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…

The best that could happen to a man

 A girl telling you she loves you;

It is a rare thing that happened to me.

I thought I was a dam,

A rock,

A ship with iron sails.

But she dropped her anchor on my chest

And I realized

I was made of sand.

I realized

This island she has come to

Needs her

To clear the vines in the forest,

To clear dead shells from the shore.

And she needs the island.

But the ship is still anchored on my shore.

Will she

Have the courage to push it

To the mercy of the wind and sea?

Will she

Have the courage to say

“I'm staying here.

I want to go nowhere.”?

She has to do it;

She has to say it,

To stay in my heart

And clear the vines in it's forest

And to clear dead shells off my shore.

I need her

Like the sand needs to sun to heat up,

Like the gulls need the sea to catch food.

I need you

To stay.

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…
