46 people in a room

There are 5 fans
all switched on.

I donot have enough
to get by this moment.

All purple mushrooms are poisonous
she keeps saying. Her frame
appears dull, like her tone
like her drooping cheeks.
Gravity has acted
on her.

Classrooms are dull places.
Does this happen everyday ??

An Epitaph for the Moon

2009-08-31T03:57:00.000-07:00

The setting sun in it's motion
reminds me of the lone lamp
over my head.It's switch
is placed exactly an inch too far
for me. The sun smells of crayons,
these days.

Moon is bearable, slightly.
It is a matter of time
( it always is )
before the moon goes toxic.

Dust on my Buds

Illicit relationship of a drunk driver
with a bike takes you places.
It took me,
to the ground.

A barren void --
so filled,
with beauty.

~Beauty~

2009-07-04T01:08:00.000-07:00

Thine eyes --
Entranced I stand,
blinded.

Caged

2009-06-16T03:21:00.000-07:00

The sparrow --
it's wings clipped,
eyes an open sky.

Autumn

2009-06-12T23:17:00.000-07:00

An Autumn evening --
the old couple,
remember a spring.

~Drop~

2009-05-30T00:11:00.000-07:00

A rain drop --
slipping nervously,
on the wet leaf.

~The Window~

2009-04-18T10:20:00.000-07:00

The window --
stands besides me,
as we both wait.
Killing time
as if ..
we could injure eternity !
Staring ..
in to the black.
Waiting
for a hand,
outstretched to hold.
I try shun,
the solitude.
It's charm,
so fatal ..
Kills me,
every time,
I try sliding the window.
Born again ..
I am.
.
.
.
So oblivious of
what was beside me.

~Glorified~

2009-03-30T11:08:00.000-07:00

Entranced ..
thou stand,
glorified.

Thou scars
bleeding wisdom,
speaketh of a glory,
so different but.

Thine eyes
deluded.
Vanity it is.

Thou standeth
on the podium,
holding on ..
forever.

Oh ..
Still,
so unaware.

~Slipping in the Sun~

2009-03-18T08:44:00.000-07:00

I refrain
from walking my roads,
when it rains.
Careful I am,
not to slip.
That big hard sun but,
cleverer than ever,
bestows visions unseen ..
Mirage they call it ..
slipping in the sun,
I now know.

~Pretence~

2009-03-13T08:04:00.000-07:00

Masked --
thyself thou fooleth,
unknowingly.

~ Ruses ~

2009-02-20T23:24:00.000-08:00

Facing the ire,
I try turn away,
I can't I realize.
Fueled by a constant desire,
I often cross the line,
I end up burning,
Is it the desire??

A bleak hope
deceptive and ambiguous,
disarms then disowns me.
Every time,
I am fooled.

~ Fatal Dream ~

2009-01-23T06:54:00.000-08:00

Stalled was a dream I realized,
hiding and reluctant.
Stray it was,
but a dream nevertheless.

Passive and all cold,
under the thick realms,
surreptitious glimpses I managed,
and golly !! beautiful it was.

Pursued thee,
vigour and vim unswerving,
hoped a hope,
and seeked the vieled glory.

Ambled through the remaining life,
trudged on,
searching the silver linings,
waiting to be set free.
Time I gave it all.
Timeless times I hoped,
and wished,
it'd be worth the life,
the life I'd pawned.

Hollow had been the hope,
hollower still the wait.
The dream didn't outstep.
strong were the unyielding walls.
Lost was a life,
it succumbed to the chase.
Had it all gone,
gone in terrible vain??

Stray was that dream,
I tell myself,
stray had been the chase.
More than the life but,
I still miss that stray daze.
Close eyed I catch the glimpses,
and golly !! beautiful it still is,
still enticing and amusing,
that vieled glory.

~ High : A Bolted Door ~

2009-01-22T08:33:00.000-08:00

The door has been bolted
maybe I now can fly
Can I??
won't I need the wings??
The wind came, took over,
and soaring, I flew.
The light faded away,
then seeped through.

Flew with the sharks,
water felt never so dry,
I locked the sun,
it shone at my door.
I spent the night on mars,
Cloudy night it was,
the stars were clear,
blinked at them my laser torch,
and they all blinked with me !!
Clearer still was the water,
and the rising dawn.

I wait an empty wait for,
the door to be bolted yet again.
Trying to escape,
it ain't a prison,
the life here but is far too plain.
Looking up to a sparrow flying,
I push the door,
rekindling the magic,
the odyssey starts.
Colder is the wind,
aspiring the moon ...
soaring I fly,
hoping the door will be bolted ..
not for the last time ...

The Shining Autumn

2009-01-10T09:39:00.000-08:00

The autumns are leaving,
won't they be missed??

The barren, the leaves
and the windy silence.

Spring dawns,
a disturbing dawn it is.

Aren't the flowers loud,
and the butterflies clamorous??

The calm I loved,
the shrouding mist,
stuttering leaves,
and the flapping wind.
The invading radiance,
won't it smother??
And the trampling sunshine,
won't it kill??

I try fixing it,
everytime it goes to waste.
It won't stop coming.
I will have to bend,
one more time.
Wait, i'll have to
till the spring ends.

~ The rind ~

2008-12-12T07:13:00.000-08:00

I try to be random, everyday
doing it the same old way
the days seem the same
24 collateral hours
filled with grass brown and clouds gray.

Colors don't matter they say.
It's all in the mind,
why then you try and seek sunshine
when the rains pour outside the window
and the sun shines in your mind.

You can rise and fly
fall down
and not die.
Swim the seas
sharks and whales,
pirates and sailors,
all left behind.
Tame a lion
and ride it's hind
You can do it all,
all in your mind.

Unwind the rind
of your mind and ...

The wings are gone
and the sea is strong.
The pirates will slay
and the lion won't bray.

24 collateral hours
spend them inside the head
on a high
far from the truth.

Or face a world
where reality bites,
leaves you numb
and makes you cry.
Where the fate is dead,
the ways are hard
snakes are more
the ladders are less.

Stand in the rain
and you won't need the sunshine.
For a while,
leave your brain
and you won't need the rind of your mind.
