The Spectacles

Putting on the specs
To see the spectacles
It’s expected though
Socially fermented dough
People are sceptical, oh
They only see the septic world, no?

Everything seems so critical
Where everyone appears cynical
Striking innocents surgical
Wiping meanings clinical
Tweaking noise’s decibel
To make it sound logical

Cooking lies by chopping the raw
Growing fear by watering the hoax
Labelling dope as the antidote
Scripting wars on the storyboard
Polluting zones with pure ego
Twisting hope to a deadly rope

Pancakes

On my kitchen floor I stand still
A thought appears at a normal bandwidth
When I start mixing the fine flour with
Eggs, salt, beer & some oat milk
To make batter for the pancakes
While I tune-in to some old tracks

But I’m sure you can already sense that
It’s not about cooking golden brown pancakes
I’m simply shaking the manmade pain can
Without triggering the vapours escape my brain cells
It’s my way to ‘handle with care’ the fragile caged self
It’s to pencil the portrait of my shaded landscape

Pain & I know each other better than the pen-friends
We used to play hide & scream quite often back then
That led to fluctuating beat underneath the bare chest
There were times when we used to play the game of plain chess
The swift moves we framed on those black & white squared shapes
To win the battle through defence / attack in a split splash

Didn’t know I was battling against myself through those matches
The Pawn, Knight, Bishop, Rook, Queen & King were my own images
I realized it was never about winning, losing or those checkmates
The key was to keep myself in check with acceptance at a mindful pace
Coz I know, there will always be pain in one or the other way
But there will also be love in several forms in this Milky Way

By the way, I wasn’t cooking those pancakes for myself
I was flipping me to observe different dimensions in this heating process

The Deep Ocean

I see you so clear
Your sense is so real
The flow in the veins
It all feels so intense
Looking at the sky
Shaken to the very core
The beats fluctuate
The ground resonates
Listening to its tiny voice
Giving attention and warmth
Accepting it whatever it is
Irrespective of its form
Feeling weak and little broken
Wearing bare skin without layers
I am no one but an explorer
Searching myself in the deep ocean

The Russian Roulette

Being together & alone in this reality so hybrid
Mind seems noisy but heart is simply so silent
Calmness on the face in this phase too vibrant
The outside is shining while I sit in the darkness

The feeling to play the russian roulette
Those spinning chambers with single bullet
The clicking sound triggers the duet
The piercing thought tatters the fluid

The walls of this place are brightened with smoke grey
The floor of this stage has a form of deep grave
The light in this scene is glowing with high frequency
Eyes seem intense in this mind blowing game

The conscious steps are slowly revealing the unknown track
To love this magical life & to embrace the zenful pain
They both have special place in this beautiful spatial space
The path to wisdom through realizations, learnings & experiences

It was no one but me sitting in the chamber to penetrate

Spoken Word – Questioning

I recorded this video of my multicolored LED bulb…Music created in GarageBand

You can find this poem in my book – Lightning Rhymes

Questioning

Is everything changing?
Tweaking
Is the mind chattering?
Freaking
Is the body shattering?
Exploding
Is the rhyme flowing?
Phrasing
Is the rhythm beating?
Creeping
Is the ink bleeding?
Deadly
Is the colour red beets?
Dead beats
Is that beast feasting?
The Red Feast
Is the heartbeat racing?
Panicking
Is the air slowly fading?
Fainting
Is the screen getting blurry?
Sweating
Am I simply afraid?
Suffocating
Has the time stopped moving?
Lonely
Have I started reaching places?
Phases
Am I going crazy?
Frenzy
Do you get what’s happening?
Suffering
Can you sense the feeling?
Burning
Are you here to catch me?
Destiny
Are you one of those preachers?
Creatures
Do you come from the shadows?
Light
Is this all a part of me?
Questioning

Formless Trees

I’m gliding high with colourful birds on either side
Freestyling on the fly with my broadened wing size
Airing natural rhymes in an infinitely open sky
Holding ball of fire with calmness in my fluid eyes
Beaming rays of light through the shiny translucent blinds

Bleeding diamonds once felt like the breaking point
Shockwave was running into me when I was paralyzed
Countless spots in my shell suffocated me numerous times
Realized one day that steep falls were designed to slowly rise
I’m able to see that patterns & forms aren’t the real I

The gorgeous beauty of the moon in the magical night
Walking on partly visible path in the now is pure enlightenment
The spiritual energy is creating the magnetic ocean tides
Unknown depths I’m reaching when I tune in to inner shine
The new sides I’m sensing when I keep redying to be alive

Transforming cutthroat screams to the meaningful voice
Sanding inner wall that was clayed with layered noise
Dissolving deeper scars with the mindful sacred silence
Blowing on greyish site to ignite sparks of life
Manifesting formless trees on the naked & barren soil
