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…

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 smart

To love first.

I’ll go to her with my broken legs

So that she can fix me.

I’ll go to her with my broken legs

And tell her at last.

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…
