rivers

rumours among the fishes

2010-12-03T04:41:00.000+05:30

are you getting carried away?
like me, do you smile
when you see the sky above ?
unknowingly connected to the web
of joy that binds our lives
that hidden sea of laughter
we float on unanchored
and what about this real sea?
this javanese endless salt water
unending pit between our hearts
a prolonged puzzle in our minds
the memory curiously questions
pieces past, lost and forgotten

a pleasant welcome

2009-12-06T06:14:00.002+05:30

come look at my garden
said the merry host
with a hand on the head
stubborn secrets being read

taking pictures out of frames
recording their details
i spy on your life
like an eagle's eye

distant but aware
scattered and continuous
curious and protected
i pour out the wine red

the eye tells a story

2009-08-26T15:25:00.002+05:30

following this unstable road
with my eyes scrutinizing all alone
touching leaves that toward me sway
as a feather swoops down delayed

watching the others swim together
paired by will, or playful chance
this lone mind lives forever
in memories that make the eye dance

escaping into the unkown

2009-02-21T08:08:00.003+05:30

distracted by the day
and observing patiently at night
i wait for the moment to rise again
take a deep breath and count, again

but it pushes me away
and keeps me curious about the unknown
tempts me with the playful gesture
and ignores me at my highest pride

when life's beauty was just a word
and not a living truism
and all the exploration seemed
just like a pointless escape

a moment of clarity

2009-01-14T23:03:00.002+05:30

it speaks to me
quietly amidst the tears
a ray of sunshine
behind the clouds

breaking my wildest burden
turning concrete to cotton
it brings me here
to taste the purest elixir

and i wait and wonder
if this heaven is merely a dream
and i stop to consider
this moment of earthly gleam

a coloured perspective

2008-08-25T12:17:00.002+05:30

as days are spent
in quiet observation
and wondering why she cringes
at my mere sight

the wind howls
as it ceaselessly blows
behind my ears
and i run inside to hide

but she notices
for a second, stares
observes, recognizes,
only to look away

and again a tinge of disgust
swims into her expression
and misguided opinions
make weary a pretty face

the uncommon choice

2008-08-25T12:14:00.002+05:30

walk on, into the burning desert i did
not hearing their voices behind me
..insane, madman, they cried and cursed
but all i could do was smile
and face the boiling sun

delayed

2008-07-29T12:12:00.002+05:30

its been a while,
a long time,
since i reconnected the dots
and moved on

moved on, from a taste
uninspiring gaze of burden
the weightless drudgery of reason
coming close behind me

freedom. escape. a giant leap
for a moment, chasing a forgotten dream
and lying smiling in the fallen leaves
waiting for a drop of rain

breathing

2007-11-12T17:37:00.000+05:30

When my life was drifting,
Like a broken branch in the river
You made me feel rooted again
In a beautiful way, not tied
but connected again to life, inspired

and every moment, I see you
the light in my heart glows brighter, still
and every tale I tell, for gain
in your subconscious it imprints itself
like fishes emerging to greet the sun

and this doubt we keep transferring
to each other, passing the baton
and running around the cycle,
turning back to the same place
bleeding chaos into this simple clarity

amuses me and ridicules me
and makes me forget the real me
so precious this, others may say
but I take it for granted
like leaves wrapped around the fruit

and again

2007-07-27T23:07:00.000+05:30

for the millionth time, hesitating
never getting it right, almost perfect
convincing yourself deliberately, and again
for the missed moments, pondering by and by
shaking the fists at inadequate memories
and spending time on the surroundings
temporarily occupying the senses
with the insanity of a different source
wander on, you do, through these woods
breathing, thinking, judging, calculating,
and pretending to seek the answer

curiosity

2007-07-27T22:54:00.000+05:30

unable to satisfy
to tempt away from this desire
to know, to be freed,
simple denial of any consequence

charging ahead like a mad bull
into the crowd of bloody fury

in muddy thoughts
the home awakens
to the merriment of the guest

another party

2007-04-08T09:50:00.000+05:30

another opportunity to smile
to show teeth biting lower lip
to make waves with silly expressions

sharing the corner with my hands
round and round, the worker's tragedy
fills glasses escaping laughter

light enough to dance on the speakers
monotonous choices accumulate
and fresh air sparks a grin

