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…

The little things

 The curvy holes on violins,

A grass through the crack in the concrete,

Rain jumping off umbrellas,

Misty cliffs,

Tomatoes rolling out of a basket;

These are the beautiful things

We do not notice.

The wine is distributed to some many people

That no one gets anything.

There are too many straws in the same glass

That there's no room for much wine.

We are too busy to notice

The little things.

The designs on railings,

Flowery creepers on old gates,

The spark in the eyes of young lovers

About to kiss for the first time.

An embrace

From lover to lover,

Parent to child,

Young to old.

A light

Through yellow paper,

A painted church window,

An empty hourglass,

A soul;

Shimmering to die or be reborn.

We don’t see these little things.

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?

Dove and rose

 She has tattooed a flower upside down under one eye; A falling rose wrapped in white silk, With two doves scooping down to grab it. But they never get it. And the rose will still have it's petals, It's silk, Its youthfulness. The rose will keep falling Through this valley between tears and talk, Always closer to the tears. And the doves keep falling along, Wasting their time. Well, Do they have a choice? Become a Patron!

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...
