Fire, my fascination
Is it
my love
for the elements
or my
predisposition
to my end
that I feel
peaceful
near the vents
may be
it's the heat
a ubiquitous
warming friend!

one day
One day
I will walk the walk
the one I tried to avoid
I shied away from
to the extent that I shackled myself
to the beast called life
walk the walk I will
peace will be the one
to chase me
not the other way around
bound i am today
but
it is not forever
I will walk the walk
the one I tried to avoid
I shied away from
to the extent that I shackled myself
to the beast called life
walk the walk I will
peace will be the one
to chase me
not the other way around
bound i am today
but
it is not forever

too close yet too far
you do not need to travel
too far to travel too far
separation also occurs
in the absence of a war
it's the infinite distance
between two finite numbers
on the same side of the fence
with the open eyed slumbers
you travel too far away
despite the walking along
the meanings lose all their say
despite the sweetest of songs

Where were you
All his life he had this intuition, this urge to travel along the great ocean road, by the Pacific ocean. Every now and then ,whenever he got a chance, he did. Everytime he commenced that journey, he had this anticipation, this feeling of butterflies in the belly- will it be today?
It was an overcast day with mild breeze blowing in from the ocean. As usual he got into his Ford Capri convertible and left home for the destination unknown. Usually he'd travel northbound untill about late in the afternoon and head home after a feed and drink at the small country town along the...

Variables Are Seperable
Apparently maths
has no connection with emotion
and not all relations
can be expressed in equations
but hey,
look at differential equations
they tell you
the smack bang truth
about life
that
variables
'are'
seperable
I say indeed
they would not be variables
if they were infact not seperable
human behaviours vary
but not their nature
if variability is indeed the nature
then voila
you've got a differential equation
the sweet periods together ...

beneath ashen skies
beneath ashen skies
a chest bearing weight
deep it respires
a bolt it awaits!

peace
peace
quiet
solitude
solace
unease
noise
crowd
chaos
two worlds
side by side
so near
yet
so far
i cower
under
my mother's shadow
from the
approaching stampede

pursuit of shadow
The pursuit of my shadow
set me on road to oblivion
life is all around me yet
is invisible to the naked eye
is it the narcissist in me or
my unabashed surrender to desire
which has made me so blind
to the awaiting residence in fire
set me on road to oblivion
life is all around me yet
is invisible to the naked eye
is it the narcissist in me or
my unabashed surrender to desire
which has made me so blind
to the awaiting residence in fire

in my pockets...
twas year two thousand ten
when i took up the pen
when you and i were squeezed
was the toughest period then
wrote a few lines
felt the release
no care of verse or rhymes
heart felt at ease
i wrote here and there
in notes sometimes you'd find
the ones i never shared
in my pockets, left behind

Oringially written for the competition "confessions" never got chance to complete or submit. Neverthless a non-fiction write.

not tonight
some nights are harder than others
for the pen just refuses to stand
this feeling of thumping heart
ready to spill onto paper
will
tonight be left untended
adrenalin may have flooded the veins
but this heart has been harpooned
as it breached the surface to exhale
wounded is the word
no ink will flow for now
.

Blue Skies
For I love the dawn
I will embrace the night
couldn't care less
what's wrong and right
Blue sky is what the eyes seek
silent language the hearts speak
this darkness is but the journey
glory awaits when you reach peak!

one day I will write a poem
one day
i will write a poem
taking you behind my eye
so you can see
if not feel
one day
i will write a poem
which will be perfect
in your eyes
with no catastrophes
of misplaced apostrophes
one day
