certainty

Surely we turn to ashes
Surely, we eat our fill
Surely, they were here to watch over us
Surely, I will survive.

inhuman

Inhuman maybe, in the way I speak
But no – wait…
Listen to me dream!

winner

Riding on multiple thoughts
touching a few million as they pass -
bleeding profusely, right in front of my eyes.
feeling sorry for the massacre
Hating that i started it.
But then, give way -
while i surge ahead!

torn

I lay naked
begging for thorns to be pierced deep within.
So the wounds would be hidden.
So the blood would seem fresh

beautiful

In the walk of life
i carry my dreams with me
sometimes heavy on my shoulders
Sometimes they carry me
making me light and carefree…

i see it coming

Soon very soon
They will fuse
Words & people
Imagination & the truth,
They will come together
And make for a picture
A portrait that’s grainy
But that will still evoke from discerning eyes
A truthful nod and a memory.

amber

Draining the smoke
charring the insides
I relish the moments spent with
a fool for company!

The fingers tremble and dance
the amber comes closer
and words begin to flow.
The knock is silenced

Ash flickers beautifully
Amber & grey
Amber & grey

I cradle it like a baby
and smother myself.

that speck

Come hither and look into my eyes
Do you see anything…
that speck that bothers me,
every living minute -
refusing to wash out.

Come hither and blow a soft breath
maybe it will leave

Come hither and look into my eyes
Do you see anything…

- “I see life”, you say.

living alone

oh that noise that refuses to die down

oh that clutter that refuses to clear

oh the people

close

suddenly so suddenly i feel you
that gentle hum sings in my ear again
a glow fills up the vaccum
bring me to you
bring me home
before i’m awaken
before the dream is snatched away
