Words
Scanty confabs on love
Like the memoir of eagle and dove
For bipeds are a proof
Let's not take this as a spoof.
And the golden eagle of the cyan skies
Whom you could not observe with thy naked eyes
Fell in love with a brown dove
Whom he saw from the skies above.
un amore benedetto santa
un amore così bella
They migrated from France, Paris
And dwelled in the city of love, Venice.

Vackra Drömmar
Hail to the Swedish northern light
For making the darkest nights bright.
But hail to your eyes of wonder
That kills the darkness like a thunder.
Your hands the inclement does melt
Warms as the first days we met.
Let's draw on the heart of sky
Two wings, then with our dreams fly.
You'll be the comet I chase
After 70 years I again see your face.
Your face, your hands gleam
Like always, my angel, Fahim.
But you are the shooting star
You're a dream, near or far.
Break the chains that fasten my feet,
I want to dream , the chains I can't defeat!
You be my comet and my holy dove
Let me dream and see you above.
What chains us is the mechanized life
That rejects the beauty of the shepherd's fife.
But let's hail that Swedish northern light
Let's break the chains just for to-night.

United at the Heart
Bright stars are dead
If the night dies and
The red roses will grow
On the simple plain soil.
No one goes to heaven
For being white or black,
The essence is the same
We all walk on the same track.
We are religious but forgot
The true religion of God!
To love and let being loved
Remember, we are united at heart.
The beauty lies in difference
And the difference makes the world,
Yesterday is different, tomorrow unknown
We are given the same soul but stay alone.
We all are members of a whole
Though we ignored the soul
But remember at heart
We unite and can't depart.

To The Future Kids
To the future kids I write,
That years ago in a fight,
We were forced to kill,
I don't know the reason, still…
To the future kids,
Sorry for our deeds,
We didn't want to kill,
Future kids, we know how you feel.
I write this for you to know,
Beggar becomes king, king descends below,
So nothing's stable
History maybe's a fable.
But what we say is the truth,
We were impacted by their abuse,
I mean apartheid,
So savage and
