maiN taktay haiN
humaiN bhi ik maalik ka hay intizaar
lava-ache
um'r zayah kardaitay haiN lOg
muhabbat ki joostujoo maiN
itna pyar paya qismet say
kodak moment hay her lamha
youN hee hum maray jatay haiN!
closure
muskurahatouN ka bundh, aansoo'ouN kay sailab kO
ik aur Kodak moment maiN aisay piro daita hay
kay siskiyouN ka shOr o fughaaN, hasratouN ki jheel
pyasi dharti ka daimi khwaab e hasrat banta hay
slush
"aao, chalay aao"
"aao, chalay aao"
maiN pukarta raha
hal'q mera khushk hu'a
ak's munjamid raha
hay
taa'reef kay qaabil hay yeh hay
yeh hay bhee aur nahiN bhee hay
idhar hay aur oodhar bhee hay
gar na hota tO bhee hota
