How, What, Will

How much have you lived and how much have you died
What do I know of you, except a soul passing by 
You tread on your paths you make your lines
Some I'll cross... Some I'll dread and regret my lifetime 
Who were you,  where you come from?
Unclear of your existence...Do you matter, Were you ever did?
You'll always be a stranger, unknown, forgotten, mystic and lost
Like a thought, like a dream, like a canvas..Empty and void
Albeit the door ajar... How much it lets you peek, how deep you desire to sink  
Hands we hold, walk where we smile and behold 
How much of it was real.. How much we remember 
As centuries decay into half lives 
Blow the dandelions kiss the palette cheeks 
I wish to get lost in all the cities deprived of starry nights 
Did you ever explored, will you ever come out
Who are you scared of...Me or the world you engulf inside
How much you know, how much you hide
How much we say how much we immerse in rhyme 
The poet you, the reader I 
Hindered in words... One which I compose and myriad you
Always failing to recite 
Do you know how to write, Can you diffrentiate blood and ink
Bottled together, aged like wine
How much is love how much is divine 


How much is earthly... I the mortal breathing with the thousand spikes
Will, you ever kill, Will you ever feel
Deeper the knife pierces...The calmer pain sways
Is it me or is it you... A Rose baffled in thoughtless twilights

Once you tell me something

Once you tell me something it can't be retracted It's like flickering light in northern twinkling stars...A domino of separation of anguish and anger  Blizzards On the sea far from all but coastal Remember in the tiny cafe you sat facing this summer, A book of introspection as you flipped the pages Pages of the chapter titled " Once you tell me something it can’t be retracted" Your whole body changes... The way you smell, Your reflection How it feels when you avoid my touch Like a distant moon, you shower your lights in the despair of meadows and in the blink of midnight The us will be no more than a victim you and a distant I Killing me in the leaching presence Leaving me at the mercy of mine a parasite of my own demise I’ll see it as an ephemeral moment of evaporating droplets, It’s a struggle to hold or to let you go now Yet all I could ever do is to observe and comprehend in hindsight "You’ll say my detachment has grown stronger and I no longer feel...

Non Zero Sum Game

Conversation between them She: Sometimes he sits on the terrace stargazing, Deeply fallen for I do not know t whom: like he makes me fall for all his art. I stare at him. Like he is staring at that empty sky. I grab his hand, point it towards the darkness and then towards me, telling him I am his star. He: Who is that he.. Is he or is he you Is he everyone around.. One trying to weave his dreams on the rotten grounds Does speaks or does he hears.. Is he even alive or he does stares... Staring at hollow nights Where I'm not just a person I'm a myth.. A star of skipped sleep She: You say I am a myth, And you my love, are a star of skipped sleep. You slip into the mornings;  And I slip into some more darkness. They say stars are the past we see, May be that is why, we shall meet at the distant horizon, where the sky touches the sea. He: A montage of crimson yet pale sky Aren't we all ill.. fallen over what he have and what we'll never possess What is an horizon.. Except a ...

Cafe with the red door

 My words they don’t speak to me anymore…They have gone silent. I tried to write a monologue ended up with a paraphrased well-rehearsed dialogue where it was me my pen a barren thoughtless ambitionless dire dread sunken low endless void sheet of paper a truce I was determined to extract a reunion of me and the words a paraphrased well-rehearsed melody. I’ll call my new testament a revelation yet again the door was shut a creek on the bolts and a sudden jolt as all that was left was a seer clear serene vaccume devoid of light sound hope dreams and the desire to get up…I was paralyzed my hands were trembling my pen aching to move an inch, to explore the great run of meadows some description of waves mountains the wind playing with your hairs a cuddle under moonlight cigarette’s after ages few stanza about the windows the first ray of sun and all the words that rhyme, my pen aching to move an inch succumbed to the wounds of fantasy a café with red door and a table peering all that y...
