You see him walking / Walking… not crawling yet / His head slightly bowed
Just You and Me
Poem by Tsoltim N Shakabpa: Just you and me and the starlit skies / Linked in silver chains and crowned with glory
Run, Run, The Ones Who Run
Poem by Tsoltim N Shakabpa: Run, Run, The Ones Who Run / Run from God’s Earth
Defeated, But Never Cried
Moon-like flowers, / in the majestic medicinal land of snow, / bubbles of joy now mounting up.
Lhasa Barkhor Song
I rose in the morning hoping the sun will shine, / The Barkhor filled with bright prospects
Karma, Ancestor, Grave
I became motionless, / When the shadow of a ghost appeared. / My heartbeat has slowed,
1000th Day in Drapchi Solitary Confinement
If you only drag me out / I’ll accept all your accusations / And sign the confession documents.
March Reflections
A dark fog / wrapped itself around Lhasa
The Depraved Era (1959-1969)
Life threatened / Separated / By the devils hand
Train from Beijing
The train arrives, a mammoth of shadow, / A dark and slow-moving train;
Untitled
I dream the / way my / people do always
In This Life I saw
a man / devoid of limps / lying on the ground
Forget Him Not
Forget him not / A little creature / Caged within his prison
Barkhor
Darkness descends / From the sky / Ere sunset
The Breath of Love
I draw the highway to heaven / beneath the shade of hell
I Pray
Poem by Tsoltim N Shakabpa: I cry, in sorrow, / For those who / Would give up the light
I Hold My Candle
Silent foreboding behind prison’s door / shadows of the willow scatter across your pillow
Bamboo Flute
When my bamboo flute’s / Sound was deep
Know Ye All
Poem by Tsoltim N Shakabpa: Lest no man knows better / Know ye all / That Tibet is a country
Short Ones
Around the natural tower, we travel / And we climb on the pillar of life.
