Silence

 When roads are running

but my legs have stopped.


When concrete stands tall

but my torso is to fall,


When the birds are flying

but my eyes are closed.


When the wind is whispering.

but my mouth has shut.


When the trees are bellowing 

but my mind has been silenced.


I am the silent water deep in ocean, 

confused by whacky waves on the top.




Forgive but don't forget

 I Forgive Myself

for not being brave


 I Forgive Myself

for not talking straight


 I Forgive Myself

for not letting you know


 I Forgive Myself

the pain I was going through


 I Forgive Myself

for being overly possessive of you


 I Forgive Myself

for not letting you go


 I Forgive Myself

for the fear of losing you


 I Forgive Myself

for you being my emotional choose.


 I Forgive Myself

for looking at you in my need.


 I Forgive Myself

for planting in you seductive seed.


But I can never forget the time we spent and the moments we created on this life journey called marriage.

COVID times

 Hiding in my house.

Growing like a weed.

Like an alien plant from some planet

which grew without a seed.


Deserted all the streets.

Vacuumed our masterminds.

The invisible alien hiding

no torch no light can find.


Locked in my room

I miss my human talks. 

This state of quarantine

has taken away my leisure walks.


Looking at the ceiling

House arrest has made me think.

This world needs a reset button

or the end is at its brink,


Listening to my heartbeats

Is the cosmos connecting us all?

Ego, pride, nationality

rotten links get to fall.


The time to think deeper.

The time to ponder the past.

Series of mistakes, unfulfilled commitments.

Nothing ever lasts.


Looking through the open windows

Winds whispered in my ears.

Believe in the power

Someone wants you to overcome your fears.


I opened the door and took off my mask.

devoured the wind like hungry for ages

Felt freedom of 100 birds

The contentment of scrupulous sages.

2019

 Here comes 'They'

Now we all must pray. 

The tiny entities have united

the divided developed humans. 

The cosmos connection 

can be felt, can be seen.

No matter how we look.

No matter where we are from.

The dire need to drop all the differences.

'Believe in his power' is a new norm.

They look tiny but they are so strong.

 My power, my looks everything goes wrong.
