Back Home


Take me back home
Before the dawn
Before the stars collapse
And I grow old

Take me back to the yards
And the empty gardens of the sky
Before the sun shines

Take me back to the lap of freedom
And the nest of what was
Before the wind comes and blows the memories away in the sea of time

Take me back to the faces I know
Before the tears close the lights of my eyes and fall

I am not afraid of the time
I am afraid of the rhyme,
that Plays and fades
And I lose my smile

Take me back home before I die.

Tears


Tears, on empty papers
Soon they get dry and disappear
Like the unspoken novels
Narrated by the time
And like the shadows of darkness
they are there but real they are not
Soon after we get accustomed to departure and pain , we disappear.
