Representing India and aaduna for National Poetry Month
For our closing celebration
of National Poetry Month, aaduna is pleased to share the opening stanza of Kamaruzzaman’s poem,
“If You Ever Die,
In An Invisible Gondola”
If you ever die
If you ever die from me - die of death
Looking at my longing eyes
In guise of a mystic veil, not unveiled
Dead drop at the twilight hours
White longish fangs, whitish eyes
Of the piercing moments
Will unfurl its wings of fire
Setting sail in an invisible gondola
At long last to carry you home
To the isle of your birth, somehow
Kamaruzzaman's poetry will be presented in the spring 2015 issue of aaduna
slated for launch shortly.If you ever die from me - die of death
Looking at my longing eyes
In guise of a mystic veil, not unveiled
Dead drop at the twilight hours
White longish fangs, whitish eyes
Of the piercing moments
Will unfurl its wings of fire
Setting sail in an invisible gondola
At long last to carry you home
To the isle of your birth, somehow
Help us build community...
