REASON TO LIVE MORE

REASON TO LIVE MORE

A Poem by Rafique Farooqi

Why you have left

your power to dream

as the  shadow follows your footsteps

i remember standing in the courtyard

looking at the cleft in the wall

i painted my figure on the wall

with the black of my own  ashes

i lost the count of time

and met the last dead man in the dream

he was still trying to have my garden

but  like the wise i broke my dream

whence my mindless masters

have sent me

now i am looking at my feet

and realizing

this is  me all weepy

with some reason to live more
