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…

Come to me

 Come to me like fireflies in the dark

So I may catch you in a bottle

And look at you forever

With green light in my eyes.

Come to me like the wind on a calm day at sea

So I may steer this ship to the port

And never get on it again.

Come to me like fire trying to stay alive

On a piece of wood in the snow,

Like grass through a cracked wall,

Like an empty bottle of wine thought to be full,

Ignored by the waiter.

I just want to meet you again.

I know

That it's like trying to complete a jigsaw puzzle

With a leaf for a missing piece,

Like trying to create railway tracks

By driving trains in the desert.

It just doesn’t work.

I kick the door and hurt my feet,

I jump into the water and drown.

I kiss in my dreams

And dance alone in a room,

Pretending like Tchaikovsky plays in the background.

Sometimes they knock and I don’t answer,

Sometimes they tell and I don’t open the door.

I must  be sleeping.

Yes.

And I wait for you to kiss me,

Dance with me,

Awaken me.

I am asleep.

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.

Killing loneliness

 I live alone And yet I feel a tingle now and then, As if the tiger watches through the bush outside. I live alone And yet I hear voices coming from The pipelines, The breathing curtains, The bug kissing the bulb That gets pushed away every time. I live alone And hear and see and smell what they don’t. Sometimes The loneliness eats you up And you won’t realise that the voices you hear I the crunching of that mighty jaw That chews you Slowly And slowly, Until you're eaten fully. And no one will know. Become a Patron!

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.
