Your inner horizon I glimpsed, a flash of light ensnared my senses – but now your gravitational field grabs hold of me – and all pretense of freedom lost as I am caught in the web of your outstanding thought

Fingers stretch out everywhere to reach, to grab and tear – to drag life out of its hiding place, the withering flowers, the branches of the leafless trees – nature’s now-barren bowers with their beauty-spreading powers shielding emptiness – to […]

You’re present here beside me you speak within my dream, you stir around me in the air like vapour in the steam Your voice I’ve known forever as much as I recall, and though I do not want you you […]

I gravitate towards you as you pass – a road that leads elsewhere than where I’m headed at – a meeting, brief exchanges, empty air remains – an era’s past in my timeline, another’s come – it’s just the same […]

Where d’you come from? as into space I stare you appear from the bottom of my mind somewhere You disrupt the pattern – trains of thought disturbed – when, shining like a lantern you throw some random word Stray thought, […]

Overgrown with weeds, squeezed into place between apartment blocks – irregular in shape, a vast expanse of emptiness and plants – a little jungle in the middle of the city, framed by makeshift fences meant to keep intruders out (the […]

The brightest colours of the setting sun come just before it disappears – do not expect to excel while you’re young; your lustre’s dimmed by vanity and fears.

What if the Universe created us in an efforts to understand itself? And what if we in turn produce art and literature in order to understand ourselves? It would not be surprising then if art and literature – in a […]

Wave after wave, come carry me away from home on shore before the break of day my nets to set, my duties to attend, (revisiting the ones who earlier went whose ghosts now hover in the mist at dawn above […]

Fragile Dawn – I barely see you as you shimmer through an eyelid halfway gone before you’re here, halfway gone while you are here – You bring promises with you that, forgotten, fade with you in the bittersweet gradient of […]

When sunshine strikes my wearied eyes when I awake from sleep – when sloping dikes groan with the weight of tides arisen from the deep – when waking lights rise in the skies and ply my eyes wide open – […]

to the girl YOU are streams of music, tones of rain and moisturizing breaths you share, YOU are a song that comes and goes – unnoticed though by most – that follows me asleep, awake, and lives inside my palms […]

Just like the seashore in a shell which sounds as if the sea itself therein should dwell, but only is an echo of your own pulse that through its windings go; how to be sure that deep within yourself does […]

Gently tuned clangs from the ivory of the piano keys – a breath disturbs the dusty air, the dust grains now break free – amidst the tunes they dance as if by music struck, awoken into life where now they […]

Don’t play it – no more melody reminding me of you – don’t play the song we used to sing, don’t sing it like you do – no sound to ruin what my heart is hoarding, true and pure; there […]

a rhythm, no, a beat – unheard but in-between the sounds it rests, a string unstrung makes music without sound – a pulse, again, a beat – an un-tuned, fine-tuned air, a seed of music in its latency, bearing each […]

When it was, it all was real, today it is a shadow – the lush green grass, a lonely cloud, the daisies on the meadow – When it was, it all was real, but felt unreal to me – then […]

I listen and I read – yes, I gather each drop spilled from the minds of sages past, hoping that my mind shall someday too be filled with the drops of truth collected, that I’ll find myself subjected to my […]

liquify my eyes and melt me till I fuse into the vapour on the grass the dew is due sweet droplets as I sink into nature’s warming breast liquify my heart turn blood to water set me free and re-unite […]

I smell wet grass and mosses from your hair as you pass by my door, soft breeze who plays with the sun’s rays and dances on forevermore Restless, joyous in your movements, not constrained by worries like my world. On […]
