You know those questions that you get
Like why is the sky blue?
The ones you can not answer,
But, try to pass off that you do,

Well I had one the other day,
What if we had a chance to feel what the person next to us does?
We'd touch each other without a word to say,
It'd be beautiful with no trigger or cause,

There'd be no need for gestures,
Coz our minds would be in the same place,
There'd be nothing to hold us,
There'd be no need to seize that perfect chance,

I don't know..

I just can't seem to help myself,
I wear my heart for all to see,
May be your my "someone else"
The one who feels just like me,

clawing at 'reality'
I strain
object
fight

slice fetid air
with mind's
willing blades

poised to sense
slay
threat

yet all the while
computations gather
holding conference
council within

weighing
measuring
attempting recognition

so labelling begins
imagining potent blows

yet standing back
storm's curt reminder
and all I survey and rate

mocks
informs
this is largely
of my own making

with meaning assigned
spawned of generations of
programmed thinking
fed by muddied bias

perceptions skewed
tortured to fit
fear's *******
power's price

with illusion's
dragon slain
I face
the truth

this state within
maelstrom
of angst

I
alone
create
inspired by NB's astute observations on my last poem...

Is it the work of karma of the day,
I tend to push people away.

Is it fear of hurt or hate?
I tend to push friends away.

Am I afraid to walk the mile,
Afraid to have my hands all tied.

Is it the work of life or fate,
I tend to push people in my life away.

I realized only a few days back,
This pressing question that has attacked.

Is it me and the people I attract?
Is it me alone at that?

Is it my aura or something I did?
Is it my past or past life instead?

I don't know the answers or the reasons behind.
If there is someone out there who can help me find.

Answers to these questions and questions they will remain.
Never to be answered, my stones of pain.

Who knows all the right answers
Though intelligent may be...
Who knows all the right questions
So much wiser are truly.

What if..

When I go to war,
the only weapon is love?

When I bleed,
I bleed colors that paint my skin
and I become a masterpiece?

When I die,
I die as a seed buried in the ground
and my soul as a rainbow waiting to be found?

Then, perhaps, You..
You are worth dying for

Why people need to go?
Why I'm left with a story with ago?
Why In the world I'm like a ant?
Why presence become less important?
Is change is always good?
Is leaving dear one's is a manhood?
Is future is enemy of  friends?
Is leaving loved one is new trends?
Can't the togetherness time be vast?
Can't The Star shine can last?
Can no one can create time machine?
Can no one can start the life fifteen ?
Isn't it's funny that all is money?
Isn't it's sunny,  I remembered eating of honey?
Isn't becoming bigger is Disadvantageous ?
Isn't losing old friends courageous?

I love this moment
where time has slowed down
Your fingers learn to take a flight
just micro-millimeters above the ground
And the earth, she quivers
when you are so close
Yet not, not yet...sinking into my skin
But I love this, how love flows
Your lips merely touch
my eyelids falling with the weight of diffidence
To my sigh, my warm breath falling on your neck
You smile as a consequence
I love this moment
The vibration of your voice
reverberates through your chest
as it invades my palm, as I silently rejoice
It flows through and meets the synchronicity
of my beating heart
Oh how my name gets new meaning
when it flows from your warm lips
still exuding the fragrance of love
I love how your gaze rips me apart
into mere bubbles in the universe
How your soul kneads into mine
And are we even you and I anymore?
I love how your existence echoes every time
How I fail to decipher which thoughts
belong to you and which are mine
Do I love you or do I love my reflection in you?
Or do I love the reflection of
your reflection in me,
that mirrors through you?
What substance is this love?
I know not, but I know I love this moment
I wish, though,
I could live this moment
even when I opened my eyes
Martin Koegler Mar 2017
I love you,
But you don't love me.

I watch you,
working on homework.

I watch you
from across the cafeteria.

I watch you,
laughing at your friend.

I watch you,
posting on social media.

I watch you,
walking to your car.

You are deaf,
but you aren't blind.

You are aware,
but you stay anyways.

You still refuse,
but you stay anyways.

Why,
why do you stay?
We have solved some of the questions from "A Hard Read," but there are even more questions that need answered now.  I am afraid of the answer, but I am enjoying this adventure!

You rebel
Unconventional to your own standards
Of what being means.
Because its the only freedom
You can believe
When you're binding yourself
By all the rules
And guilt
Given to you by society,
Religion, elders and facts.
Where's the questioning,
Where's the daring to be,
The test in your own limits
And the push against your own conformity that you refuse to see.
Where is the open mind
You claim you have?
Who are you without it all?
Who are you without you?
Can you push the boundaries
To greet yourself on the edge of reason,
To love yourself on the cusp of unconditional adorations.
Can you?