turning it off

2007-04-01T12:19:00.000+05:30

to hit the switch and say no
becomes a challenge in this age
when the thoughts wander again

justifying the demand for power
criticizing the powerless demands
watching movies with holy ideals

poking fun at the miserable
reminding me of my insides
searching for stories of valour

i am curious, and in my curiosity
i am guessing, curious guesses
and appreciating your every move

in order to win

2007-03-23T08:52:00.000+05:30

i must first choose
to win, to strive, to defeat
to make a mark on the meek

to feel the power
its ugly tentacles around my brain
to lose again, and again

and work the issues out
help the ones in need
come out, and open my eyes

he is missing

2007-03-22T22:25:00.000+05:30

he is right here
inside me..

saving me for you
and your memory

tragic comic
paid to bathe
in inescapable ignorance

chewing on a fruit
biting the last straw
swallowing his feed

axe

2007-03-20T16:19:00.000+05:30

when did we turn greedy?
and start to pack it all in
so much to do, so little time
so much time, and nothing to do

activities flow through pillars
and circulate the dandy posts
where monotony is just another
really funny sounding word heard

throwing out your frozen key
into the warm wild wind
and feeling lost, unmoved
the trees growing much taller

weary

2007-02-17T23:03:00.000+05:30

i exercise my right
to be within, to stay
to carry these burdens
shelter me another day

the beauty of the fall
the slide, the spiral
the comedy of it all
the end, so close, it smiles

the beginning, a joyous climb
gradually gets tiresome
a weary smile and a sigh
makes the whole world disappear

awake

2007-01-06T09:40:00.000+05:30

desensitize the obvious
and awaken the subtle
for a minute now
search past your tao

it would feel so good
so real, so dependable
but its going to go away
could define your stay

overcome this feeling
this search for the one
and float amongst the angels
awake, as the rising sun

it's your turn

2006-01-20T15:35:00.000+05:30

you know it's yours
to turn away from
a generation of joy
to row the boat ashore
and disentangle weeds
stuck on an oar
hanging loosely connected
inhumanly disconnected

2005-11-30T09:21:00.000+05:30

being here and now, o spirit of wonder
grow cautiously, and glow, forever unstained
by the lightning bolts of anger spoken
in troubled times, when the heart is weak

like a leaf swaying on it’s final fall
or a child rolling down a pile of sand,
may you wake up those around you
to face the world with a friendly smile

unafraid to grace the misunderstood ways
discover life and all it’s dimensions
whether distracted, torn or crippled today,
may I bow before you in wonder again

when i drive

2005-11-27T00:12:00.000+05:30

i forget
to open my eyes
and look at the road

i am in your contemplation
spinning mysteries within

glowing clouds, melt my sunset
freeze me so i may forget
the winter pain, colder than rain

chained

2005-11-24T04:53:00.000+05:30

to a little dream
trapped butterfly
walk the walk
i'm an arrogant fool
and i cry again
like a fool in a dream
for your hungry memory
your wise decisions
and my defeated ones

like a germ

2005-11-23T02:36:00.000+05:30

you asked them why
and they told you how

now i'm not needed
so you can walk all over me
or brush me off your shoulder
like a germ

with a bad view

when ever three

2005-11-20T03:00:00.000+05:30

fly towards the sunrise
with winter grey eyes

forget the spice
it's okay to be afraid

and so they say
but it isn't a play

i am the

2005-11-19T21:31:00.000+05:30

wonder, when i pluck the fear
out of your eyes, wearing smiles
sweating twisted words, you speak another
grey sphere of wisdom, transmitting wrong messages
secret subconscious connections
travelling aglow in my brain
like cherries on icecream
like birds at sunrise

your talc

2005-11-18T19:20:00.000+05:30

lost my way between your lake and trees
worked my hands at the burning precision

once again, i fled for his time and hurried
into the magic greatness of your fantasy
and exactly what i needed to find, again

but then we rode off past the sunset
into a chill, with a naked dream, and hope
but now you try to tear my letters, it seems

silly puppy

2005-11-18T01:33:00.000+05:30

silly

when i chewed on the wrong flower, they said
it would grow out of the ground again,
make me strong today, and tomorrow
until i would find it again

but i can't digest it now,
because it's ugly somehow,
this charmless veggie blow

i hope it grows again, now
so i may see you smile again

fried fear

2005-11-17T18:58:00.000+05:30

this food,
in a box

why keep it closed,
when i get too hungry ?

