On my way

There is a place from where you could fall but you end up rising and that place from where you can only see the top. You are blind.

You are on your way

walking towards yourself

You are on your way

disturbing your vision, with your movement

You are on your way

with an empty idea

a brand new hope

You are on your way with your

half dreamlike plans

Let the sun wash you today

make you a man

Let your path blur your intention

make you a man

Let this be your destination

where you end.

Meditations

Meditations slipped in his actions

as he moved magnificently through the chaos

He did not need to close his eyes 

to see any darkness

His heart was still.

Life went past him

like a gust of wind

He soaked in, the little

that he could keep

He smiled

His eyes glittered, always

He was lying on the floor of the world

He could breathe

I know him

by face, by aura

by resonance

I know him through a secret connection

Walls of ignorance

Far away sounds

fall on the walls of ignorance.

None of us understand;

The voice continues

confusing melancholy with secrecy

I want you to hear what I hear

I want you to make of this what I do

I think these sounds are old

falling on bricks which do not absorb

Come, let's travel to the other side of this wall

welcome, the confusion

We can play our parts, you be the sadness

I can be the mystery.

The famous noise

As the brittle walls of confinement

got stronger

As the world became a tad smaller

everyday

She crawled out of her melody

into the famous noise

She traveled

Gazed out of many outlets

Indeed she was lovely

specially when she had music flying

in and out of her

Days

Beginnings 

so many faces

so many stories narrated

people cracking, letting out their sounds

contributing to the famous noise of the outside

(she is now hearing)

Sweet Thursday

The last sweet Thursday has arrived and I hope that it holds all that I have been looking for; Suzy - unsure, Doc - aloof, Fauna - beaten, Mack - dressed and Hazel as the president.

How many lives will  be lived
this Thursday
and how many paper butterflies will fly
how many strangers will smile at me
and how many pages will stay unread

On sweet Thursday,
my friends, have dinner with me
On sweet Thursday,
let the clocks be happy
On sweet Thursday,
bring me something orange
On sweet Thursday,
we will paint an autumn leaf

I shall give in tomorrow
but let me play
today is so temporary

A few steps above

As I sit to be surrounded by my favorite sound

I hear a cry

long, disturbed and sharp

coming my way

I shut the door

and settle to enjoy my music.

When I close my eyes

and prepare to listen

I see the face of a child

brown, beautiful and sad

He is crying

I listen to this sound closely

The Chase

I look abnormally at my footsteps

and see how close I am 

to where I begun

In miles, its many

in direction, its none

in revelation, its grand

in gain, nothing

I continue, to chase

hop choices, to find order

I pass

landscapes, stories, men, love, skies

I invariably find

an alluring destination

This is chase

it is better than ignorance

This is chase

much poor than harmony
