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…

A poem to make you smile

 The world isn’t a happy place,

But neither is it sad.

Life throws apples at us;

We can run,

Get hit,

Or catch them to take a bite.

There is no love or hate;

There are just the apples

And the heavy stones.

There is no love or hate;

There is only what we do

With what comes our way.

And what comes our way

Has no purpose;

It's aim isn’t you.

It hits the sunlight,

The butterflies,

Silent heroes

And loud fools.

It hits what stands in the way.

The world isn’t a happy place,

But neither is it sad.

The wind that does not rest keeps the child's kite dancing;

The boy smiles and the wind smiles back.

The sun that burns away makes the world smile,

And the sun smiles back.

There is a blur in sadness;

A character in the hieroglyphics we cannot understand.

There is a blur in sadness

That makes one understand oneself.

And when one understands oneself long enough,

One laughs at life.

And the laughter makes us forget about the wounds,

The scars,

The stones coming our way.

And we laugh at life until the stones kill us

Without we knowing it.

And as Bukowski says,

“Death will tremble to take us.”

I'll tell her

 I want to tell her, But she might be seeing me as a friend. I want to tell her, But what if she doesn't like it. I've always been that dreamy kid Sitting in some corner, On some bench, Ignored, Marked as absent by the teacher. I've always been that dreamy kid Everyone gossips about. No one has come close. No one has the courage To look into my eyes and see the lava Popping bubbles in me. No one has the courage To look at these hanging spikes of ice, Waiting to fall on the young deer with broken legs. But she saw it. She doesn’t feel the heat, But she at least counts the popping bubbles. She doesn’t feel the heat, But she's the only one who wants to. She'll push me downhill And I’ll break a rib or two. But the spikes of ice won’t fall on me. I’ll break a rib or two. But she'll take this young deer home, Wrap him in a blanket And put him near the fireplace. I want to tell her. And I have to tell her, Because she's too smart  To understand what I feel. She too...

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.

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?
