Astigmatic

Tall grass grows like tall order
in one corner of this confined space.
There, amid the flora,
is a small, tiny cavity that
opens
into a spaceless dark hole.

If you spot a telescope,
bring it to me;
I'll blow up and show you the world of nothingness -
beautiful, refreshing, comforting,
lovely, lively and un-lonely

- through my proudly possessed astigmatic vision!

Of desire!

incense fragrance
indulgence

acoustics exotics
magnetics

stormy steamy
blasphemy

conformance performance
disturbance

cold foretold
household

patronising annoying
destroying

platonic rhetoric
fantastic

nuance nonchalance
romance

quagmire perspire transpire admire
require
barbwire satire - desire!

Stars....

....carve their bright holes in the all pervasive blanket
and weld their way through the thickness of night's cover,

like little, shining thoughts that circumambulate
within the nucleus of the mind,

they touch, appeal, connect, merge,
they whisper, convince, survey, argue;

like little dots of geometry, they merge into tangibility,
and like little drops of rain, they tell you the story
of
You and Me!

An Era!

From me to the cosmos,
you've translated
the nothing that I am
into the slightly more than nothing that I think I've now become...

Like storms that stir up millions of particles
and transport them from below to slightly above
and
like peace that settles into injured lungs,
hurt on account of grief/anger/betrayal/overwhelming joy,

you've cleansed me, held me, gathered me -
from the million pieces that I am-
you've helped me look within when I really couldnt look 'without';

you've helped me -
say the unsaid
feel the unfelt and
do the undone -

from me to you - this is sheer heartfelt gratitude! :)

PS -
To my blog on my 100th blogpost! (blushing...well! I'm a nice shade of crimson now...and yes, I am taking a bow :):))....Thank You all for being there! :)

Earthworms...

...butt their heads out
and as if too contained in the strong fragrance of wet sand,
they wiggle their way out into the open
to face in-the-face thundering, earth shattering pelting;
as they get beaten in their slimy stomachs,
they whine and cry unaudible in the roaring rains.

tomorrow,
when I see those moist roads,
I see also, those earthworms,
that wiggle past me
in their new strong forms,
like snakes that have shrunk
or snakes that are slowly growing big!

In your memories....

there is a light spot of bother...

I see you you see me
I soak you you soak me
You breathe the air that I do, from where I do,
You creep into the stars of the sky and drift away to someplace you know or want to know.

I hear you say what you said when you were here to hear me
I clean up your thinking and roll down a clean napkin on the floor of your head
I sweep it gently, neatly and carefully -
before I sweep myself away, gently.

In the many many of your memories,
I spot bother beyond bother!

Enough!

I think I've had
enough
of the good
and the not so good.

whatever,
the dancing phase doesnt end,
however,
starry signs might have some meaning.

I don need to know any meaning.
I've had enough of it in the lack of it!

In between...

Between a
this
and a
that,

there's a this and a that.

Between that there's another this intercepted by another that with a this embedded inside a that and so on....

As you look at the long line
of this's and that's,
there,
right there,
at the center,
there is a this and a that
together,
united,
as one, nameless entity!

'I' Crisis!

Sometimes I think
of this and that,
read each little thing from end to end
and in my thinking,
I wonder,

what am I at the heart of it all-
anything?
everything?
or nothing?

So when I think of this and that,
I dont know if
I'm this
or
that.

Beyond me!

Like dreams?
I do.

In my reality, I make a dream
and in that dream, I let go of the real world

and like a painting,
I colour my horizons -
with turquoise on the edges,
deep white in the center,
tinges of black and beige contrasting all over -
all within the vibrance of a crimson silhouette!
