Daniel Laari Jacob Poems

The jungle is set ablaze
And all the animals are grieving inside flames.
I can't believe this is the jungle
You promised to protect,
...

I grew from homes where fishes
Dwell in a pool of sand.
I grew from homes where trees
Cry for shades.
...

Dawn comes to give rest to dusk,
Down the memory lane laid dreams still masked.

When I crane my neck and gaze my eyes into skies
...

Dear Mary,
I am sorry
For the tarry,
But it isn't to hurry,
...

Lost in the dark woods,
I stood shivering like pup.
My hope perished there.
With all I desired brought cold,
...

THE NOON WHIRLWIND

The whirlwind which whorls from far, east
Sweeps swiftly the ground, bare,
...

Bundles of glowing languid fame
keep growing day by day.
The marks of pains clasp the wrists, numb,
And the shelf glare beams of emptiness.
...

...... ever never
mere man with sere blood
wake your lake-mind dream
from the throne of time
...
