i move to the centre of that joy
and i am overcome by wholeness
like the full moon
illumined in my heart cave

may i be returned to that joy
today and every day
may i carry in my eyes
a glimpse of that fullness

i am a child of the
    great moving force
i get back up right away
and continue to play

tonight i sow the seed
and tomorrow there shall be rain
  all comes together
            all over again

no matter what
don't let the fire die
it burns inside your chest
let it colour your eyes
sometimes your fingers stop
your eyes fixate on nothing in particular
you freeze
like the cold outside
almost like you're waiting
for the sun to come save you

enough waiting

no matter what
don't let the fire die
no matter how many times
you turn out to be a loser
no matter how many times
you eat something that turns your day
into nothing but a big mistake
no matter what
don't let the fire subside

nothing's ever that serious

but I'll tell you something that is

you use the screens to find relief
from the arbitrary life you lead
you're escaping
from this life you've paved
with all your bad habits
the ones you pretend
aren't that serious

be merciless
like the fire
don't lose your vigor yet
you're only twenty five
be quick
to correct your errors
pull yourself out of this
inertia

it's easy.

you must learn one thing
let the inner polarisation be
don’t use your mind sword on it
let the heart flower find where it lives
and grow there quietly

some work is better done when left alone

my heart's a flower
my life's in full bloom
I'm no garden
I'm the very fragrance
of roses in bloom
breathe me in

the night sky turns
sepia pink
onyx hair
on amber skin
I keep you
within
my swan prince
your fingers on my
water lily waist
we become
the very morning

you used to
bring me
one single dahlia
each spring

seven years since
I've been cursed to an
eternity in waiting
your mad queen
whispering
where have you been

where have you been

indian tuberose
on a watery path
its a bright midnight
for you and i

moving shadows
on the ceiling wall
our fingers dance
in the pouring light

i like blue
like that of a frozen lake
pale as a snowflake
your aftertaste

i like citrine
your sleepy brown eyes
iridescent
just before sunrise

i like to watch
the mighty sun fall
ending it all
my eight legged window
captures it all

black rain
octopus sky
we stay inside
do things we like
