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…

Chapel

 


You are an old chapel

With empty benches,

A monstrous calm,

And stretched windows;

Windows with somber images

Made bright

By the sun that shines through…

The sun

That tries to highlight everything,

Even if it means to highlight sorrow.

You are an old chapel

Growing prettier

As the candles stay unlit,

As the marble pillars lose all its glow;

(Once laughing

Like an infant’s glowing eye),

As a window with the image of Peter

Gets shattered by a cricket ball…

This is a beautiful place

Even if it changes.

This is where the monstrous silence lives

Through the changes…

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.
