TIRED OF IT

~TIRED OF IT~

What we think we feel

And what we feel we feel

Are often not what it is

Or how we actually feel.

Thinking and feeling at the same time

Could be deceiving and confusing,

For thinking and feeling are two

Separate emotions-

But most often the two

Beats minds like mine badly.

So I have decided not to think

Nor feel

But to be unfeeling

Devoid myself of all earthly thoughts and emotions

For the more I experience any

The more perplex I become,

The more stupid I look in nature’s eyes

And the more naïve I seem to my lover

But if I could only tell without thinking

Or even feel and explain things without feeling

I think I would be a bit worthwhile

In the eyes of myself, nature and my lover,

For I’m tired of thinking and feeling at the same time.

REST IN

~REST IN~

Come on in

If you have nowhere comfortable to lie your heart.

I will pack my thinks and

All my thoughts

To the empty chambers downstairs

Rest in my mind and

You are free to lie anywhere in its chambers

Free to use anything in there

Being it a bed made of sweet love memories

A couch woven out of the fibres of my undying love

A pillow sewn and stuffed

With my unstoppable affections for you,

So Come on in-

No need to knock

For what is mine

Is equally yours too.

So rest in my mind

Oh! Just for tonight

For I am ever willing

To accommodate you and your

Luggage of emotions

And all your thoughts.

For today is your day and there is only a

Chamber in my mind furnished with love and decorated

With forgiveness which I can manage to spare

And because I have nothing to offer at this point of your life

I shall spare you this chamber for as long

As long may be for you to sleep in

And if you get tired resting, you’re free to pack out

But if you choose to stay a bit longer

Than long can afford,

Then, yes it’s still for you and all yours.

So come on in and rest inside the bright

Chambers of my mind.

BENEATH YOUR WHITE SHEETS

~BENEATH YOUR WHITE SHEETS~ 

I have taken much of my chances 

And missed more of my opportunities 

But today I have come to know 

What it means to be liberated 

And what it takes to be free- 

What it entails to be gone 

How it seems to be a living ghost 

Living in tomorrow’s mansion while in the 

Broad day light of one’s today. 

I have been refined by the yearnings of your soul 

Like a crude oil, and I’m now the finest petrol 

And I’m once more ready to burn to ashes, 

To make what is gone go forever. 

So in a child’s humility I beg of you 

To bury our past and cover it with its 

Grey hairs of our mistrusts, immaturities 

Insecurities, misunderstandings and all the likes  

That are thousands in precision. 

For I won’t again sit where I sat yesterday 

Neither will I sleep where I slept yesterday 

Or stand where I stood the day before yesterday. 

So let me once more-just let me for this once sleep beneath  

The white sheets of your skins tonight 

For I want to cover myself with this warm compassionate 

Sheets of your skins 

While you wrap those comfortable heavy 

Blankets of your heart around my reckless heart. 

The same heart that fought itself and tore 

To pieces you, from its presences  

So let me dive into the white sheets of you skin 

Till I'm completely drowned in your forgiveness, 

As I continue to swim in the oceans of my remorse 

Beneath the white sheets of your skin.

BEHIND US

~BEHIND US~ 

Behind us there is a picture to remember 

A tear to remember 

A lesson to learn and revise 

An unfinished puzzle to solve 

An unfinished dream to interpret 

A lot of mystified funnies and silly mysteries. 

There is a leftover smile behind us 

An empty room of unfading giggles  

There is a stream of inexpressible emotions 

Dammed tears full of regrets  

Swaying tress of disappointments 

Rushing waterfalls of unforgettable happiness 

Falling in the deepest valley of sorrows 

Pains and heartbreaks in our souls.  

Just behind you and I stands a shadow 

A shadow made out of you and I  

With heads on shoulders 

Unwilling to let go off us

With hands wrapped around waists looking-  

Looking at us depart into our separate worlds 

Even though they can’t help it 

While sheepishly looking 

With hands and eyes stretched out 

Stretched out to get another 

Glimpse of our real selves-  

Just behind us.

BELOVED MANKIND

~Beloved Mankind~

Dear God, I do not doubt thee

But I would just want to know these;

Why some must be born blind?

While others with sight, but get blind along the way in life.

Could it be the way of life that is so unfavourable to humanity?

Or must these also happen

For thy Glorification?

Mankind your beloved are suffering.

The poor grow poorer,

As the rich elevates richer.

And Thou seem to be awoken always

But it’s as if Thou take no note of them.

Where do Thou reside, and where is Thy residence?

Could it be in the blazing sun?

For present mankind has made all possible efforts

Even in their imperfect state to see

Thy face like times of Eli.

Perhaps just to ask Thee with a much

Sincerity of heart to forgive

The generation of Adam.

And at least grant the poorer, a taste of richness

The over rich a fair taste of poverty

The sick a taste of good health

The blind a taste of good sight.

Even if these wishes could not be granted

For a life time, at least just for a while

For Mankind your beloved are suffering.
