lights

a million stars
sequin the sky
eerie lights
illuminate its reaches
vast,unbounded
indescribable..
reflections on the water
speak of things
long forgotten
of lives lived long ago
the wind howls
of lores never told since a long time..
of fires burnt out eons ago..
but the lights
the lights
hark of hope
of dreams
of the future
of you..
the lights
speak of you
of a time when we shall be together
forever..
under this sky..
with this wind..
watching these lights illuminate the sky..

rain

absolution....
standing in the pouring rain
soaking wet...
wind blowing in my face..
thinking of you..
dreaming of you...
hoping to see you...
i'm content in this place..
knowing you are with me...
standing in the pouring rain..
in spirit
in soul
in my heart...
wind blowing in my face
i hear you
i remember you...
so far so good
standing alone
standing in the pouring rain..
soaking wet..
wind blowing in my face
i come across
the better part of me
the better part of you
i look up at the sky
and i can see
the many shades of me..
the many shades of you....

redemption

i saw the lightning
from my window
i rushed outside
and it lit up the black sky
the rain splashed on my face
and the wind dishevelled
my matted hair
and i stood and watched
i have found my path again
i have purpose again
amongst these drops of rain
i have found my life again....

longing

the rays of the sun,
beckon the arrival of a new day,
as the mist dissapears,
form the hills,
the clouds of the day gone by
disperse....
revealing the azure blue of the sky,
feet tread upon
the fallen leaves of yesterday
and the melancholy wind begins to blow
my mind wanders
from one idle thought to another
as this sordid day unfolds
and yet....
all my dreams are about her
all i think is her
all i feel is her
alas....
she is so near
yet so far....
another listless day passes
the dust of the day gone
begins to settle,
and it begins to rain..
washing away the dirt
from the leaves
trodden by multitudes of feet....
the rain,
splashes against
my parched face...
soothing my soul,
as she would do
were she here
alas
she is not....
even so
all my dreams are of her
all my dreams are her
all i am,
all i want,
is her...
but,
she is so near...
yet so far...
the night envelops me...
and the rain stops..
revealing the pale moonshine..
drops of water,
cling to the leaves
shimering like brilliant diamonds
all is still, all is quite,
the lanes are deserted
and i wonder alone...
will she always remain a dream
or is she real,
perhaps i'm being naive
maybe i want too much
and deserve very little
even so,
everything i see
reminds me of her,
all i want from life is her...
i can never be complete
without her....
alas,
she is so near
yet so far....

broken

the silence of this night,
eerie and sepulchrul,
lonely and dismal,
but,still beautiful and eternal
my spirit soars,
in the silence of this night,
among clouds that aimlessly drift by,
and i dream'sylvan dreams,
untouched,virgin,
grandiose and mystifying,
dreams that intoxicate me,
like the enigmatic silence,
of this wonderful night
even though,
i stand alone,
among the ruins
of dreams unfulfilled,
of promises unkept,
and of visions unrealized,
i hope,
and i dream,
new dreams,
in the piquant silence,
of this melancholy night,
everything around me changes,
unrecognisably,
but i remain,
hoping that i see the stars,
before my last breath,
runs out....
even when,
all around me,
there is,
the silence of death,
i can still feel,
the wondrous silence of a new love and,
the silence of new dreams,
germinating,
adieu,my friend,
alas, i shall forever rest,
in eternal solitude,
among my broken dreams,
with my broken wings,
wishing that,
i could ,
sink into the,
silence of this night......

reflections

i was sitting with my friend
a paddy field.....
seeing the sun set....
the enigmatic red of the sky....
the wind brushed against the
leaves
and they rustled
i watched
i didn't know who god was
i don't know who god is
nor do i really want to know...
that austere sunset...
that said it all
i don't know who god is
and i really don't want to know.....
