All I want to do is to run away.
Away from the noise-
And all the madness,
Engulfing my mind-
Into a tornado of chaos,
Where nothing makes sense.

Alas, I can't.
I stay there feeling numb,
The world muted around me,
The silence around me-
Mocking the constant chatter,
Which I fail to cease in my mind.

That's when I realize,
No matter how far I run away,
I can't escape my mind.

-

feel at peace.
Like the entire universe has slowed down,
From carrying the burden of the day.
Like the clock starts ticking slower,
In a daze of tranquility.
Like the waves of the sea have subsided,
Mesmerized by the moon shining above.
Like the world has come to a standstill,
And even the leaves are silent,
Like the serenity just before the storm,
That would ravage it all.

-

The one whose smell I remember,
But whose name I can't recall.
You're like that flower,
The one that's everywhere,
But still nowhere to be found.
You're like that flower,
The one that grows through the rocks,
The one that doesn't let the storm uproot it.
You're like that flower,
The one that reminds me,
Of the spirit of life..

A half and a full..
Neither together, nor apart..
Lying somewhere in between..
Never knowing the next step..

A half and a full..
Neither here, nor there..
Hanging between the worlds apart..
Never knowing whether to let go or hold on...

A half and a full...
Neither friends, nor lovers..
Dangling on the prepice -
Perplexed between fantasy and reality..
Never knowing whether it's a yes or no..

A half and a full..
With blurred and vague boundaries...
That's where we lie..
In between a half and a full..

-

To go back to my safe heaven...
To just lie down and not have to think about the consequences..
To just sit at the window sill with a book while the rain pours down..
To leave my home to explore the world...
To get up in the morning without the baggages of the past...
I need a break to live my life...

There is Family...

-

Thunder it was...
The way you burst into my life...
Brightened it up...
Just for a milli second...
Creating an illusion-
Of light and happiness...
Then shrouding it all,
In darkness like my heart...
Creating a reverie of...
Happiness as the rain would pour...
Just a blinding flash of hope-
Bringing it all to light...
Then veiling it all into darkness...
With a gloomy cloud cover of despair...
Just an illusion...
A Game of the mind...
Of playing with hearts...
Drenching them in thought of the rain...
And then starving them for love...
As the rain never falls...
Indeed thunder it was-
The way you disappeared from my life...
Without a trace, without a sign...
Just like the thunder in the forlorn sky...

-

How tragic it is...
That love and hurt go hand in hand...
That only the person-
We truly love and care for...
Has the power to hurt us...
A wound so deep that no medicine can heal...
As remainder a scar it always leaves...
An ache that severs the heart..
Into rough jagged pieces...
Indeed how sorrowful it is...
That love is the cause of our grief...

-

go back to my safe heaven called 'family'...

Sometimes just a picture says it all...