protect me
don't blind my eyes

without you, dear, i am nothing

speak to me

2005-11-16T20:18:00.000+05:30

only once did i hear your whispers stream
away, into my unconsciousness
flowing like butterflies by trees
were the spaces of despair
and again, i'll hear your voice
when it's quiet
and a shallow sun rises in the milky sky

2005-11-09T17:14:00.000+05:30

drawn to my heart
we surround me around you

.in the complexities of grace
and the nose dive back to reality
took all your pictures
and visions, with me

i took your stories,
wished they were inky pages in the rain
i took your memories,
and i disrespect them, again, i'm sorry

polythene

2005-11-08T02:03:00.000+05:30

tied and folded
freeing air in the quiet
starlit spaceless time
like a multi dimensional rubberband
crossing oneself with twain

in your head

2005-11-08T02:01:00.000+05:30

mosquito, mosquito
we're coming to get you

should i choose the repellent
or does it bother your senses

i forget, to be sensitive
when you bite me and suck my blood
i can't really be caring
for your wings or your siphon eyes

under the tree

2005-11-08T00:25:00.000+05:30

i didn't notice from the shadows
your bored old smile
and askew glance

and when i walked by
you were there...

nodding away with food on your plate
grinning miserably at my loneliness

taking me for granted
holding you back
and pushing you forward

any other

2005-11-05T01:20:00.000+05:30

ways would be miserable
but its not in front of me
anymore
i need time, or space, or both
but its all right here
sitting in front of me
like slices of apple
tempting me together
mourning eyes of a wander
the morning eyes, we wonder

in dreams

2005-10-30T14:45:00.000+05:30

in dreams

i wander these lanes
shark bite pains
alone
large dark circles
in pairs and triads
close my sense of reason
close my escaping memory
flashes between pillars
and a scratch on the shoulder

rivers

2005-10-26T20:17:00.000+05:30

give me pain

give me

understanding

what i may not give thee
it was in may that i began to be

me

snowflake

2005-09-22T04:00:00.000+05:30

snowflake

snowflake. swim in the lake. up a mountain. for no one. speak to me with the clouds, for there is no curtain here. i am your starry eye folding in. take a deep breath for your feet and cheer up. and break my sunset mind. for i am lost anyway..

every picture

2005-09-22T01:49:00.000+05:30

every picture
..................
a nerve us
break down

can't hear you speak now

because its yours
your inspiration
my gift is yours

don't need
no, don't..

i need my lead

jaw distracted

2005-09-21T10:40:00.000+05:30

jaw distracted

am i the fool on thrill
under quick swallows
of eloquent sunsets

can it be easier today
so i don't need to reap
a phrase off a scaly tongue

seeing sonic waves

2005-09-20T02:53:00.000+05:30

seeing sonic waves

i know you all
the ones that will be
happy for the rest of their lives

and the others keep crying
longing, in the lonely moonlight
shedding tears that would fill
half a glass, shimmering spectrum

free my love with your apathy
its better than trying, imagining
you call his name
again, i sigh, again

eyeing temptation

2005-09-19T11:05:00.000+05:30

eyeing temptation

tempt me
with ignorance
a clear black shadow
distracted by clouds
a flash of light
a flutter of wings
the falling feather
and floating lotus
leave me
here alone
so i don't need to see anymore

at every turn

2005-09-16T06:17:00.000+05:30

at every turn
you are here

in front of me

like yesterday

shuffle

2005-09-16T06:16:00.001+05:30

shuffle

between web weep ages
spider crawls of creation
in an empty cabled cosmos

why do you change my weathered soul?

