Ahem, Lets Make Believe
As such, after much thought, I decided to showcase few poems of my friend, literary mentor and prolifically Creative soul Max Babi, who gave his kind consent.
This poem has the potential to rekindle the spirit of auguries of innocence, the sense of wonder, the faith that some one is there to make our lives beautiful. one has to give, in order the experience this beauty.
Ahem, Lets Make Believe…
Lets make believe.
You be the lost princess
lolling on a deserted beach
I’ll be a wayward angel,
fallen but upright.
I’ll name the stars for you
I’ll make the coy breeze
whisper warm lullabyes in your ears
I’ll turn the droll sand into gold dust
I’ll make the sunset
soft for your tired eyes
I’ll bid the crazy moon
to cast its ageless spell
I’ll order the ocean
to quieten its troubled rumbles
and obediently wash your feet….
When you’re in a trance
with my words drumming
hypnotic rhythms,
I’ll drink in the whole scene
and fly away like a knowing blackbird
strangely fulfilled.

Dear Lao Aju
It was a beauitufl poem and it will be a beauitful poem. The last two lines still have this resonating mystery clouded around them.
Why, How,How come and where it comes from is truly surreal genius of the poet.

Lovely poem. More then what we would want to have our loved one do for us, something that all of us wish we did for our loved one. The art of loving stems from an inner desire to give more then to receive, silently, without making any noise of what one did.
Now that we believe … lets practice.
