Exactly 10 years ago I bravely posted some of my mind's crazy ramblings. Tonight I was archiving my Personal files and unearthed a few works from then till 2009. Here they are, in no particular order; in no particular reality.
A small capsule of forever
You hold me
in the most natural gesture of farewell between friends … that extended for
longer than usual. Then you held me
tighter. I did the same. I felt every slow, deliberate breath you took
… a contrast to my racing heart. And
then, just like that, it was over.
Without a glance, we moved on to the next friend to bid farewell. Never before had this “beautiful unspoken”
been so expressed than through this singular moment that is destined to be lost
in the strands of time.
There are
moments, that when stringed together, form a forever. And there are forevers encapsulated in one
single moment. This was one of
them.
To the one who will be THE One
under the acacia tree
you will find me
calloused feet
wind-torn clothes
wearied by
my endless travels
your touch
alien
to my skin
grown cold
i believe myself wise
you see
but mostly
i am wary
when you find
me
and my eyes
seem unyielding
persist, dearest
i beg
until my skin grows warm
with your touch
and bells ring
with my laughter
until your soul
finds mine
under the acacia tree
i will wait
for that
moment
that every second of my life
builds up to
for that
moment
when i am home
finally … in your arms.
Unveiled
i
am
unveiled
the
song
this
guiding
me
through
narrow
paths
of
forgotten
memories
the
cloud
it
lifts
and
I see
clearly
4
mins
and
my past
is
changed
irrevocably
i
did
not
see
nor
feel
no
more
need
for
wasteful
searching
when
i
WAS
found
i
am
unveiled
now
but
you
are
lost
to me
4
years past.
heart of
a mother
for
it is of
no consequence
this,
they say,
love
unrequited
it only
matters
that
i love
truly
and entirely
until
that day
ready
and armed
you
take
flight
and even
then
my heart
and my
prayers
shall
watch ever closely over you.
My
Muse
verses
run in my head
fleeting
and sometimes fading
long
before i can
bind
them into coherence
random
thoughts
fragments
of moments lost
but
the feelings
so
new and yet so old
i grasp
at them
but
they are gone
like
wisps of warm breath
on
a cool december night
and
then again
prodding
and teasing
till i
stand
before
the door
and
in the cobwebs
of
my secret room
you
my
dusty muse
i hearken
to your voice
though
you do not speak
one
look, a touch
and i
am alive
rediscovering
passions
of long ago
once
again
burning
… and breathing ….
(i
wield no power over you,
yet
you choose
to
stay
in
the secret chambers of my heart
and i
claim you
as
my own captured muse
though
in truth
it
is i
who am
your slave).
Nagging Water
(tribute to Wolfmann)
once more
she walks on water
i have left
with love unspoken
yet all I do
is love her even more
in the only way i can now
rocking her gently
the soft breeze upon her shoulder
like water
now
i am everywhere … and free.
01-31-09
and so we go on
this endless dance
round the fire
slowly consuming us
from within ….
untitled
‘tis the hour
of just before moon’s setting
wakefulness whispers upon me
flash of images flooding my head
a touch
head upon shoulder
a brush
scent surrounding me
these fragments of you
and me
forbidden
sleepwalking
she picks up the phone
“do you remember me?
he asks
“what?!”
she replies
“i remember you”
click!
all at once she was
removed from time
and space
sunlight filters through
the blinds
warm and yellow
she looks around
coffe table, sofa
door
3 pm, the clock says
then she hears
her own heavy breathing
she blinks
once
twice
she is finally awake.
invisible
what hands
brought you here
this meticulously engineered
here? and now?
what mystical wisdom
gave you secret words
uttered without speaking
heard only by my heart?
what ancient sage
planted my face in your heart
and gave you hands
that touched my soul?
what invisible hands
brought you here
where i roam aimlessly
and now
when my soul needs waking?
perhaps i will never know
perhaps there is no need to
come now, child
here in the bosom of my love
whence you were conceived
and i am reborn
anxiety
shush! shush!
quiet, thoughts!
you pester me
with your incessant prodding
oh! to sleep
a dreamless sleep
to tame
the monsters in my head ....
quiet, thoughts!
