A DREAM LED TO ANOTHER (SATIS SHROFF)

Bhaktapur: art by satisshroff A DREAM  LED TO ANOTHER (Satis Shroff) I was around twenty years old, My head full of dreams. I left the Himalayan foothills to win a dream: A dream to go to Europe, visit places I’d read about. The Bastille from Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities, Where I spent time recalling the French Revolution. My friend’s Parisienne sister shook her head and said: ‘Monsieur Satish, there are others ways of spending an afternoon in Paris.’ The smell of sea food at a French harbour, Such as the peasants of Normandy built. La Rochelle and the German bunkers in the Ile d’ Oleron. I peered at sea fogs from the mighty Atlantic, Watched the ‘last oozing, hours by hours, From a cider-press’ in the Vosges, as John Keats aptly put it. * * * In Blenhelm’s little tavern I saw murals of its famous son: Winston Leonhard Spencer Churchill. I stood in front of Churchill’s grave; Above his remains lay his mother. The words of James Shirley came to my mind: ‘Death lays his...

FREIBURG, CATMANDU & OTHER POEMS (Satis Shroff)

FREIBURG, CATMANDU & OTHER POEMS: FREIBURG AND CATMANDU (Satis Shroff) Freiburg: the finest spire in Christendom, Which bombs couldn't destroy In two Great Wars. Old men pulled carts with their belongings, Along the cobbled Kaiser-Joseph-Strasse. Women were taken to dances, By African American GIs. Children received chocolates. 'Hallo Fräulein!' did the rounds, In poverty-stricken, ramshackled Germany. The GIs returned years later to admire The splendour of cities they'd bombed. The Fräuleins were elderly ladies now, Who frequented posh cafes, operas and lectures. Catmandu:  the all-seeing-eyes Of the primordeal Buddha, Still welcomes visitors From around the globe. The hippies have long left This cannabis paradise of yore. Its hotels and trekking lodges offer Western food galore, And fast-climbs for dudes and nerds To Everest. The Gurkhas still die under foreign skies, For the Queen of England. The...