i am your sphere
in a silent shifted randomness
touching everything everywhere

stop doubting my reason
or semi-sucidial sacrifice

for when i enjoy the hunger
i also enjoy the rain

dream

2005-09-16T06:16:00.000+05:30

dream

and a dream

it ended in you

this space in front of me
between us, in our space

colder than our skin
another voice within

a shallow crowded pool

spare me my moment
its all i need

now, now I

2005-09-12T10:12:00.000+05:30

now, now I

don't need to find another play
a game, of words in my inn logy
for its too cumbersome and quiet

bright like your fairy tale spin
is a focus in my fulcrum

sold

2005-09-09T09:26:00.000+05:30

sold

it always was the same
when i opened my eyes again

and saw this sun rise
through a fractured cloud
with every bird following
and swallowing a dream

a shadowed scream
of polished thought
swings out like a sword
across my eyes

my only

2005-09-09T01:27:00.000+05:30

out of my heart
like a sneeze
in the dark, i tremble

afraid to make
my sunlit space
a little colder

hold you here,
or take my arms
and everything else

if all we had
was just a number
a sunken iceberg sees

back

2005-09-08T18:12:00.000+05:30

back

i wonder how
you always return

a smile in the eye
captures me
ingenious, alone

a word in a box
and i'm on a cloud
a spark between stars

silica gel

2005-09-05T01:07:00.000+05:30

silica gel

fear is anger
is fear is anger

we walk again
to the same room
notes on our back
books for your brain

what can i say?
its not going away

turn off the mind
and stimuli resonance
its right here
and its happening now

fear. tear. leave it alone

sixteen chains

2005-08-31T14:29:00.000+05:30

sixteen chains

colder than a rainy day
in a dry sand stable
colder than a part
of a steely narrow cable

there is a boom in the sky
that makes us shudder
a memory growls in
incessant thunder

as more dances remind us
of the same twilight dream
and fewer gentle caresses
speak of another theme

nostalgia

2005-08-28T05:41:00.000+05:30

nostalgia

whatever went up
and disappeared
is gone at last

there won't be
another vow
another cause to confirm

for a long time now..

i have my space again
and jerks feel freer
awfully spaced again
with lesser sacked trial

cold confused

2005-08-26T22:17:00.000+05:30

bring it here, and now
before my silence speaks

shadows..
another territory of guile

climb over the side
of a hue inside
make a meaning again

away smile. stray clean
speak a word unseen
too many completed rings
colder than a confusion

swirl

2005-08-26T00:00:00.000+05:30

oh no, its here again
the kleptomaniac
at play, working with
drawn images absorbed

failed me and my walls
and couldn't hear my calls

so i sway and stir
from a dissonant space
a rung within
an anchored face

in communicado

2005-08-24T09:43:00.000+05:30

in communicado

i am a tyrant tiger
waiting behind the trees
to run to you
and swallow a leaf

so don't bother with
my snake tongue
or my gaping hole

for i stare not at a
blush on the forehead
or a hole on the phase

i am inside you already
climbing a twisted tree
to whack my face with wood
and break it all down to bits

cool silent comfort
escapes me, i'm weak
my heart trembles to fall
out like stupor speak
blurred and bleak

simple

2005-08-23T23:28:00.000+05:30

simple

its so simple to write it down,
i laugh at the trial deep inside

window pain in shadow
pot of tea on the desk

when did he write these
books and pictures before
a clouded bird cage

you may be taller
but i'm stronger now

fall to falter, to cover my eyes
spending a life of broken spies
hide and crawl until i die
wake a memory inside a real me

shadow swims lake

2005-08-23T01:53:00.000+05:30

shadow swims lake

your ego pokes my dust
your protests make me scream
and laugh until i cry

your meter scolds my mind
jump again on my roots
and fear red ants climbing

we're all going nowhere
so stop trying to show me
the way that's too dark
unlit and decaying

lamp in a shrine
burns for you
not my oil
or my seed

beep beep bleep
sap in the sky

not my memory
not my choice
not the back
of my heart

help me mention something
and wrap clouds around
your moonlit grace
smiling and silently staring

fruit of unknown origin

2005-08-22T21:44:00.000+05:30

fruit of unknown origin

(for the wolf inside)

i hear your sins crying
they pull me down
until i almost drown

before i close my eyes
a tear breaks down rivers
rapid decay of my inn

and we float freely until
the skies take their fill

paint my jazz eyes
paint my jazz eyes

ignition

2005-08-22T03:23:00.000+05:30

ignition

when it becomes a waste
this beautiful raw fruit

when i suffocate to draw
swallow taste invaluable
and drown the sonic flood
and feel it lesser

pulling you into this dance
and making it a better memory
snow falls by the candlelight
outside the fragile window

smiling is the sad sale
beyond a material scope

i can't justify this
to you, with my sorry words
when i fall asleep sick
this is not me

it shakes me into this sphere
puts me in and grows me in fear

your silly fear, i shake off
broken leaves undone dreams
and stare at the spotless sun
and the dust at my feet

you

2005-08-21T23:55:00.000+05:30

you

Glassy skirted angels in the snowy night
Hiding behind trees, wary of wolves
Flowery maidens of the sunny afternoon
Drowning their spirits, on edges of shores

