My painter friend looked at me and laughed,
"I can't draw, I've told you that," I said.
"What a sad life to not be able to place your emotions on a canvas,"
he grinned.
"I don't paint but I write," I replied, "Want to know the difference?"
Intrigued he awaited for my answer,
"Your art is for the eye, but mine's for the heart."

Autumn Rose
Dying alone
in this kingdom
by the sea,
watching stars
going out...

In the restless waves,
In the shimmering blue...

My eyes are closed,
my heart has gone silent,
But a song will travel
upon a wind of memories
across the sea...

I Know You

Seema
You are the moon, in my dark sky
The enchanting fragrance of the blooming petals
Your pretty eyes never lie
I've seen you fight many internal battles
Rising like a victorious sun
Hooving away the pinnacle pains
You are always on a path to run
While I feel your tears when it rains
I know...who are you,
I know...who am I

You are the mystical dew,
And I am,
                  the clear blue sky...

It's good without
You in my mind
Fasting my brain
On books

I didn't go to college
For nothing
I didn't come.this way
To find love
I couldn't strive as quickly as
My friends did
I don't have a job
Doesn't mean I don't appreciate
Everything

Your tongue may have told
The truth
But it still feels like a lie to
My heart

You rose in my sky
a full moon rising
always bright
never warm.

I headed towards the east
to find out where this was coming from
to find out what was going on

But the answer was a rainbow moving further away
A horizon that keeps on shifting

Elusive as dusty sunlight
breaking through the garden window

Reaching out and never touching
No connection made.

Passing dust devils
on our way.

Fire and water
Immortal mortal enemies
They've never seen
eye to eye

One turns the other
into cold dead ash
The other turns the other
into
evaporating  gas

The earth,
The universe
seems to love them both
equally

One catches us on fire
The other calms the burning ember

One gives us light
One gives us life

Fire and water
when they encounter each other
touch
connect
erupt
into
their exquisite
cosmic dance.
