Sometimes my screen freezes instantly with slippery breeze of swirling intense seas & then it seems that I’m firmly sealed in this patented Rubik’s C made of patterned cubical bricks where I skip some beats when I forget to simply breathe due to high latency of my wired screams as I’m letting scenes of those caged memories to run through my tears where I fall as leaves in my sleepless dream coz I can’t fall asleep

What does music mean to me? What’s the rhythm & melody? What’s the meaning of its lyrics? What’s the depth & its beauty?
It’s like when the blood in my veins is playing the riffs When the heart of mine is thundering drum beats When the eyes of mine blink the hi-hat When the brain of my self is synthesizing & compiling the different sounds
Silence is the lyrics that I write for this unique song Deep voice I possess to sing my own lyrics It’s blowing the self away & melting down the lead in me It’s pushing me beyond my own untested & untrusted limits
Lightness & Darkness are the effects I use on my sound stage & screen Connecting with my inner audience, which was once forgotten behind my scene I’m lost in this divine music that unites me with the energy of the unseen This is the salient sound of my inner music

We dream love We bleed love We breathe love But still it seems so We miss love We seek love Not everyone is being loved Coz we forget in the thick rush That love has always been within us

I’m humbled, deeply touched & honoured by sharing this amazing, beautiful & heartfelt review with you, of Lightning Rhymes by Pragalbha Doshi, of Infinite Living of my debut book – Lightning Rhymes…I’m filled with the feeling of WOW…what a way Pragalbha has written this review…a profound gift to me…my gratitude to you, Pragalbha ✨🙏✨
“Navin Manik’s poetry and poetic prose give us glimpses of the kind afforded only to the one who is touched to the core of their soul and then allowed to return to surface. I am overwhelmed with appreciation for how present his words are to the moment-to-moment flow of life from inside out, through, and through.
Lightening Rhymes is a treasure to hold in my hand, as I read page after page. This is the poetry of the kind that comes unannounced and breaks one open, one by one, or perhaps seals one back, one by one, depends how we look at it. I recognize all those themes and spaces from where, as if a triumphant mourning happens through poetry as each one trickles out of our being – Navin does all of it absolutely exquisitely. His poems are an experience of a Fullness of Nothingness that moves within into a stillness – very impactful in written and spoken form. They are brilliant expressions of the stark experiences of our inner world.
It feels a great contentment for the gift of Navin’s poetry, with such unique rhythm and incredible beauty, to be out in the world.”

I don’t know what I’m writing while I’m riding on these high & heavy waves coz it feels as if I’m the riot dressed as the dark knight that’s dicing the dark night into the liquid black diamonds to create this crazy environment that appears quite obnoxious as it starts to simply sparkle by the quiet flow of several mercury droplets that are dripping in line on quite uneven ground & merging together to form the contrasting soundless choir
I then choose to close my red eyes to empty this glass filled with edgy violence so I can make some space & listen to the storm of frozen silence that I breathe when I sit on the pilot seat in my once bled brainless but sharp carbon steel mind to take this very long turbulent flight to the figure eight shaped infinite to reach this place somewhere in between darkness & daylight where I start to flip the tinted & blurred slides under the flickering but intense light on this unknown street to reveal this crowded scene of real life

Darkness and Light Are they states of mind? Light in Darkness Darkness in Light Is it so black & white?
Diving in the Darkness In the womb of Mother Earth To find the safe haven To die and rebirth Where formless is the very Form And timeless is the only Time Darkness in Light What a pure delight
Amidst Thunder and Storm Where the dark Skies roar The inner Volcano is about to explode The blaze of Lightning Penetrates deep in the Heart To burn the Light To show the true path
The power, the beauty, the wildness It is the crazy dance of Light & Darkness

Listen to your inner voice Sense the gut feeling The intuition It is the deepest and purest voice It is the voice of wisdom Try not to give attention to the voice of fear The voice of pain-body Turn down the volume of the mind Talking to you constantly Telling you what to and what not to do It will eat away the very essence of you Let it go and breathe freely Don’t let the anxiety control the flow of air Open the doors of higher sense perception Listen to the heart WYBIWYSIWYG What You Believe Is What You See Is What You Get Know yourself well Be your true friend Self-love is the key Don’t be afraid of falling There’s always a curled learning Even dark has light Connecting with silence is not being quiet Being vulnerable is not the weakness… …Was the conversation between I and mySelf

You know I can’t rap But I want to make a wordwrap And add a pinch of cRap So it’d look kinda eWhack Do you get what you’re about to snack? No, I ain’t smoking no crack
I know this all sounds so bad You’re thinking wtf I am at Isn’t today’s rap sound something like that? There’re only 5 lines that you can count on one hand Playing those lines with auto-tuned voice is the new trend And then they focus on the flashy video to simply distract But it’s all just in their head if they think they got the swag
I’m just sitting on my couch & thinking about Where’s the depth & why am I listening to this sound? They’re missing the lyrics, the rhyming, the hook & the fluid flow I hear no bars & there aren’t no signs of sharp claws You see I don’t need to hit pause on their slow moving train Rewind & then playback, to catch what they just said They’re just mumbling, I don’t get why they say they can rap Pure hip-hop is real-raw, it has nothing to do with mumble-noise