Bantering in passion, dispassionately
Spinning a vibrant rain of magic
Walking ahead, leaving me behind
Hold my head, fold my feeble ears

Aesthetic beauties of asymmetric dreams
In a divine spiral, an unnoticed harmony
Celebrate this smile, in the blink of an eye

you’ve never seen it
your hair in the sunlight
it’s too tempting, too easy
to reach out and gently grab
these bitter colored strands
conspiring to stab my fingers

with their fragrant grace
these brilliant sands
glowing with life inside

but you can see them too
and we can’t reach them

lunar

2005-08-21T07:13:00.000+05:30

lunar

i see the sun
and the moon
each day

growing their seperate ways
in union, as one

today is no different
whenever

birds flew to the east
and dragonflies
nowhere in particular

gentle

2005-08-20T04:33:00.001+05:30

gentle

for the grub of stake
hale and sympathetic
creed shades a mind

all in a book of sorts
explode articulate chain
speak of an other word

undo hip or critical screams
cheat that flame twice
seal an element
this tired trial, too trivial

playtime

2005-08-20T04:33:00.000+05:30

playtime

wrap ice cream nut and cold daisy
like juice in a box

all looking shapeless
like to see, the sea

monstrous mountain
behind me shake
quiet slumber faint
brimful of cherry

pain

2005-08-20T04:27:00.000+05:30

pain

change this burn
learn to swim

chide the silence
funk in monkey

watch it fade
spoil the sorrow

bluebell you play
claws shrink mine

stories in vein

2005-08-19T19:32:00.000+05:30

stories in vein

history, a funny reason to be

speak to kings and strangers
and strange kings you doubt

sure is, a foggy idea to me
drowning in the urban flood
holy slivers of the grayed

closer home, all alone

it fell from another place
surprising stars in blackness

identify this. space, time, ways

blood

2005-08-19T01:05:00.000+05:30

blood

the mother dying philosopher
better than me
the mother killing philosophy
better than you
black turns to blue
black turns to blue
recorder working okay
recorder working okay
teenage anthem playing in the background
pale guy throwing seeds at sparrows
the infinite universe beckons
the infinite universe beckons
get off the plane
crashland into a crystal ship on colder clouds
crashland into a crystal ship on cock eyed clouds
Turn your head inside out.
brains unfaced. brains unfazed.
Turn your head inside out.
like an orange. an orange orange.

fruit

old wise

oddball moon (Aye min7 + efF(2) My 7)

it was all blues when it started
circling down into your head
spinnning these messages inside me
screaming where will i be led

am i ? (The min [4] + See[1] + Aye[3])

am i writing today for my baby's sake
or is it just another fatalist flaw
as the tree breaks off branches
you come here and speak to me

triangles (De flower 1-m3-m7 / 1-M3-M7 / 1-4-8 [X2])

wandering shallow ponds of free light
trip and turn into a treeless hill
see your care and concern combine
to step into the silent sea...
step into the silent sea

by the way

2005-08-18T19:40:00.000+05:30

by the way

sensed it flying outward
piercing the night sky
like a shrill cricket
gracefully unmoved

it hurt the circumference
spun it all around
primal cause of grace
woven with dreamy sunlight

hurt the bat cave
and feathery leaves fell
feel nothing tickle toes
its just a soaring sour note

sweeter hisses of cymbals

2005-08-18T14:53:00.000+05:30

sweeter hisses of cymbals

discretise your shake
swing it slowly, again

hands, hands, kick
my feet into action

unpaint this spectrum
of visual vice unseen

knew me

2005-08-17T02:43:00.000+05:30

knew me

stay the way you are
you social monster
you big hungry wolf

don't change it now
you mad mad monk
its not going to be
and it may never go

forgetting is easier
easier than birds
grasp, don't cling
don't struggle to suffer
swim beyond this
mucky mirth in the river

