It was lovely,
The sight of a moist skinned sun.
I forgot my illusive state
And found myself harmonized
With the cold but gentle outburst.

It's bewildering,
These droplets so fragile
Yet it calms me down
With its cold and subtle presence.

I must listen,
She says to me
Listen to the rhythm
The ringing of the earth.

She wants to tell me,
It's growing faster than time
Life, in all its chaos
It's growing.

I try to capture her
But she dissolves
Dissolves into my hands ,
Into the earth
Then she disappears.
Nothing, ceases.

Heavily, she pours down
Touches and strokes me.
In her cloudy armour
She gives me shelter
Over my meagre posture.
Washes away my desolute land
Embraces me
Devours me
Smell of wet earth.

Now I long to touch you,
Keep you caged.
But you! my Mother,
You teach me
The earth ,your child,
Life transcends
Life evolves
Life. It changes.
And I must just remain,
Remain as it is.
So today, what should I be?
A rhetorical being ?
Or a pretentious hard worker ?
Why not a clown?
No, let's just play safe
And be no one.

Here I go, keeping gentle strides
Erasing my steps taken,
Oh there! I missed a spot!
Let's not leave a trace.
Look down, focus on my foot.
Focus!!
Ah!! My feet looks extremely yellow  today!
Or is it blue?
Will never know.

Hey look!! There's that kid from across the street
Look down!! How easily I forget!!
I should be insignificant today,
I should be no one.

Planning my moves ahead
I slowly get a hang of it
Invisible ! Yes that's it!
No word spoken, no word said.
Transparent!
No hair moved, no glimpses taken.
I should be still and small
Yet I shouldn't lose grip.

Doesn't look so hard, at least for the time being ,
Let me feel myself for now
Float in my own shadows
Crippled in my own skin.

Is there someone knocking?
Sorry, I'm no one today!
Please come back when I'm someone!
I hope they heard,
Well doesn't matter , does it?
I'm invisible , transparent and insignificant.

Let me forget, let it all burn down
Ashes, zero.

If you call me, I won't wake up now.
It has to be tomorrow
It has to be a new realm.

For I have dissolved into the sands
For I have become as sublime as air
As pure as distilled silence.

In the wake of a thousand rays
I do not show up in your eyes
For I am gone, for I am throbbing
A ghost of your mind.
A casual evening of coffee and thoughts
made me feel that you were far apart
Amongst my words and glances I made you come alive.
you breathed ,beneath the layers of my own skin
I awoke, to your gentle stride and touch
Don't fly away my paradise bird, put me to sleep with your lullaby.
Lost and frivolous.
Seems like I'll never find shore,
Floating amidst the blackened sea
I see bodies beside me,
Dead and rotten
Asking me to eat them,
Devour them
And drink the juice of life's uncertainties.
I reach out for the far away boat
Waving and pounding with all that's left.
As it approached
I saw nothing but a weathered soul draped in silk of the finest threads,
It's eyes spoke of nothingness,
Its ears deaf and mute,
Its lips dry and numb,
Yet its heart beat with fervor when it met its kin.
"Welcome back brother, it's time we unite."
Where the mind doesnt fear its own existence
Where the heart doesnt fear its own pace
Where I dont fear my own 'Presence.'
To love is what I want to do in my life
Feel the breeze, touch the rain and smell the ground.
Tear out our hearts into the soil, the Mother Earth,
From where we were born and return to when we are dead.
My silent prayer is that there won't be blood and meat all over the world,
rather rain and soil,
so that I can feel my skin and walk the earth
And still feel my presence.
Bind me to this space.
Frozen in time, are those gazes you gave me
while I passed by, seeing if you knew me.
Lost, you were, beneath your being
while I clicked away past your seeing.
Now, you are far off in your distant land
but you will remain in my  timeless stand.
