John Dixon From Clitheroe My Best Friend RIP



he lived life to the hilt.. a home in heaven he built ..he lived a life without guilt ..his love on lesser mortals like me he spilt

in his values his friendships there never was a tilt ..his memories will never wilt .. moments on the banks of destiny held by silt ....poetically i tried to quilt..


To Maxine Dixon..May God give you and Wayne the Strength to Bear this Irreparable Loss

Laut Ke Aaa...Kambakht Khudkushi Karne Ki Kya Zaroorat Thi

Ghar Ghar Ki Kahani

outside
juhu bus stop
they stay
they have
given away
their gas
connection
money
does not
grow on
trees they
say so
on a coal sigdi
food cooked
served on a tray
their children
study in a
municipal school
st joseph was
too far away
water they store
when it rains
heavily as
somebody
stole their
water meter
ran away
for rs 99
they got
a pancard
now waiting
for the unique
card to come
their way
they vote
for congress
election
after election
thanking
the party
for letting
them live
with dignity
a house
is a home
in every way
on the streets
gully cricket
the children play
jo jeeta woh
sikandar
ghar ghar
ki kahani
khoon
pasina
dil se

Be Nice To People on Your Way Up You Always Meet Them On Your Way Down

Woh Jo Darwaza Ke Peeche Rehti Hain

bahar diya jalta hai
ag si lagi rehti hai
unki khamoshi
unki tarah
deewaron se
bhi kuch nahi
kehti hai
chup chap
dil ka dukh
zulm aur sitam
sehti hain
woh jo darwaze
ke peche
rehti hain
mujhe
pehchane se
inkar karti hain
kahin phir se
pyar na ho jaye
woh darti hain
main ek zinda lash
main unko ab
bhi chahta hoon
woh ek dusre shayar
ki kabar
par fatiya padti hain
uski yad ko
woh zinda rakhti hain
uski ruh jo khamakhan
meri ruh main
bhatakti hai
