Mirror

If I told you that
You didn't come 'into' this world
That you came 'out' of this world
If I told you your creator was
'below' you and not 'above'
If I told you gravity is love
And air is sorrow
Would you try to look below you?
Would you try to be poorer to
Reach the seventh 'land'
Would you sleep on high beds
under higher ceilings?
Oh well! You built these walls
To protect yourself from the winds
And then you built fans inside
I want to stop and laugh
But there's more
If I told you that you could see
In the darkness and that light blinds you
Would you try to look
In the absence of the biggest star?
Now are you wondering why you
Never thought that light is more blinding
If you were all naked, would you stare
At the one with clothes on?
You are so easy that I said "eat" soup
And you "ate'' it
Nevertheless, you can ground as deep
As you can
You can fly as far
As you can
To the core of the earth or
To the core of the sun
You are not going to find God, my child
You wont see what you are looking for
What you will see is that
Darkness prevails in light
And light prevails in darkness
I'll tell you what you'll find anywhere you go...
YOURSELF!







Ice & Fire

All this while I had love 
The kind of love
That if my heart was ice, 
It would melt
If my heart was water, 
Would turn to mist 
And reach the skies 
Then pour down like rain drops
But his love is not so subtle
It is such.. that
My cold heart was thrown in fire  
The flames reached the skies 
The clouds were ashes
And even if the Milkyway 
had to burn and fall, 
The flames would not be extinguished
That's the love that burns in my heart,
Runs through my veins
It is fire in ice.

And in between all this, darling!
You opened your eyes to..
Your light,your darkness, your smiles, 
Your sadness, your numbers, 
Your alphabets, your roads, your houses, 
Your history, your math, your science, 
Your skies, your waters, your wars, 
Your friends, your wallets, your plates, 
The wine, the meat, Your Gods, 
The animals, the birds, the floods, 
Your ignorance, your knowledge, 
Your love, your hatred, your pain, 
Your mirrors, your walls, your suffering, 
Your hope, your despair, your race, 
Your religion, your father, your family, 
Your sunsets, your skills, your questions, 
Your answers, your fun, your funeral, 
And you closed your eyes.
You open your eyes.... and you close your eyes.
In between IS all this, darling!

Funny train

I miss you more..
When the waters fall
The sky is shedding its skin
The sky bears nothing now
The thunder is the anger
For not meeting its lover
Your chest is so wide that 
It has no place for me
Some light I see among the clouds
You are the sky so wide
So clouded yet so clear
So dark yet so bright
So dense yet so light 
So harsh yet so soft
If I had to walk over it
If I had to walk over love
Would I breathe or stop
If your love was a train
It would be long
Compartmentalized
And it would sound like
Puff Puff Puff
It would wait for my signal 
To start and stop
It would follow a signal track
And deviate when instructed 
But your love is not a train
Your love is a hurricane
Without guidelines
Without control
It takes me away...
And I go with it... far away.
 
 

Turtle

We are all just knowledge flowing with time
Everything breaks
Everything stops
I can't say I am the time ahead
I could be behind
What we speak of now
Could be what we spoke of then
Do you know? What it could be in times ahead
A shadow of the times behind
All cycles end; except the cycle of wisdom
The warmth of the surroundings..
Is too strong to ignore
The pinch of the pain I feel in my heart
Is too sharp to forget
I feel my blood too, rushing in my veins
How could this be unreal.
Could this be a real thing.
 

This Love

His skin 
Like caramel on ice
His smell
Like flowers crushing under the sun
His voice
Like rain and thunder unite
His love
Like the waves meeting the shore
So content ...but not complete 
Wanting more... I see the sky
The stars remind me of the shine 
The smile he brings 
The touch like dew drops 
Filling more colors to my petals
Reaching my roots
Tickling my soul
His love...is such.

The Night

Such is this night
So dark, so starry
Let's fly into the endless time
Come hold my hand

Lift off the ground, your toes
Feel the chill on your nose
'Cause out of all the spirits
It is with you I sail

And I would still choose you
To give a million kisses to
Hugs that warm your caring heart
And touch your lovely soul

Cross your fingers with mine
Let's wander among the lights
Such is the night
So dark, so starry
