Did u ever ?


Did you ever feel the touch of nature?
the kiss of rain or
the caress of the wind?


Did you ever bathe in the morning sun?
lose yourself in the colours of dawn
or try to break away and run?

Did you ever catch eternity?
try to play with time,
or look beyond reality?

If you've tried any one of this,
you've cherished a tiny wish,
to answer the biggest question of all,
what's the purpose to this life and
why humans dream at all...

As the pages of time flip
and water droplets slowly drip
words get washed away
to new stories giving way...

The curious incident of the cat in the night time


He walks in silence down the sidewalk, in deep thought, digging his hands into the enormous pockets of his overcoat. He looks behind, over his shoulder every now and then, as if expecting to see someone creeping up quietly. There are worry lines, on his forehead, creases that have formed over the years. He’s not worried now, but they remain, permanent marks on his face. A cat walks in front of him, an easy, sinewy gait. He eyes it with suspicion; he begins to quicken his pace. The cat walks on, not bothered by his footsteps that are closing in on it. He walks behind, now getting worried, those creases deepen and a drop of sweat appears on his forehead. The cat continues to be unbothered. The sweat drop trickles into the first of the creases. Suddenly the cat stops. The sweat drop freezes in transit, between the second and third creases. His eyes dart in all directions and fix on the cat.

Ever so slowly the cat turns around. Looks him in the eye. His eyes flicker for a mili second but he’s not about to give up. He stares hard, burning his gaze into its eyes. The cat begins to look bored, but he sees an evil grin beginning to form. He’s all set; today he’ll finish the story once and for all.

The cat opens in mouth, as if to say something wise, but only a meow comes out. He lets out a war cry and lurches forward (this scene is in slow motion)
He’s running with his coat flying like a cape behind, the cat’s expression changes from boredom to evil indifference to surprise and fear. It skillfully prances on its hind legs, and tiptoes away like a ballet dancer, while the man is in mid air. Arms flying madly, mouth open in determination first, and then as the situation changes, in mere stupidity. Now the cat has moved away and watches from the view of a spectator as the man tries desperately to break his inevitable fall with hopeless antics. But gravity shall not be defied. It draws him closer with open arms and he reciprocates in a similar manner. They meet with a dull thud. A few stars form above his head and a couple of tiny birds join in. one comet whizzes past.

The cat has vanished. The man remains loyal to gravity for what seems like an eternity. Slowly he gets up, dusts himself and looks around. No witnesses. Good.
He walks slowly and disappears into a dark alley. This is not over.

Eternity

The magic of being free
and a part of eternity,
puts a spell on me,
creating new reality,
dancing specks of dust in sunlight,
turns the wrong into the right,
for there's a magic in nature's eyes,
engulfing all of creation in unbound ties.

Gypsy Dreams


Discovered a connection with the gypsy lore,
set out in the world to explore,

Mortality tied the body down,
but my spirit soared to heights unknown,
there's the whole globe to trot,
and to rest, a secluded spot.

Drink deep from a hidden spring,
listen to the birds sing,
intoxication of mountain air,
wild unkept, indian hair.

Cares blown away in the wind,
a life, a story kept locked whithin...
Freedom, so close, i can touch, i feel her breath upon my cheek,
sweet whispers, muted words, and that peace i set out to seek.
