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…

Distance

 What has happened to us?

You stand close,

And yet I shout as if you can’t hear me.

Maybe you can't

And so can't I.

What has happened to us?

Two people living together,

Feeling nothing.

Why is it that there are too many thorns,

And flowers choose to grow beneath it all,

Only to die

Slowly?

Why is it that kids always step on puddles,

And adults only step on puddles

When they're alone?

Why is there so much

Blood,

Broken windshields,

Torn posters

No longer recognizable?

Why do we try so hard?

Why do we shout so hard

To say something to the person close by?

Why do we live together,

Yet not feel each other's presence?

Why do we tolerate people who are different?

Why can’t we celebrate them?

Everyone tells us to live.

But to do so,

These questions must be answered.

Everyone tells us to live;

But existing is hard enough.

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…
