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 wait

 I'll wait for you

On this rusty bench near an overflowing rubbish bin,

Spray painted with black and red symbols

That look like some ancient language.

I'll wait for you

On this rusty bench near an overflowing rubbish bin,

Until the garbage man comes to empty it,

Until the trees toss around orange leaves

And become skeletons

Whose thin fingers break under the snow.

I hope you'll come

To make me a fireplace.

I hope you'll come

To brew for me warm soup,

Or make steaming tea.

Take your time.

Even if you're late, I'll wait.

The trees should have so much courage

To be naked in the winter.

We are what we are surrounded by.

So I'll look at the trees

And learn courage.

It will be

My fireplace,

My soup,

My warm tea.

But I’ll wait for you

To get more firewood to my fireplace,

To add pepper to my soup,

To add sugar to my tea.

But I’ll wait for you

And I’ll kiss you on your neck

While you add sugar,

While you add pepper.

And I’ll kiss you on the lips

When we sit at the fireplace together.

This winter;

It kills trees, fire, and even water.

And without you,

It may kill me too.

So I’ll wait for you on this rusted park bench

To die

Only after a kiss

From you.

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.

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...

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!
