I would like to paint
my own letters
inbetween the pauses
of the lyrics

filled with significance
of nothingness

neither pitch black
or blending white
not even mixed washed grey

we are raised to see contrasts
but what if everything
is just tones of the same
entireness

so violent
the silence in my breath
and how it pushes me
down

we havent got it all worked out
for the road ahead
and I guess we can count ourselves lucky for that
when the clouds roll in

remember the warmth
beneath
  
I would like to write
to you
with our songs
everything I breathe
underneath my glances

do you also read
the emptiness
inbetween the sensations

I would like to tell you
what I see

it can be a word on your tongue
a thought in your mind
the breathing of your heart

some things you weave into your soul
and your spirit loves
while freedom opens up

your heart knows compassion
but not everyone will feel this
it depends how far you have travelled.

I sit on the fence       that keeps two sides from
tearing each other      down. I built that fence.
10:00 - 02/06/17
State of mind: doubtful; contemplative.

Thoughts: from thinking - about how I am sometimes accused of sitting on the fence and not having much of an opinion on current affairs.

Every conflict needs a mediator, a diplomat to quell or cool the heat of an argument.

Questions: what is the value in seeing all perspectives of an argument only to side with none? Is that really indifference or is there something deeper to do with acknowledging that there is no truth, only interpretation?

09:50 - 04/06/17
Afterthoughts: change is important because it encourages diversity. Conflict stimulates change.

I think what I am developing with this thought is more to do with the conflict in shaping what people believe is the best environment to exist in. In reality, there are many. There should be many and we should be free to move between them.

The internet is an environment. Some people ascribe to it, others don't. But both it and alternatives are important. Many facets has the diamond.

I believe the fence is symbolic for realising that there is not one perfect way, but many and is wrong to tear down the diversity we have in favour of a singular way.
I came across a line today -

"There are seven days in the week,
and “someday” isn’t one of them."


So true,
for a clue
to live life again!


I wanted to keep myself healthy, but I say, from
someday I would start exercising and eat healthy.

Everyday I think, I would create art, more often
but postpone it to someday to make it happen.

I wanted to ride a bike but I keep saying
someday I would learn how to ride.

I wanted to express my love to someone
but my hearts say - someday,
I would express my love all over again.

I wanted to read as many books as possible.
but brain says, someday I would read it all.

I wanted to buy clothes which would
suit my character at best,
but I say, money isn't enough so someday
I would earn it so as to afford it.

I wanted to travel more often
but I keep saying to myself,
This time is not right, someday I would.

I have lost most of my friends
and I don't know whether they were
friends or foe in real.
But I keep saying someday
I might see them again.

*And Someday never happens
make it happen today itself..
(There are seven days in the week,
and “someday” isn’t one of them")

This line tempted me to write all the someday
which I ever wanted to make it happen
Some days keeps going one after the other
until we all figure out that
'Today is the day".

I just wanna know
When will
The left over anger
Subside?

Like a nagging scratch on my back
Every time you do anything
Say anything
Merely exist
I just want a pair of large hands
To shake you right in and up
Out of your skull
You wannabe feminist

You turned out to be the worst of them all
Because you put on such a good show
Only to use my power
Against me.
