Life’s insanity

Insane I cried
Inside my head
There's hunger that's unsatisfied

Dishonesty, impurity
My survival's insanity

My cool is gone
Where is it gone?
Seeking solace
And finding none

It's time I make my choices right
I need to keep my mental fight

Making use of kindness
Honesty and politeness
That's what people love to do
Insanity of life's true

Red cheeks and roses

First revelation
The first expression
First realisation
Of beauty and the grace

Silky long black hair
Unleash all my pains
Glazes in those eyes
Bathe me with those tears

Smiles on those lips are
Like millions kisses to me
Shyness and red cheeks are
Like red roses to me

So keep smiling, will you?
And keep feeling shy
Red cheeks and roses
Kisses all are mine

Heart to Heart

Sleepless nights
Left and right
Eyes wide opened
Darkness' might

Lying on the floor
One man longs for sight
Sight of Beloved
Voice of Beloved

Imprisoned by darkness
The woman lies awake
Wishing to break apart
The long and endless wait

The man's rambling voices
The woman's perceptions
One Beloved sends it
Another senses it

The night has told its story
The two hearts' been connected
Heart to heart the message flows
Less and less the distance grows

Not too far apart

Conversation
An hour or two
Communication
Binding me and you

Silence
Yet voices heard
Exchanged are smiles and thoughts

Closeness just inches apart
As can be touched
Pixilated appearance
Giving hope and more trust

Void stands between
Two longing hearts
It's a distance long enough
But it'still not too far apart

Solitude my friend

Sitting alone with solitude
Contemplating my thoughts
I disappeared into the silence
With no desire for mortal friendships

Silence surrounding me
My thoughts challenging my being
Posing me with questions
Of existence and life

Solitude my friend, guiding me through
The process of knowing the unknown
No answers revealed
Yet the answers known

Knowing me, knowing you

Do you think I'd lie to you?
To the person I'm trying to be one with
Do you think I can't be trusted?
Me, who wants to be accepted through trust

If I lied to you
You would not see me as who I am
If I lied to you
You would know me as a better person

I despise pretense for you
I relinquish charade for you
I reveal myself to you
The poor me, the mundane me

Do I get gifts for being truthful?
Thank you for the roses
Do I get roses only for my poems?
I stand before you, unable to do much but love
Will you love me if I can only love you?
Will you love me for who I am?
Will I love you for who you are?

What is greatness?

My guide

Rain outside my windows
Grass wet and clean
Angel, fall from the heavens
Soak me, wash me clean

Beach fishing

Children fishing near the waves. Their father fishing on the rocks. Me capturing this beautiful family event.

Steps

Steps on the rocks
I experience hardness
Steps on the sand
I experience softness
Coexistence of two extremes
Living like yin and yang

Walking with the waves

Bus ride to work

Walk

Don’t give me freedom from love

Walking side by side
Slight knock of hands
Lead to a sensual caress
Fingers entangled and formed locks of love

Don't unlock this twisted chain
Let it twist, let it turn
The beauty is in being twisted
The relief is in not being free

Why is there a need for freedom
That sets you free from love?
Why is there a need to unlock the chains
That undoes the bonds?

Don't give me the key to freedom
Let me remain entangled in love
Keep me in the dungeon of light
Let my soul be one with yours

Define love…

Outer beauty is an appetizer, inner beauty is the main course.

One

The wind asked the river,
"Do you want to merge with the sea?"
The river replied, "I am the sea itself and the sea is me"

The wind asked the waves,
"Do you want to caress the stones on the seashore?"
The waves replied, "My fierce tenderness is akin to the rigid brittleness of the stones"

The wind asked the stones,
"Do you want to be washed by the waves?"
The stones replied, "The thunderous sounds of the waves wash us anew"

The wind asked the flowers in the garden,
"Do you want to befriend the bees?"
The flowers replied, "The kisses of the bees constantly revive our lives"

The wind asked the lovers in the park,
"Do you want to be together forever?"
The lovers replied, "Who am I and who is she, where am I and where is she?"

Gone

You are gone suddenly
Sudden Sudden Death
Blackness Darkness prevails
Heart's fire resides
Shiny lustre faded

Sweet smile
Devilish Impish
Nocturnal desires
Snatched away

Left disabled
Blind and naked
What's in a name
Able and unable

Destruction
Taken for granted
Thrown at me
A sweet sorrow

Perceptions fading
Untamed molecules
Running wild, bouncing free
Invisible Blank
Total Darkness

NOW

Past is gone.

Future is yet to come.

Now is just-gone-and-is-about-to-come.
