Shimbo Pastory This poem was published by Kalahari Review on 24th August, 2021 Mh! The irony of joysHorse riders rest on their hoppingIn sunny days and cloudy nights.Resting is the man within,Heedless the tumults,The irony of joys. Oh! The irony of joysTo lowly menVeils of light wake and die in their sleepBut wealthy workmen,Float amidst fears and fatigue,The irony of joys. Well, the irony of joysRest is a string of healthOne of the choral fivesLovely for the guitar of life,Jubilant its song, of wellness,Wholeness! This irony of joys.

Shimbo Pastory This poem was published in the U-Rights Magazine, Issue 2, April 2020 We travel far in the spaces and we return to timeWe read the infinite skies and draw maps over roadsWe may touch hearts, or hit, or hurt, or runEyes peek atop the left wrist in recurrent bewildermentThe haste is pressing, to pick to the volatile moods of fate The wrist covers the eyes to liven frightened blinksPresuming that time’s distressing marathon will soon ease. Time takes us places and brings us back homeWe are never freed from the chains we madeThe hurt over the wounds we…
