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…

Hmm

 My grandma sits in front of the TV.

But she doesn’t hear,

Doesn’t read,

Doesn’t understand.

She makes out everything through sight,

And she makes out everything wrong.

But I am responsible too.

She sees a villain with a gun

And asks if he's a cop.

I say “hmm” and shake my head.

She sees two girls kissing

And asks if one of them is a man in disguise.

I say “hmm" and shake my head.

She sees a car explode

And asks if it's a war.

I say “hmm" and shake my head.

Then the questions stop coming

As she closes her eyes

And her head falls back into the sofa.

I call her up

And take her to her room.

There is something beautiful about this;

She'll sit there again tomorrow and ask me questions.

I’ll say “hmm" and shake my head.

There is something beautiful about this;

Something beautiful

In seeing and not understanding;

Something beautiful

In saying “hmm" and shaking my head.

So we watch TV together

Everyday.

Enlightenment

 One day coldplay came on radio And lifted my roof. I could see the sky And faces I wanted to forget And flowers I could not smell in the clouds; Flashing lights, Gunshots, Dances with some woman I’very never met. Oh Coldplay! Oh Tchaikovsky! How do you know The pain of one man out of the hundreds of thousands. How do you know what I’d forgotten. How can you care more than all I’ve met. You have more life than most people Because you have a soul. And a soul in man is rarer than the scriptures say. And a soul in man is dead if it still exists anywhere. Oh Coldplay! Oh Tchaikovsky! How do you know The pain of one man out of the hundreds of thousands. One day coldplay came on radio And lifted my roof. But then it fell on my chest And crushed me to a pillow of tears.

The days

 The days float quietly Like a bubble on a cup of coffee, Going round and round With the entire ceiling reflected on in; A ceiling that’s cracked And lacking paint here and there As if covered by blisters That never seem to heal… Blisters inflicted By age and moss, That expand… With the paint falling off But by bit. One day a scratch of paint will fall into the cup And pop the bubble, Making the tea forget All that it saw of the ceiling… Making the tea forget That it itself exists…
