Forty Four Poems
By Ajay Singh Yadav

Give me a lonely Road

Give me a lonely raod
Where I can walk alone
And hear the wind singing
‘her sing-song monotone

I want to walk alone
Along the forest track
Which fades out round a bend
I don’t want no one on my back

I want an open road before me
As far eyes can see.
And open road behind
Sans aucune company.
