I need poetry
Alone
distraught, lost
I fumble for words,
shallow vowels, grubby surds.
I think I need poetry.
Little abstractions, some nausea,
a fling – if you say so,
a minor fight,
bedtime story…
or may be, just some sad poetry.
Tiny mutations, and
the world turns gray, plants flower anti-flowers,
people die, and wake up in dreams,
in one huge dream – Nolan’s dream,
and nobody utters no words
and burn in word-less purgatory.
Times change,
every hour, if you insist it’s slow,
anybody can be anybody, everybody!
And nobody’s got no tales
tall or short – whatever.
I am who I am -
word groper, literary loner,
un-trailed like snowman’s feet
in heat
asking for few words, and skill
to blaze them into poetry!
I Am
I am Water.
when I languish I reflect,
when I let go I flow.
I am Sand.
I am everything you want me to be,
You need me to be.
A ship,
A lighthouse,
A castle,
A king,
A subject,
A hope,
A mirror,
A past,
A future…
A messenger,
A message.
When strained
I crumble into sand,
I get washed by the sea,
I traverse oceans and distances looking for another story,
Another tragedy,
Another drama,
Another stop,
Another comma.
I am Water, Air, Light.
Happiness, Peace, Solitude.
I am everything that reminds you of life,
All the goods,
All the bads.
