A Poets Vision Incomplete

A Poets Vision Incomplete, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

as she sat silently
on her seat
i could hear
her palpitating
heart beat
the movement
of the bus
kissing
the trinkets
on her feet
outstretching
her soul
a thought
of a poets vision
incomplete
on the crossroads
of life
on another bus
we did meet
i shot
her innocence
cute and sweet
ravishing
her beauty
a spectral light
her fate line
my mound
of Venus
my love seat
embellished
words
of passion
placed at
her dainty feet
what we want
we dont get
however hard
we try or cheat
soggy moist
chapters
of love
stolen moments
we cant delete
from surat
to mumbai
a kindred spirit
aligned
to a back seat
on my body
i could feel
her body heat
the mind of man
his struggling
imagination
coupled with her
sensuality
his wingless soul
his bedroom suite

Once the bus reached Surat Bus Depot , the night mare begins , there is no connecting to Mumbai from the dept the buses leave at 8 pm and I had reached Surat at 2 pm.

Enter the Bhaiyya migrant touts who con fleece the devotees left right and center , they are ricksha drivers who will take you a distance of 12 km they say and put you in a Mumbai for rs 400 you have to give them 150 for the ricksha ride.

I was lucky the guy did not charged me for the ricksha ride but would take Rs 350 to put me in a a car sharing.

I agreed but on reaching the highway and waiting for about an hour there was no car he charged me Rs 250 and put me on a bus to Thana.

The bus belonged to a private company , they pay the driver 100 and pocket the Rs 150 as net profit.

And I met guys in the new bus who were badly conned a couple they had paid Rs 1500.. to reach Mumbai but they had an emergency and were not complaining.

This is the corruption level in Surat by these touts towards the devotees of Khwaja Gharib Nawaz. on entering the bus depot at Surat..for buses arriving from Ajmer .

one is called hope
the other harmony
on natures sweet carpet
both are free
walking together
from here to eternity
children
of the same
human family
sharing love warmth
peace under
the shade
of a banyan tree

of peace
