i am, but half a bird

exhaustion takes over the mind, the dew falls onto my lexicon,
i feel "a free bird would have been strangled".
but i was still adrift, for i was never free.
a manja string holds onto my left foot...tightens at every attempt of freedom i make.

they make fun of me, my friends they do.
they say, "what bird is a bird if he cant fly. he has not known the joy".
oh yes i have, for "i was born free".

up up and away

is a name but a name? has it not the power to relentlessly show the way.

a name is not but a name...i have seen it sway

the rose is synonymous to itself, me to me.  

i define beauty with spirit, not in relation to ugly.

is my name just a name? did he send it to me?

is my name her's too? did i know we were to meet?

is her name my destiny? the cloud which roams the land?

is my name the lightening? the stroke that lights up the sky?

is her name not mine? is she not me?

my cheek dents; the left,  as i smile...

yet her's; the right knows glee!

my pursed lip looks distorted, 

i pursue 

i break open the barrier, and still wonder which way to move

my mind afloat on that grain of straw

the body unable to swim.

if she is not me

i am not her.

but still i see

a fish or a log, fly across the sky...

DID WE LOOK AWAY...???

she walked in, i was looking away,
i spied on her, she looked away.
i bit my lips, i wish she was looking away,
i saw her fondle her hair, i wished i could look away.
her eyes met mine, i certainly did not look away,
she peeped into her bag, trying to look away.
a smile curled her lips, i knew she did not look away.
my friends hooted in my ear, i looked away
my cheeks turned red, i peeped and looked away
i fiddled with the spoon, she would not look away
my eyes split apart, there was nothing to look away
she slowy left her chair, oh i wish she would not look away
i followed her steps, not wanting to look away;
i grabbed her heart, not letting her look away...!!!

a home of starts. a bower of lights. i grew and i blew. the shadows will always be my highlight.

Me and You

I love you for it is you...

I see the very soul of you when you smile at me...

The light that falls on your face and the thought of love which enlightens my very existence...

The voice penetrates me like never before...

There was never a day I didn’t look into my heart and spell your name

You peeped into my soul and knew no other could do so...

The touch as your hand slid slowly into mine and caressed my fingers...

The moment your skin brushed against mine...

I felt my heart surrender and my soul cave

The concreteness of my birth and my belief in existence stood tall.
