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…

Walls

 Kids not allowed to draw on walls,

Women not allowed to express,

Men not allowed to love.

Because

The walls become dirty,

Expressions becomes awkward,

And love may end in hate.

We build walls around ourselves

And cry when no one can see us.

We build walls around ourselves

And forget to put windows for the light to fall in.

We build walls

For art,

For expression,

For love,

And complain these things are crap;

That they go nowhere, lead nowhere.

The child will not paint Picasso,

The woman does not know how to express,

The man does not know how to love

Fully.

But let the child draw meaningless lines,

And let the women express,

Let men love;

And they'll learn to

Draw well,

Express accurately,

Love fully.

All they need is our patience.

Second chances are never enough.

They should be given chances

Until they

Can draw well,

Express accurately,

Love fully.

They should be given chances

Until they break the walls

They built around themselves.

Can't death come quick?

 A flower fell off a bouquet, And someone stepped on it. And they all went about with their business. But I can’t help but stare at it; The act of hastening death. Everyone went about their business. But I can’t help but stare at it; The dewless petals, The red colour blackening with the creeping shadow of death, The stalk separated from the head Like with a guillotine. It might have been plucked from it's family, From the other flowers. But it's okay. They'll die as well. It's just that this flower will die faster. But in this world where everything happens in a rush, Can’t death do the same?

Footprints

 Is the beach devoid of footprints Or are there so many that they bury each other. Either way, it's the same. There is no path for anyone to follow. And no one can make a new path that lasts, Because one buries the other. Then some people try to surf; At least, Those lines in the water will last longer. Is the beach devoid of footprints Or are there so many that they bury each other. Either way, No one goes anywhere while being noticed.

This morning

The yellow light squeezes between buildings Like a gentle beast, Tickling the windows like petals on water. The yellow light squeezes between buildings And the noise wakes me up. I open the window; A yellow finger patting my head, Making me giggle like a child. There is smoke, There is noise, There are the cranes rotating about the horizon. But there is you as well, Yellow beast… There is you as well, Mighty beast. There is smoke there is noise, There is the smell of coal and tar. But there is you as well, Yellow beast… There is you as well, Mighty beast. And that’s all I need…
