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…

Staying in a shell forged in pain

 There are people

Who clean toilets 

They can never sit on

And they don’t have it 

In their houses

Because 

There are no houses 

For them


There are people

Who bathe in hot showers

Too hot for the skin

But they feel nothing

Because the inside burns

Much more


There are people

Who feel proud

To walk into a store

And buy oats


It is one of their

Two great achievements

The other

Is getting out of bed


There are people

Who feel proud

To sleep till noon


It is one of their

Two treasured moments

The other

Is falling asleep

In the first place


There are people

Who stay in,

Not going to parties,

Watching porn

Because it is the only thing

That makes them feel

Anything


Even if that ‘anything’

Is their own sorrow

Their own shattered selves


There are people

Sitting naked

Beside running taps

In their bathrooms

Crying

Having no strength

To bath

Having no strength

To put something on

Alone

Afraid of

Their own selves

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…
