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…

'Vultures' and other poems

 VULTURES

I want to do things.

But vultures of love stand in the way.

They come like puppies,

Helpless.

But don’t help them.

They are waves

That will become tsunamis.

They are winds

That become storms.

Don’t help them.

They don’t know

How to find the way alone.

I want to do things,

But the vultures stalk me,

Waiting for me to rest

To grab me in their claws.

But I keep running through the desert,

Without water,

Surrounded by cactuses I can cut open

If I have the time.

But I can’t stop.

The vultures are after me.

And I should keep running.



THE NIGHT WAITS

The smoke rises

And a skeleton looks back at me in the mirror.

The smoke rises,

Windows fling open

And spider webs break.

The smoke rises

And blinds,

And also reveals.

The smoke rises

Like a raven searching for a grave to yell at.

The night waits,

The clouds wait to engulf the moon.

The night waits

For another curious soul to walk into it

And get lost

Amid the contorted trees

And bodies without souls

Hanging off of its branches.

The night waits

For all of us.

And yet

Only some of us go into it.

We are both brave

And stupid.



NAKED SKELETON

The skeletons are more naked than us,

And yet they don’t feel the urge to hide it.

The skeletons are more naked than us 

And they ask for nothing.

Yet they get wrapped

By the spider

With its web.

It covers everywhere necessary

And not necessary.

But does the skeleton have such parts.

Maybe it doesn’t.

I have become that skeleton,

And maybe I should walk out of the lab that keeps me

Even though I am naked.

Maybe I shouldn’t let the spider

Cover me up fully.

I know it is kind;

Kinder than all of humanity combined

Who don’t give a fuck about me,

Even if they can give so much more.

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…
