Loud Rain

The rain is loud now, As if a giant feet arises from the clouds To step on the river under the bridge of my heart And disturb it in such a way That the sails of ships bend, And the water touches the bridge from below, Tickling it to sorrow… The rain is loud now, But actually, it has always been like this. You were there once, And I never felt it. But now, All there is Is this sorrow That tickles me from inside, As if it wants me to laugh, Yet doesn’t let me At the same time…

Depressed

 There is a smell in my room

Which I notice only after returning to it

After some time.

It might be

Those unwashed clothes,

Piss on the tiles,

A dead rat.

But why do I care?

We all do things to show others.

We clean our rooms

To show others it doesn’t smell.

But who will come into my room

Except me?

And the smell has been there

For a long time-

So long, that it might not be

Unwashed clothes,

Piss on the tiles,

A dead rat.

It might be me,

Rotting away within myself.

Not bathing the body,

Not wearing perfume.

Not bathing the soul,

Not searching if I even have a soul,

If I can still love,

If I can still look at the willows

As a beautiful creation,

Rather than a poor thing made to die,

Like me,

Like all of us.

Can I still look at a child

And smile?

Can I still look at a kitten near the rubbish bin

And ache?

Can I still look at someone

And make my soul believe

That they too have problems?

Can I feel anything?

Anything

Again?

Anything other than

This stink around me,

Coming from me.

Can I feel

Anything else

At all?

Can't death come quick?

 A flower fell off a bouquet, And someone stepped on it. And they all went about with their business. But I can’t help but stare at it; The act of hastening death. Everyone went about their business. But I can’t help but stare at it; The dewless petals, The red colour blackening with the creeping shadow of death, The stalk separated from the head Like with a guillotine. It might have been plucked from it's family, From the other flowers. But it's okay. They'll die as well. It's just that this flower will die faster. But in this world where everything happens in a rush, Can’t death do the same?

Footprints

 Is the beach devoid of footprints Or are there so many that they bury each other. Either way, it's the same. There is no path for anyone to follow. And no one can make a new path that lasts, Because one buries the other. Then some people try to surf; At least, Those lines in the water will last longer. Is the beach devoid of footprints Or are there so many that they bury each other. Either way, No one goes anywhere while being noticed.

This morning

The yellow light squeezes between buildings Like a gentle beast, Tickling the windows like petals on water. The yellow light squeezes between buildings And the noise wakes me up. I open the window; A yellow finger patting my head, Making me giggle like a child. There is smoke, There is noise, There are the cranes rotating about the horizon. But there is you as well, Yellow beast… There is you as well, Mighty beast. There is smoke there is noise, There is the smell of coal and tar. But there is you as well, Yellow beast… There is you as well, Mighty beast. And that’s all I need…
