I’ve been watching you
Sitting across not so far
Keeping at arm’s length
Untraceable, real near.
Like a guardian angel
Or a heartless assassin
And I didn’t understand
Which one I’m becoming.

Imaginary
The confines of reason
The depth of philosophy
The memories of the bygone
The hopes of the yet to be
Everything we would believe in
The chicken, the egg, the story…
I left in the reality of you and me
And stepped into my imaginary.
Crossroads
Lost at the crossroads
Trying to pick a direction
Staring through the driving rain.
The heart skipping a beat
With each headlight approaching
And missing one when it’s gone.
Her
She asked for a happy one
So here’s to the sunshine
Her blue eyes like the ocean
Smell of her just-bathed skin
Smiles that break the dawn
Glances that reach within.
Indifference
The enlightened erases the past, ignores the present, tiptoes through the future.
Wish
The wish to find moments of peace in a quiet ghat of The Ganges appear closer now.
Followers
It’s dangerous to argue with one on the rules he only knows to follow but not to question.
Journey
Lost myself in the narrow track between paddy fields that meets the horizon… kept walking barefoot through the lush green to meet the azure vault of the sky. Colourful journey. When I reached the only hue left was the monotone black of the evening.
Starlight
This empty heart
Waits for a clear night
If it’s not for your touch
Be the dimmest starlight
And share your warmth
Soothe the cold last beat
Stories
Tiring self-crusade
Against someone else
Under the skin
With a dreamy mind
Of an elusive child
All they say matters
None of it really does
Waiting to break free
Like buried history.
And did I ever tell you?
I have stories worth years
If only you had the time.
I know well it once went wrong
Started with the one boring
Kept repeating my favourites
They had all the I-s, not the us.
Blame it on my inexperience
Never told before, I speak less.
