Rain

 Rain rains like rain when rain is the name and the action at the same time: and rain dissolves and disappears in rain – and it is only in rain that rain dissolves itself, it must be said when clouds are plain busy wandering around the skies

There when it rains there is no new rain like there is no old rain too – when it rains, it’s just rain – and when one gets busy with the time that rain is born drawing planetary positions on the little leaves on trees with faces blank as paper one gets a sense of rain old and rain new, but still raining now as rain and that’s all there is

New rain wears monochrome masks of moments and memories before it disappears in old rain and all that remains in the end, is just rain that rains

When the rain of every time, age and lives of the past and the future hide, reside in falling droplets of rain that rains now (with invisible, naturally nonexistent lines separate rain old from rain new), endlessness of time does a few steps of joyous tap-dance on the roofs of the world (like the hooves of dream horses that run past lines on the map of infinity)

[Every story untold or unwritten falls with every falling droplet of rain along with all the stories of every falling droplet of rain, hiding in its silence]

Rains disappear, but never forgotten, always changing from this to that and in the end only to return to what it was when everything began – rain rains

38

some days
last a lifetime

some weeks
are seven years long

a life time - less
than years thirty and eight

the end
is a little less than a second

dreams last
only till he wakes up

the dreams last
only till he falls asleep

unruled

bound unruled white paper
notebooks
four rupees a piece, for no rules -
rest all
have at least 25 lines on their faces
page after page!
but these new ones where the faces are
loosely bound to the
spine - have no rules at all, and they say
it is immoral to be so, free love.
that is me. that is us. that is how
we and the things are.
who do they think they are? endless and immortal? not me
oh no. never.

black and yellow

  black and yellow
       (oh hi, hello!)
as on a banana peel
            the way they can make you feel
   of yesterday and the rest of the past
                              the striking contrast 
        beautifully slippery
head to the ground, feet flippery
                       out of control too
      (ah how do                                              you do?)
                                   and the memory or shadow
  of anything yellow
                                                                      is black
(are you as yet, back?)

(a deep gray sky, almost black)

silence breaks through the walls
of yet another cold night -
(a deep gray sky, almost black)
'what worth was it?' - the
question uttered, echoing
in unison - a million silent voices
inside a million turbulent minds - cutting
through the surrounding stillness
of the night with hopes, almost
greedy - that the question is only
one's own and none else's.

the night stills itself further
strengthening every secret belief -
'it's only me that feels this way'
while the song of every soul
is just the same, only in a
different tongue. some do it
with a hiss and some with a
sigh. silence freezes and hardens
itself around every thought and
every question.
(the deep gray sky, almost black)

D (II)

a zen like detachment
is only a third person view
of things - he, she, it and them

let's just pretend -
it's their business anyway

song

one says left and the other, right
one says day and the other, night

one says right and the other, wrong
all in all, just another song

to sing along
all day long

08 August 2010

things this and things that and two days

nick drake songs and
paper cuts and
shadow plays and
cups, cups of coffee and
carver's raw form poetry and
dead poets society and
lights, camera, action and
laughter, silly jokes and
black ink pens and
incoherent thoughts and
everything else

are'nt good and enough -
enough at all to fill up
one saturday and another
sunday!

01 August 2010

a sunday lesson and a song for fishes (please be where you should)

a lesson to lessen the blessed breed of almost everyone -
can only say once or twice at times, but dealing with the lessons
is only up to everyone.

for all you know and all that think you know
going by time that is past and the time to come, one only tends
to think if anything is worth at all.

holidays are easy with or without people or sleep
lack of either matters really not for there is enough time -
nights and a world outside waiting to be befriended.

jumped queues and assumed new positions do not really
last long for that place is not really one's own
at times it takes another to tell them or to show them.

their places, their places. wishes, may be. wishes could be
and a lesson for fishes and for birds, fallen wings
unassumingly assuming places taken are only wrong.

there is where belong the turtles. there is where
belong fishes yellow blue black green and gray
once known, fishes can and only should swim

where they should, hiding faces, stupidly opening
and closing mouths with unblinking eyes, no it's not wonder
only plain obvious stupidity that will always be.

vertigo

being is no reason
for the instability of being

week long vertigos should only stay
an easy excuse to
the instabilities of the mind
and the essential being
and the all prevailing confusions

here today gone tomorrow
there yesterday gone
today

To be or Not to be (Freud)

To dream is naturally
Alright

But to dream that
You see someone
Throw up - they say
Only means that it

Signifies false pretenses
Of people who try
To take advantage of

You

But how, I wonder?

Sense (?)

Songs and words
Cryptic poetry
Do make sense, do

Make sense

A lot and a whole
Lot of it

When you want them
Not to

Or when you expect
The least

Questions

One question can shatter
All your beliefs

Two
Can make you take a U turn
And leave you upside down

Three or more can only
Throw you against the wall
And watch you bounce off it

In glee

roller-coaster

look up
see the world go
round and round

look left
see the world go
round and round

look right
see the world go
round and round

don't turn
don't move
the world moves not

with a little movement
and a little looking around
the world is a beautiful

roller
coaster

up and away

when you think the storm
has settled down
they let their chariots loose
and roam the terrains that are
or were or will
never be theirs

you can only smash a
glass window or two

todays can take them away
and leave my tomorrows for me

if not them
at least the chariots should be gone

and their steeds

W and X, Y, Z

well
you need not finish talking
all about W
for you to reach X or Y or Z

but if W is a condition
for you to do X or Y or Z
then jumping to X or Y or Z
without talking W

would not help
but only leaves you all
bitter
in your mouths

de-ro-ma-fi

lack of an expression
or an explanation to things
say a weird thought

say a gut feel
would not nullify their presence
or negate their existence thereof

words may convey things
that are far away from what things
really are

bubbly cheerful joyous happy
words may fail
but they are not unreal

part of the nothingness

and a string of shameless lies

summer
and it rains sunshine
and a string of shameless lies

the blade is not thought of
or talked about
just hurled

statements made, protests registered
silence them all
just blame the sun

blame the son
for he is everything else but that
and waves red flags

and revolts,
revolting!

Japanese

Murakami made me buy more Japanese.
Kobo Abe and Kawabata.

Big mistake.
