** Some Thoughts **
 
Like a slogan written on a wall
Like some mucky, muddy soil
Every moment of life is here
Like a farewell gesture
 
     ####################
 
Poetry-like girl
Is reading poetry
 
     ####################
 
Once, I touched
A rain drop
And a river has run through me
Since then
 
     ####################
 
Beauty is no beauty
If she leaves beholders sane
Everyone is beautiful to someone
No one is sane
 
     ####################
 
An ordinary life
Spent, waiting for someone
Is not an infelicitous one
 
     ####################
 
Burying all hurt
Somewhere in my heart
I want to forget
I have a heart too
 
     ####################
 
Whatever happened to heart
A constant ache is there
That keeps throbbing …
Whatever happened to heart.
 
     ####################

** The writer writes **
 
The WRITER writes
my fate and surprise
simultaneously
and doesn't bother to care
where to write fate and where surprise...
 
It is not that I am not loved
but just, dont know why,
am kept unaware...
 
Surprise and Unawareness
teach me a new meaning of life.....
 
I,
Instead of giving importance to meanings
make friends with lonliness
and accumulate endless tiredness......
 
My tiredness inspires me for another long journey
and I,
erasing all creases on my palms
spread out there
the paths of wait
and tell the air
that against the WRITER
who writes fate and surprise simultaneously
and against all those
who love me but keep me unaware,
I have no complaints...................
 
after all
end of a useless life
shouldn't be anything,
but a meaningless death #

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

** But It Happens **
 
Don’t know
Why it happens sometimes
 
While carving some statue
Creating something new
One self gets annihilated
 
Don’t know
Why it happens sometimes
 
While laughing amongst friends
In one’s desert eyes
Creeps in an ocean
 
Don’t know
Why it happens sometimes

You are a king of expression, Salmon--no doubts about it! Every word and placement has purpose, and is filled with meaning. I feel what you write, more so, than I understand what is written. Great work--keep them flowing....
