Searching Peace
 
Starring at the sky of gloomy night
To an edge scanned by his piercing eyes,
The gray haired human,
Grasping his foot hold of his earth
Quaked by the war,
Occupies in his optimum endeavor
To feel sensory experience of
The still of a shining star
That plunged to his planet
By delving with his walking stick
Into numerous groups of the shining stars
Shattered in the sky.
 
The gray-haired human so severely shivers
With fear of not being unaware of
His spirit of tenacious belief
To experience his consciousness of
A divine breath of serene living
In the cool and calm atmosphere
Condensed by still of the shining star and
Poured by the greenery of Nature.
 
Every once in a while
The gray haired human
Takes his courageous stand
Grasping his foot rigid hold
Rigorously in his earth
To be severely secured
Not to tumble over his planet
By the sudden hit tremor.
 
No fatigued spirit he has
Beyond his limitless, vigorous efforts,
Truly contented he is
And sturdy belief he has.
The still of the shining star
Drops truly in his planet
And fortifies a plethora of greens
To his planet, where he deeply breathes.
 
 
 
A Sacrificial Heart
 
Rachel!
Your inner beauty can
Never hide in a bushel
By those beholding eyes,
Who recognize your pretty devoted soul
Shattered on the skin of this earth
By the speedy motion
Of an Israeli army bulldozer
That runs mercilessly over
Your young and courageous hearts
As a stout and strong human shield
To total destruction of humane human
And to tyranny of the ferocious tyrant
In the city of Rafah.
 
Rachel!
Not only Rafah
Even the burning sands of the sands
Shed stream of tears.
Rafah fascinates the reality
Of your blossoming beauteous mind
And moves her hands caressing
Your golden long hairs
That spread over pale colored earth
Washed by your bloody bloods.
 
Rachel!
You’ve mingled your hearts
With the hearts of the Rafah
Who shares your inner feeling
Deeply in the depths of your soul
And hides unuttered agony within its soul
 
Rachel! Your mind’s so nice and soft
But so strong and stout
Nudges a deepest love to humane human
And an everlasting peace to humanity.
 
Shattered rose petals,
Withered to deep red
In the sands of the sands,
Touch the earth beneath your natured body
And feel the touch that stilled the quiet sea.
 
Rhythms amidst the sea
Feel the waves
Whispering against your skin
Agglutinated to the pale earth
And fade out to all eternity
To save Rafah in total turmoil.
 
To bow my head to you, Rachel,
The only white rose of the Sands,
You moved up to the distant, bluish sky
Twinkling as a brilliant star for ever and
Beholding the only peace for all eternity,
In the green planet far beneath..
  
Rachel Corrie, 23, of Washington DC, and a US peace activist, was crushed 
to death by an Israeli army bulldozer, which ran over her in the town of 
Rafah in the SouthernGaza strip, while she and other activists tried to 
prevent the destruction of Palestinian homes.
 
 
 
My Tranquil Dream
 
When I grasp hold of the deep sleep
And sink soundly in the ocean of peace
With no sense on my body and
Sensibility in my mind,
My whole body is then clasped to death
As the opened cage
 From where my sweet dream
Exits out and enters in
As it likes
At any time it prefers
Roaming free-minded
In the blues of the sky,
In the fragrance of the bloom,
In the greenery of the Nature,
In the folk tales
Foretold by my grand mother,
And in the fairy tales
Fore written by my grand father.
 
It even conjures up a magic flying car and
Travels with Harry Potter
In the Hogwarts Express
Speeding over a magnificent viaduct.
 
After roaming around the planet,
My dreams come back again
To the open cage,
Which is then securely locked
Barring its way to enter in and exit out.
 
I wake up then from my deep sleep
And occupy in my bed stiffly yawned
Refreshing in my mind the sweet dreams
That I’ve forgotten and forlorn
My deeply rooted sleep

Still annoys me.