oxygen and carbon

oxygen and carbon

a photo essay
ordered bumpy ride

steering to avoid
swerving to collide

meaningless metallic rings
shapeless washing machine sounds
metal strings on a wooden board

perspectives crumble with age
memories strengthen and support
analyse continuously the myriad
links and more between people

journey back exhausted
covered with dust and bittered dreams
to enter a change in weather

downward

2005-08-12T21:47:00.000+05:30

downward

if there were a point,
looking into the same
old dark eyes
disguising expressions coldly
rather look downward
constantly distracted by fire
concentrated through ice
picture a thousand again
somewhere else, some other time

phantom solidarity

2005-08-11T17:33:00.000+05:30

phantom solidarity

a convergence of principles,
i want to break it all down to bits
a dark unity of greed,
i see a sphere in my hands
the crude is possibly real,
i need to subject this to me
a composition of layers trickles,
the bugs chase the play of branches
it meagrely reaches in circulated ploys

guess

2005-08-07T21:23:00.000+05:30

guess
creator sitting under a tree
said it was time to let go.
of these words and instruments

falling, again to keep in step,
broken leaves bother nobody
its time to move on today

flowers in my mind awaken thee
wish i could be reality, see
its not me, or my choice really

triangles

2005-08-07T17:44:00.000+05:30

triangles

coffee shop dude with the hop
screams forever decaf dreams
brittle bitter brain comes around
to see the silence in the lot
sparks fly across a screen
systematic old approval

when i look down
the rain fall from behind
circuiting in its clockwise spiral
bringing in the unkown, secrets
beyond this temporary horizon

oddball moon

2005-08-07T17:21:00.000+05:30

oddball moon

i am the gloom in the sky
a moonlit sea with sailing breath
cold curtains try and follow
and the mirror sees through
it all

i am a face in the crowd
big blazing wild scar eyes
serpents crawl beyond this
trees forever circle wisely
to throw

i've got to leave these ashes behind
like shells in the sand by the sea
we'll all take it back again
someday... someday...

synchronized weekends

2005-08-07T09:48:00.000+05:30

synchroninzed weekends

had a phone in may
for this august weather
proclaim across seas
this claim to the sky

stop going online
curious conversation
interrupts crookedly
a lonely sunday

falling off the moon

2005-08-06T00:05:00.000+05:30

falling off the moon

like a tired astronaut
umbilically tied to his bot
senseless stars crowding
his dying meagre view

a bird's sparkling circus
takes more than a minute
bowled sunlit drops mean
a brilliant summer dance

spreadsheets

2005-08-04T19:37:00.000+05:30

spreadsheets

sort them by a favourite
escaping the played, counting
meaningless numbers in music
all together following nothing
spiral inward and its safer here
for the monster in the sheep

streams

2005-08-02T10:50:00.000+05:30

streams

laughing at a lonely crying man
is a sign of some strange alchemy
fear turns into anger, humour and love

i have no gold, only an adapter
that may recharge your connections
or drown in a flood of turbulence

this love is ours and i am yours
and we keep my mind in tune
to the laughable moments

a little red ant bit my love
so i swatted it away like a fly
and that made me a tiger

baby poll

2005-08-01T22:57:00.000+05:30

baby poll

pollen pollution
a winged sky
reflections of light
in the pond
plastic paper electricity
on the shore
a library of images
it all came tumbling down

king rat dubious

king rat dubious

cannot set you free
with the eye of my mind
the little i see
is all you can find

free buzz fever

2005-07-29T11:11:00.000+05:30

free buzz fever

coming to the key
to let it out
because its flat
fearfully dull mellow

unknown breath
carried my germ
from a tree
in the dark forest

sarcasm

2005-07-22T10:30:00.000+05:30

sarcasm

wit clothed in agression
makes a joke sour
and the rise of a wave
an expression of unrest
calming the unsaid
the unknown toggles
between now and before

history repeats itself

2005-07-18T02:09:00.000+05:30

history repeats itself

once the connections are made
the newness ends and it all starts again
pattern recognition sees things the way
it wants and thinks its supposed to be
rewards for openness are meaningless
as the objective dissolves into the concept
and the sinuous flow breaks through clouds

