Raw eggs

I tried beautiful,

I tried pristine,

I was no good at it

I’m not neat within

I’m not “clean”

Even externally, I cannot master

Clearing every bit of clutter

I’m raw, like an egg

It’s not pretty to have a cracked head

But if I don’t

I’m practically dead

As inanimate and detached as my wooden bed

To be raw is

Painful,

Ugly,

Messy,

But it’s rich with fee...

In the beginning, God [early draft]

And in that first wailing cry my ashes were ordained:

As the ocean acknowledges its horizon,

knows infinity's finite edge

so my cry knew a destiny

knew my play and my learning

my work, my leisure, my sleep

the evil of my hands and the goodness of my heart

my loves, my hates, my pleasures.

Knew my world: that tiny flesh held all my futures

and in those fragile bones resid...

Bigger than you

You should know better

Than to think you’re alone in this universe

You’ve seen breath come from nothing 

Animals evolve 

More complex than fathomable

Human species shapeshift and roam

With inventions inexplicable 

Grass, water, and life itself

Come to be 

And people like you 

Who all think different

And think they’re the only ones

Don’t assume you’re not connect...

Part of us

Something speaks from beyond 

Something writhes alive

In each of us

Something pulls and breathes

Beyond our touch 

They call it instinct

But it is magically distinct 

And can lead, lead, lead 

To something in your core

They call it power of the brain 

But it’s so much more 

It cannot be explained away 

It cannot be spoken out of existence 

They call it the mi...

Beyond The Oasis

Trapped into the forlorn steps

Without much hope or even despair

In the middle of the desert

 

Only the skies beyond the sky

Or deserts beyond the desert

Space and eternity- mingled

 

Time has little or no value

Only day and night

Without any plurality

 

Only the singularity reigns

Over the modern history

Dictating terms and conditions

 

In th...

Back To Square One

So I have borrowed few words

No, not from the dictionary of civilization

Yet civilized enough in their own terms

 

At first they observed my intentions

Diving deep into my desires and design

Perhaps to measure my honesty or hypocrisy

 

The day was bright as usual like our lies

Everywhere the newspapers were shouting

As much as they have been instructed

Fragments Of Revolution!

like the dark side of the moon

i wished your attention.

alone but not fragile!

doomed but not hopeless!

casual but not reluctant!

yet:

reciting- warfare to adulteries;

preaching- peace treaty to abortions;

teasing- prophet to pauper;

you kept me  waiting.

authentication of truth is not valid

like your mascara and false eyelashes any more.

but leaflets of secre...

Dreams Die Fast

And at last the indomitable world was unfolding

In my palm.

All the skies were merging

Into my blue.

All the seas drowned

Into my passions.

All the stars melted

In my vein.

And then I had recruited Time.

To keep the show rolling.

 

In our everyday meeting

We discussed how to form

The blood the red one!

I told the primordial atom

To diffuse every pain in...

Back To The Essentials

Back to the days of the first encounters,

Back to the pictures with the zoom effects in full

Back to the first names hanging from those innocent lips

Back when the earth was singing with the full moon

 

With each glances under the whispers of hearts

With each letters of innocent beliefs like the dawn

With each stroke of dreams under the stars of the Milky Way

With all...

The Deep Secret

she was talking in undertone

like the old hermits of the

Buddhist Monastery

 

not to prove any algorithm

or to put forward hypothesis

of social revolution

 

she was there with her

gentle smile and her bare arms

moving like gentle breeze

 

not like the smiling  bureaucrats

shaking the cold hands

before the secret deals

 

she was looking around
