Poetry: Of Maami (My Mother)
Everything deserted her.
We witnessed her girded
With beauty beyond description.
The sober morning and the piercing rays
Of noon
From their climaxes communed to her
The vainglorious empires of this world.
Evening took them away; we saw that too.
The luck of her fate
Had given her riches, which constrict frigidities
Like a magic spell which dazes
Fervor and proprietorship; and the bestowal of great mind,
Which rushes as to transform genuine agony into
Poetry and to beautiful sound and dazzling regalia;
And ardor; and in her veins the fight
For purpose, and the heaviness of eminence;
And the joy of flinging one's being in life's
Wandering rivers and mazes rages on
While the evening’s gently changes color.
Everything left her in lurch, except for one -
Warmhearted cordiality was at her side
Until her bitter end, beyond her fate
And downfall, in an almost celestial way.
Of Maami(my mother). what I earlier saw, time
Out of mind, was her smile;
Printed boldly upon my heart.
