AGES AFTER

They did return
But ages after-
The Moon was seen
But ages after,
Time does not stop
Their departure after
Returning home
I grow tired,
Who meets whom?
This World after?
I had met them
Only ages after.
Pain of separation
Expressed
Can no longer be hidden
Did I ever think?
What would happen?
After their departure.
Darkness would spread
Brightness after-
Hours of loneliness,
Trysts after
A peace kept swelling within me
Their departure after.

MAN OF TODAY

Man is bent
Not with humility
With hunger.
Man is tired
Not with work-
With life.
Man is defeated
Not by the world
By himself.
Bent, tired, defeated
Dumbled with many sorrows
Man today
In the hope of tomorrow
Carries the burden of existence
On roads unknown
Towards oblivion.