prayer for the lan

2005-07-13T15:42:00.000+05:30

prayer for the lan

options futures and probability
and fate and the irrational,
anger in a dying network
serving no one and nothing,
cribs flying everywhere
like tigers pouncing take
a while to sit and listen

gloomy rain

2005-07-13T07:44:00.000+05:30

gloomy rain

on a wednesday morning
the gloom is thick and
the weather is like
a curtain over my breath
hold the worries
and expectations
and then we chirp
like free birds, warm
in the heavenly sunshine

stop

2005-07-12T19:16:00.000+05:30

stop

stop reading between the lines
recognising patterns
in leaves and lowlifes
there is no point
pi is a number
and nobody knows
where it's going to go

storyteller

2005-07-10T21:32:00.000+05:30

storyteller

the beauty in the tale
and the magic in the rhyme
friends with misery
make me want to cry
speak from the heart
and unknowingly stop
to hear the tears
falling in the dark

the view down

2005-07-08T01:58:00.000+05:30

the view down

it's covered with junk
a lawn of memories
float down like a fly
and throw it all away
but like the punk said
the issue is the aim
and the fault isn't,
action disconnected
from implications certain,
fly away humid mind

grey elephant

2005-07-03T23:50:00.000+05:30

grey elephant

waiting outside the window
crawling down from the ceiling
is the giant grey elephant
and he's losing balance
in the incessant rain
he shakes like a tree
and armies follow the birds
traversing and trespassing
quietly decorate the sky
bizzare disconnections surface
when the inertia takes over

homework

2005-06-16T21:45:00.000+05:30

when you don't do your homework
you get into trouble
like it were a place
an occupation of sorts
that you accidentally slipped
into on a random holiday
and you could do it
and safe yourself some unfun
but it's just another
something you don't normally
do or involve your self
completely in when it matters
like a letter to a brother

brown

2005-03-29T21:31:00.000+05:30

brown

it's escaping me through jazz
and my goal, it has
become one subsided prioity
dissolving in petty mediocrity
probing the deeper regions
for what seems like eons
helping the fish out of the water
help them see the sun and not a
blurry piece of fiction
clouded in another yellow concoction
'this is not for me' i frown
and in the corner nods mr.brown

monday

2005-03-07T21:40:00.000+05:30

monday
two thirty pm anywhere in this wide grey space of twenty four hours sleepless and adding value to sensitive brains swimming in soma captured eternally through microcosmic reproductions of the hidden spaces silently breathing the cold blue air of this blooming field of stars above my head hidden by the ceiling and it's purpose this computer screen in front of my tired eyes and the ceiling is always between me and the stars and they're singing together in some exotic chorus and when i think of the ceiling i think of i before e except after c and wonder why that group of sentences had to rhyme why alphabets aren't nouns like people humming their favourite songs and joking in the shadows....

missing

2005-02-13T21:50:00.000+05:30

missing

missing is the smile
that calm of music
charmless spaces
too much noise
can't let them enter
lonely mind boredom
red wine we can't see
swims in our faces
crawling in like a thief
under your blanket
missing is your smile
and fear enfolds me
as i travel miles afar
searching for this
and it's missing here

resisting value

2005-02-12T14:08:00.000+05:30

resisting value

they say it's adding
adding to my life
my knowledge of stuff
but i'm always resisting

i open the book
and i'm troubled
by the why and why not
so i'm always resisting

feeling carnivorous
the words make sense
but the purpose is vague
and i'm always resisting

but i should read
for this is my karma
more so my dharma
but i'm always resisting

plead guilty

2005-01-23T17:53:00.000+05:30

plead guilty
i know you not, and never will
but i stole the diamond
you held preciously
in your dreaming hands
and now it's gone
precious is lost
and my handy dreams
powerless in effect
slap me hard in the face
so i remember, and plead guilty
and apologise for my sins
for blowing away a candle
in your darkest dream
to make my hollow dream shine

soap

2005-01-23T17:43:00.000+05:30

soap
it bothers me so much
that we're all dependent
on this little shrinking block
of foamy chemical fragrance
bubbling our odours away
that we're all slaves
to our sense of smell
attached to this nothing
of flower parfum aroma
this fuzz disappearing
down unexplored drains
little by little by little
