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…

Depression

 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?

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.

Killing loneliness

 I live alone And yet I feel a tingle now and then, As if the tiger watches through the bush outside. I live alone And yet I hear voices coming from The pipelines, The breathing curtains, The bug kissing the bulb That gets pushed away every time. I live alone And hear and see and smell what they don’t. Sometimes The loneliness eats you up And you won’t realise that the voices you hear I the crunching of that mighty jaw That chews you Slowly And slowly, Until you're eaten fully. And no one will know. Become a Patron!

Magic and logic

 A white horse with wings Can come out of the ocean, Cats afraid of water Can develop a taste for fish, Bats dying on power lines  Still roam around at night. Logic is not enough in this world. Logic is not enough When a rhinoceros chases you through the Savannah. Nature steps in And tells you to run for your life. It doesn’t tell you to wait And make a trap in the sand. Maybe The weird is just what has not become logic yet. But Should we make it logic? Should we really ooze out the magic in everything? We have become Too smart. We have become Too selfish. We have become  Too organised, Too fixed our ways. And we don’t see the magic in anything.
