PASSER BY



She was just a passer by
You did not know her name shame
Neither did you know from where she came Nor where she was headed
It never bothered your gut when you took your gun and pointed it to her face

She was just a passer by
You did not know her struggles and her pain or the emptyness she was trying to sate
All the same you cocked the gun and without reomorse asked her to drop her purse

She was just a passer by
Did you even wondered who could be waiting at home or wherever she was going
Why he, she or it would be waiting and what it would mean if she never got home
What was it that was going on in your mind when you picked her bag and pulled the trigger anyway?

She was just a passer by
Nothing to you more than a passer by
It never crossed your mind that she could be a mother, a wife, a friend, or the doctor who could save you from your death bed on the day you are cught in the crossfire

She was just a passer by whom you blew like wind out of earth
A passer by who never lived to tell you her story
Sadly she became part of your story when you learnt she was your loves sister
The one who out of love you lost love for humanity
The one you shot to buy an engagement ring and food for your sweet heart's visiting sister

Was she still a passer by when her little son asked your love, ''When will mommy come home?'' In bearly audible words?
Was she a passer by when your love cried her heart out for her loved one?
Was she still jus a passer by When she told you that she had been shot on the street you are most feared around?
Was she still a passer by?

ALL LIFE TIMES

A million words would not sound you out You inspire this feeling that makes me want to shout Priceless I choose to write Sound my heart unequivocally a cross life and time That it may never be forgotten that I loved And deeply so How I chanced upon you I can't tell But it must have been written in the stars That you will be the healer of my scars That love I will find on a mountain so high That flying would never be easy But splendor that is to die for This is a little loco Somehow it feels like I need your permission to breathe You leave me breathless in a nice way But this breathless is terrifying when you are away Delicate noble one you smashed me, a monster who would not break In the heat of everythig and in the rain of love A zillion flames would not melt me What is hotter than your presence and cuteness What is colder than your absence and silence How would my heart not crack in such a switch What would forge me back if not the enchanting flames of your love  In all worlds I

I WILL UNDERSTAND

I have been through a lot untold Life's heat and cold I have made it to this old From whence I stand So I understand That it is not the making of any hand That you do not and may never understand  me. As much as l look, you I  do not and may never see Like the depth of the sea Blue and blinding deep We remain mysterious like sleep I understand if you never understand Even if the waters wash the story I keep writing to you on time's sand Circumlocuting  in a million ways Verbal monotony becoming the songs of my days I still will understand if you never understand

OVERSTAYED VISIT

You don't need me So I thank you for the good you have done I say it in silence That way you will not sense the silent good bye It hurts me that our business in your face is done But I will remember we were brothers I will pray for you For my prayer is that you fly high and steady in the strong winds I will not forget that you helped me And the much I am or will be will acknowledge you But tonight I will pack what I can And leave your house brother Not groaning For all of us are guests in each others lives In my case I must have overstayed my visit I hope love never grows old I will find peace when it thrives again But now It is obviously used.
