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 world is a lonely place

 Water dripping from air coolers,

A small puddle without rain.

The sweeper gathering plastic bottles,

Movement without wind.

The world is a lonely place.

People step on puddles,

Breaking the reflection of neon lights;

Some set to blink,

Others blinking to die.

The world is a lonely place.

A man sits at a table alone,

Looking at the pouring rain,

Pouring whisky into himself.

A woman sits at a table alone,

Looking at the man,

Pouring whisky into herself.

But the man

Was still looking at the rain.

There was something in the quietness,

Something that gave joy

For no reason;

Something that clears the mind

For no reason.

The man

Still looks at the rain.

Water dripping,

Water jumping to the table

Through the gap in the window.

The world is a lonely place.

But it is lonely for a reason.

It is lonely

To make us happy in being alone.

It is lonely

To give us time to socialize

With our soul,

With the water dripping from the coolers,

With the rain.

The world is a lonely place

For a reason.

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…
