THOUGHTS DEEP WITHIN
ODE TO PAT
BLEEDING LINES
ODE TO PAT
My heart feels heavy
My head feel like lead
Thoughts keep bouncing off
Back and forth back and forth
Worried to mourn
Fearful to miss
Maybe it will help
To look back and remember
Your cheeky smile
Your chubby cheeks
Your portly belly
Your bright naughty eyes
Your happy self
Fortified by the hard shiny metal in your garage
And the soft beautiful smile from Katy
I know now it is love I feel for you
Like I feel for the flower and the frog
Love that will remain forever and never die
SATI
BLEEDING LINES
ODE TO PAT
Stone floor and high walls
Sand is hot and shadows dark
Hawks draw cirles up above
Giggles from behind the veil
Tinkling anklets hide and seek
Henna leaves soft and tender
Crushed between the Mortar and Pestle
Red blood dripping down
From marital mandal to the pyre
Cruel flames send ashes high
So fleeting so fragile life is
To Sati Sati Sati
BLEEDING LINES
BLEEDING LINES
BLEEDING LINES
From my palms they seamlessly flow
Lines I cut sharp into stone
Too soon I come to rest
As dust on the sandstones
Will you sing my song
As you look up and walk
On stones that I cut cut cut.
