the reflection of fire
on the coldest of nights;
the cry of the empty rice bowl.
the violin played in an empty room.
sunlight glaring off fresh fallen snow.
the axe and the boots
standing alone in a corner…
the ticket takers through a glass window….
oil pumping into the mouths
of starving children….
the exploding bombs, bayonets
draped in bright colored flags.
the moment you give,
as if by accident;
and then steal away,
wrapped tight in your cocoon!

That may haunt a life,
Forever and a day,
Dreams that follow,
And never go away,
Praying to become Alive,
Maybe, Someday.

And there they stay.
They’re not real,
They’re fiction’s prey,
One cannot live from Illusions
Unfortunately,
Even if its hard, poetically
To admit,
And even if is so painfully
Difficult
For a poet, to say.
