Besotted
From the market I bought
a huge pile of happiness rather than sadness
for you
Life
I did not know about
your intimacy with sadness
If sadness was so dear to your heart
never would I have sought happiness
What sadness are you so besotted with
Life
You had no compulsion to keep
happiness away
Why do you need sorrows
if sorrows are not deeply hurt
by the plight of happiness
If happiness is slighted by you
your beloved sadness will lose all bliss
Knowing full well
why have you buddied up
with sadness
that I couldn’t make out
Life

Fire
From a pair of eyeballs
emerged those two flints
whose friction caused the primal fire
Sadly the fire
burns itself first
Gladly
unlike the fire
the ash has no regret

Nomadic Soul
It wants to bolt away
I’ve just persuaded it to stay in
Only a few days ago
I gave up the nomadic life
Hardly for a couple of days
I’ve turned homebody
After hunger I’ve feasted now
Home is the main enemy of a nomad
