More often an optimist will see the goal, a pessimist the path.
If only we were both.
Perhaps that is why we seek not to journey alone?
Do opposites really attract? Is this what we really mean when we seek out our "other half"?

My mind flees into the darkness.
Where will I find it this time?
Will it wander to you?
A hazy silhouette in the ebony abyss
Of my thoughts, hopes, dreams,
And fears.
You seem so distant, yet vivid,
So present, yet lost.
There are slight differences about you now.
You have the temporary aura
Of yellow happiness which captures you.
But then, at times, I see the hollow
Places in you face and wonder.
Does your mind flee into the darkness too?

अजब गजबका जादुसी दुनीया ——२
जाने रब कहाँ खो गया ।      रंग बहुत देखिँ हँे मैने यहाँ
मे सतके खोजमे निक्ला ——२

हे छत बेगरके दिवारेँ ——२
कही काली धनकी हेँ  महेफिल ।   हे नङगा शिर कही खाली
कही नङगा बन्ताहे खुवाइसे  ।     अजब गजबका जादुसी दुनीया

हे खाली पेटेके दिन दुःखी ——२        
कही दान लेतँे हँे फजुलमे ।       हे प्यासी गला कही सुकी
कही सराबकी हे बारिसे  ।        अजब गजबका जादुसी दुनीया

हे नन्हा उठाता बोझ भारी ——२
कही बढे सब बेकाम हे  ।        देखा प्यारका हँे साजिसे
कही दिवाने पहेनते हँे हडकडी  । अजब गजबका जादुसी दुनीया

हे गुमराह जन यहाँ ——२
कहीँ लिन हेँ कोइ तपमे  ।        देखा काडोका बनी सिमाए
कहीँ फुल्ता गुलाब वागमे  ।       अजब गजबका जादुसी दुनीया

देखा एकताके कइँ नारे ——२
कही मारा मारी हँे भाइयोमे  ।     लगा चेतना हे यहा कमी ——२
अजब गजबका जादुसी दुनीया  ।   मे सत के खोजमे निक्ला

अजब गजबका जादुसी दुनीया ——३

Have you seen the mice all running, running in their wheel.
"Knowing" and "believing", what are delusions, to them is "real".
Rarely seeing other mice outside the wheel they're in.
Only time for thinking of keeping their own wheel on spin.
So happy and contented when they are spinning there.
So many trivialities that to them equal despair.
Keep the wheel a spinning, a spinning at a pace.
Never knowing that following circles just takes you to no place.
Mice ask me why I have no wheel and treat me as though I am lost.
I once did tread my wheel my delusions unable to sustain the cost.
Watching countless wheels without sense spinning on and on.
From beyond the wheel my delusions shattered, have now all gone.
Without a wheel there seems no purpose no reason to try and spin.
But once seen outside of wheels there seems no way to get back in.
Which of us is "mad"? To anyone who has found a second wheel... I think I would love to hear how.

the brain and mind are not the same thing.

a brain floats, suspended,
down to the tips of my toes
and the blue rivers underneath my skin.

it is a box; simple tasks and quiet construction.

the mind has no such manuals.

it sees baboons in filtered skylights,
eyes as red as the blushing dawn,
gushing about over the hilltops of my shoulders.

it sees stop signs in the glass cracks
of my wooden closet door,
where the dark seeps around the green-light-go.

it sees fingertip to lip,
raccoons at rusty roadways,
Remus and Romulus locked in eternal combat;
preserved in the grains in the cherry tree trunk.

the brain is in the head,
but the mind is somewhere a little above;

hiding away in a doomsday bunker,
loud warnings burning the air,
bathed in cobwebs and blue lights.

away from people who haven’t quite learned,

that the brain and mind are not the same thing.
they say mind over matter. but mind is the matter. it matters to the creaks at 4 am and the cries in the bathroom stalls.
