In Search of Peace / Deepak Samchu


दिपक शम्चु

On this body

resides an effect of a black shadow

and manners of cruelty is filled,

and because of the lack of love

the heart is filled with fire from inside.

Smoke is coming out from my eyes,

by painting destruction on face

mustache of arrogance has grown above the lips

and, carrying wounds everywhere

a history of drought has stuck all over the body.

At this time

do not play music that touches my heart

it cannot sing a song of love,

do not fondle the cracked cheeks

it cannot take the taste of softness,

the lungs that is burning by swallowing fire

never breathe

but ejects flame of fire, yes fire.

I do not say that my body has no light,

either, I did not want to say

the BodhiBriksha has not got its shadow.

Here exist

a heart that can melt the soul

the tears that can sweep the fear away

and the breath that spreads tenderness.

Now, I have to grant lives by finding the lost pulses

please, do not try to break my concentration.

I am trying to make man by destroying man

and to assemble man by smashing man.
