    Junction of life

    Coming to the junction of life
    Calculating the availability, non-availability
    The mind is upset
    What did you want and what did you get?

    Deep inside that pain
    The frustration is all the time.

    Hopes are devastated under the wheel of fortune
    So life cries around
    Receipt of seeking and non-seeking
    Surrounded the courtyard of life.

    Parturition

     

    Our birth on earth,
    meant a woman
    was in spirals, 
    of the sun,
    walking on,
    a moon bun
    Crown on her head
    beaming stars,
    radiant lustrous,
    but not on Mars 
    Own identity, 
    on planet earth,
    at the time of birth
    Then paper identity, 
    comes first,
    Second birth,
    paper person first
    Remember the spirals,
    of sun, 
    the woman
    that helped create, 
    and deliver 
    an individual one,
    keep hold, 
    of that picture,
    vivid dazzling sun,
    maintain the,
    individual one
    Your birth 
    on earth,
    was never,
    conveyor belt first,
    manufacturing,
    to fill the purse

    Lolly Wheels

    The shopping trolley,
    armed like an, 
    iron lorry
    Making you fill 
    up with unnecessary,
    folly,
    to line pockets,
    no Jolly
    Just left with,
    melted lolly
    Helping others,
    that would,
    be lolly,
    well spent in the,
    trolley

    For this is your life

    You can speak
    It’s alright
    You’re not weak
    Have no fright

     

    Be joyful
    Be proud
    Be loyal
    Be unbowed

     

    For this is your life
    Make it amazing
    Forget any strife
    Trails-a-blazing

     

    It’s alright to be quiet
    I have certainly tried it
    Just find a way to be heard
    Fly around you free bird

     

    I don’t like to speak, but love to write
    If I could, I would do it all night
    Cause I have found my voice by my choice
    Now rejoice and make your loudest noise

     

    For this is your life
    Make it amazing
    Forget any strife
    Trails-a-blazing

     

    And there should be no pressure
    Sometimes your under-weather
    Just follow this short advice
    Go right now, take back your life

     

    I hope ...

    Isn’t it cool

    Isn’t it cool
    How tears are clear
    The only time someone isn’t hiding themself
    And their fear

     

    There is a moment in sorrow
    When the only thing you can think
    Is what truly makes you happy
    And what also makes you sink

     

    It makes it seem great
    To always be unhappy
    But to all seeking it
    I wish it never be your fate

     

    Cause openness is bliss
    But too much is a crutch
    Cause not only will people judge You
    But You will too

     

    I wish I never had this power
    To feel down and lonely and sour
    Whenever I or you or anyone
    Is in any sort of pain

     

    I’m sure you know the pain
    The kind you can’t subdue
    But what else can I do
    The rainbow is on a vertical plane
    Something I can never reach
    But can always watch and preach

    The dance of doom


         
        Then it was running harder and harder every day: My heart-stabbing damn knife was already every moment of mortal Immortality even bleeding in me! While the Great Time steered him here and there like the never-to-be Negotiator! Tiny, glued-handed gigolos, trendy jambs, trampled the chances of survival in others as well, until in the end they selfishly sinned! My soul, ready to soar, was forced to be shackled by bound shackles; the consolidation of imagined Friendships could have been mine alone, if I had already given up on the happiness I could find!
         
        I would need something beyond an unspeakable need to be able to live with content again, and not just be ashamed of my own guilt! By deliberately contemplating the unexpected traps of Being, it is better to avoid and look back, so that even memories cannot haunt you! A call to morning awakening often lacks a sense of du...

    For keeping on

    Grace is the morning,
    greet it with gratitude;
    and so do yourself too, 
    for keeping on,
    for keeping on.

    Heal through the Night

    And when all the noises die down,
    silence will come serenading, 
    resonating you to rest,

    Let it
    console 
    your soul.

    Heal through the night.
    And live fearlessly
    again, through the day.

    Nothing occupies my mind, but you.

    Your space is eternal;
    an ocean—vast, and extending, 
    infinite and mystic, majestic;
    You conquer everything of me, 
    making me defenseless. 

    But also a raging ocean. 
    Furious waves and turbulence, 
    you are calm, motionless. 
    But massive and wild; 
    a beast, and I'm drowning.

    And I wonder; if it's the ocean
    you harbor I have fallen into. 
    I suppose to know to swim. 
    But I don't seem to remember.
    Nothing ocuppies my mind, but you.

    More or less, you are here.

    By the early light,
    each wake,
    is a different sight. 

    By the nature's call,
    each repelling sound,
    is a deafening crescendo. 

    By the warmth touch,
    each gentle stroke,
    is yet a cascading heat.

    By the day's scent,
    each inhale, 
    is a blending aroma. 

    For some time, 
    every thing, 
    is more or less enough.

    More heavier
    Or less;
    is life. 

    Yet, you breathe. 
    You feel. You witness. 
    And you live. 

    More or less, 
    You exist. 
    You are.
