Candles
Years, like decades, may end up dishonest.
This year has been the most dishonest of years;
A year of old men who wallow in hate.
They get their stupid kicks from war and death,
And wield their pudgy pens like howitzers.
Not much to recommend it, you might think,
Yet, somewhere, a woman helps her neighbour,
A girl gives succour to a wounded boy,
And suddenly, we see can...

The Hero’s Journey
heroic dosages, taken
on a trip made up out of fear
nightmare fuel
Terra’s mental plane
astral travel…
plan it…
and don’t even begin to panic, or else...

Finding yourself
After fighting, and ofcourse, winning,
a grave battle,
against the storm, within me,
I will, finally, sit back, and think.
Gazing at the night sky,
when I will embrace the light of moon,
I will not look back, in time, and regret,
but will surely rejoice, for the present, I am,
And if somehow I realise,
that yes, I am me,
That will be the moment,
when I will be,

Hand on darkness
Some years ago, I realised
I am the driver of my life
And so I chose light
It was a difficult decision
More difficult than it sounds
It’s hard to know what it is to see
When there’s no darkness around
It’s easy to equate pain with feeling
To attach pain to being
And so I never ran from the dark
I marched towards it
Let it smoke my heart
Instead, it was alw...

Yes, I'm Blind
All I can do is follow my heart
The one that you fill.
You made me unique.
So I can follow no one else.
I wait for your still small voice.
But I don't hear anything.
I am blind, but I know it,
So there is hope.
I follow my heart
Where it leads, I go.
Yes, I am blind...
But I can feel the light.

Close to the fire
I'm on the edge of myself,
where skin is not enough
and desire spreads
like a nameless flame.
On your body - a mirror of absence -
I search for myself:
a burning instant
between now and nevermore.
The flesh longs for verb,
but all is silence
when I touch you with my soul.
I am a lit shadow,
I am a blind word,
wanting you
where you no longer are.
And in the dark of the room

Light and Absence
I am not a mirror and the reflection gets lost in me, there is no name, everything drifts away, and in every part of me, a universe I do not know.
There
is an absence, but the scream still flows from the body as if it were not mine.
I am
the space between the light that is no longer seen.

Light/Shadow
The light fades slowly on the horizon
like a farewell, hesitant and forlorn
and the night is born with no hurry to be night
lost in the shadows of what’s yet to be drawn
There’s something in the air, a gentle sigh
an unseen movement drifting through the trees
a secret vanishing with the breeze
perhaps a memory that never learned to fly
Words may fade
but silences still hold their weig...
