Some Poems By Rajan Khosa

BOUNCE OF YOUR HAIR

The bounce of your hair
The colour of your lips
The swirl of your skirt
I have seen it all.
Tell me…
When did we become?
From lovers to friends?

As I moved away
You did not complain
When you took a flight
I stopped at my door.
Tell me…
When did we become?
From lovers to friends?

All my wishes
Each petal you picked
Each dewdrop you kissed
Each blade of grass you awakened
Nothing you left undone
Tell me my friend
When did we become?
From lovers to friends?

Are there roads that go nowhere?
Are there cars without wheels?
Are there birds without wings?
Are there?

 

GOD ASKS MAN

How things ripen in you
                      how do you know?
You listen
                      Not to your heart
                      Only to your reason
How things ripen in you
                      how do you know?
O my darling
                      You faithless one.

Years pass away
                      under your gaze.
All you judge
                      Is what’s not done.
Each encounter
                      Your pride rises to protect
O my darling
                      You faithless one.

 

GOD ASSURES MAN

I am your destiny
I am your fear
I have unleashed
A hundred million angels
                      Just look at the sky
                      In your praise they wing
O my darling
                      you faithless one

I sent you rich
I sent you poor
                      Why you turn to tears
Reality
                      A deck of mirrors
                      Why not leap in joy?
O my darling
                      you faithless one

How things ripen in you
                      how do you know?
You listen
                      Not to your heart
                      Only to your reason

How things ripen in you
                      how do you know?
O my darling
                      You faithless one.

 

GOD KNOCKS AT YOUR DOOR

You build walls of hatred and anger
You feed it with pride and guilt
Tell me my friend
Have you not heard Me
Knocking at your door

Every encounter you wish to win
Family, friend or foe, you are always right
Hear Me, hear Me
Hear the good sense
Knocking at your door

You make promises
White Red and Blue
How will you keep them?
When you break the ones with yourself?

Tell me my friend
When you come
How will I hear you
Knocking at My door?

 

GOD TALKS

How much money will you make?
For what my friend?
All you need is
Some dal and rice
All you need is
A cover from the rain

When emptiness shall cut your heart.
When deserts will scream.
You shall run to Me.
To the fountains of fresh waters flowing incessantly
In its depth you shall swim
And I will smile.

 

TRUST

Trust, that is what I wish to taste
Trust, that is what I wish to give
So many women came and went
Their aroma gently lost to distrust

My own self, hardly do I know its contours
My own desires, hardly do I understand its yearnings
Love is larger than all
To Love I surrender

When a fleeting light of joy alights on your face.
I know it is Trust that gives this light.
My own self, I wish to surrender
My own desires, I wish to sacrifice.

 

CHOOSE MONOGAMY

Choose monogamy
From left to right
Right to left
From centre to out
Out to centre

I am happy to die
Each time
To Your Immense love

 

INSIDE ME

Inside me
There is so much darkness and so many fears
But why bring light to these
They will remain, like I will
Until the day I die

 

ON THE RUN

Find a moment of quiet because that is you
So what if everyone seems to be on the run
They think world is a ramp with shutterbugs
Believe me, they are mistaken

 

POT MAKER

Let these kisses not smother you
But give you wings, my friend.
Let this touch not ground you
But give you wings, my friend

Why do you compare, who kisses how?
Even a pot maker
Beats the clay
From inside and out.

Let this touch earth you my friend,
So you know how to fend for yourself.

 

SIT UP

Sit up
Your life is a performance
Wake up, morning till eve
Magic missiles are shooting in the sky
