The Rhapsody

Up is the energy
Down goes the insanity
Brain is a tapestry
Tangible is the tragedy
Right is the travesty
Words don’t write poetry
Flow is the rhapsody
Demons live till eternity
Fire melts the rigidity
Ashes reveal the clarity
Storm is pure serenity
Directness is true modesty
Unknown is the reality
Universe levitates in duality

My Transparent Cloth

I’m sitting silently in the magical dark
Looking outside through the spotless glass
The sky is sparkling with the burning stars
Staring closely at my special past
The slow digging of my several scars
The scene is deep & kind of vast
The slo-mo movie of my own thoughts
The daunting effect of those shaky clouds
The infinite number of terrifying falls
A few were undoubtedly my flawless flaws
At some places I was dented & falsed
But back then I didn’t use the mental floss
So the holes started to constantly form
A few shallow & some deeper slots
The unbearable pain in my heavy heart
Back then I couldn’t see me in my own orbs
I was scared to stand for myself, tower tall
Low in confidence would make me hold my talk
The suppressed energy was my opaque wall

After several years, a unique sensation in my block
As if I had found the key to my deadbolt lock
My eyes could see through my formless soul
The vulnerable moment was so crazy strong
Cleansing began instantly through the salty drops
My heartbeat weighed less than a single pound
Time was holding its breath & simply paused
Coz it was the first time I felt who I truly was
The sensation can’t be described in any words
It’s the new beginning with a roaring sound
Finally I understood the meaning of constant falls
It’s purely them who paved this unknown path
The one that I wholeheartedly crawl & walk
The great importance of the past in the now
These learnings I carry from dusk till dawn
The intuition is guiding me to mindfully evolve
I can now see the resemblance of stars & scars
Scars are the translucent tattoos I wear with proud
Light & dark are innate fabrics of my transparent cloth

Trust

You see, trust is not just a simple word
Without it, belief loses its true worth
Without T, it’s just red-brown corrosive rust

I’ve been blessed with this ability to unearth
It’s the moment when I was actually re-birthed
I became a bit brain-less and somewhat dirt

Intuition guides me to listen to the unsaid words
It’s when energy of communication stops matching the hertz
It’s when there’re too many doubts under the surface of hurt

This way trust will never rise like a serene surge
This way true love within can not be searched
One day the inner & outer vibes need to merge

I know it isn’t easy to rebuild trust if it’s broken more than once
But just don’t dwell in the stories that mind replays to reverse
Try to connect with the nature of action & reaction of verbs

And if it is still crazy difficult to truly trust
Then atleast be honest than to keep throwing the curves
Coz what’s inside matters more than the sugarcoated-crust

Trust is the foundation of any solid bond in the Universe
Family, friends, partner, pets, nature or work
Without trust, there can never be respect, openness or love


👉 This is solely my pov…am not trying to define or prove anything…everyone has their reasons to trust or not to trust…and if it’s difficult to trust a person for any reason, at least be honest & vocal about it…gather the courage to say that as it is…coz that person deserves to know it…it will only be fair to both parties…

The Sick Book

The alarming trick to tiptoe
On the brink of a breakthrough
The rugged texture with a slick look
The sharp edges of the sick book
The delicate pages that I flip through
The hammering story seems so dreadful
But it’s as pure as the deep truth
The raw obsidian from the red flow
Naked eyes can’t simply see through
It dawned on me when I flicked zoom
So I seized the moment with a click tool
Coz these spots aren’t just dead zones
There is life in them that breathes Om
Dark & Light are equally spiritual


Enjoy the Instagram version…I took this beautiful video of the sunset at Bornholm. A serene island of Denmark

Fireworks

A unique composition of tiny matters
Tightly packed in a labeled container
Dancing spark triggers animated reaction
Liftoff in a matter of a crazy short duration
Unknown height of uncontrolled levitation
Piercing the clouds of smoking dimension
Fireworks in the sky with a deafening explosion
Observing this scene in super slow motion
A swirling pattern is the new revelation
Unleashing sacred demon in Universal creation


To me, sacred demon is a zen master of different kind…this kind can be found in the pain-body, illness, suffering, difficult moments, imbalance or anything else of that sort…the whole perspective changes when one comes in contact with it…

Sacred demon is guiding me to…

  • look deeper…
  • observe & learn…
  • walk slower than the slowest if needed…
  • have a mindful approach…
  • take one breath at a time & forget about the rest…
  • appreciate the value of every word & step…
  • appreciate what I have at present than to focus on what I could have
  • see the beauty of this life

That’s the purpose of sacred demon in my eyes…but one has to “pay” to see this way…to reach this place…it’s crazy difficult at times but it’s not impossible if one is determined…this is how I see it…if I were seeing it as just a demon, then the whole story would be different…coz then it would simply “eat” me alive in no time…

Public Service

Some politicians perform certain kind of public service where they dice & serve food to people

This food is tender not firm, well done & sometimes smoked and quite unique for the buds

These people take some time to realize their size is significantly minimized. It’s them who’ve been sliced & diced

Such politicians make people chew each other for their own benefit. This is how they serve. Cannibalism of a different type

Welcome to CHIMPANZEE TV (My son’s YouTube Channel)

So here’s a different kind of sharing…it’s related to my younger son, Sofus-Samir…he has been passionate about 2 things…Animals & Fortnite…these days, it’s not so much Fortnite though…the main reason of Balou (the labrador dog) & Zorro (the cat) + some other cats previously joining our family is Sofus…he has always been attached to animals…

Since the past 3 months, he’s been going to Copenhagen Zoo to meet chimpanzees…yeah, chimpanzee family is his passion & love…he’s in the zoo 4-5 times a week…he feels home when he’s over there…one day, he wants to be a chimpanzee care taker…Sofus has been taking videos & photos at the Zoo…we, the parents are doing the same coz we find it interesting as well…the Zoo personnel knows him & the Chimp family recognize him…he communicates with them & observes how they behave…Sofus knows each & every chimp, including their individual personality….we thought why not support his passion & take it to the next level…why not share the pictures & videos with the rest of the world…why not let him grow his passion the way he wants to…why not tell his story…so, we’ve created his own YouTube channel last month…CHIMPANZEE TV—> youtube.com/@chimpanzee-tv

It’s been growing rapidly & we’re happy to see that people from all over the world are taking interest & subscribing to his channel…Just a few days ago, we created Instagram handle as well—> @chimpanzeetv_ 

If you have a kid in the family, who likes chimps &/or if you like them as well, then please do visit his YouTube Channel…the videos speak for themselves…please support Sofus by subscribing to his channel & whichever other ways you can…please spread the word to your friends & family if possible…it would mean a lot to him & of course, to me & the whole family…every single drop of your effort is highly appreciated 🙏✨❤️💫

The Backstory / Caption

Our younger son, Sous-Samir was diagnosed with Autism in 2019…today he’s 11 year old but when he was younger, he used to have bigger meltdowns…coz we, the parents & the previous preschool and school weren’t able to understand and handle his behaviour…we and the professionals around him didn’t have enough knowledge & guidance back then…later my wife and I found out that he has a PDA profile of autism as we started to observe him more & read about that type…it gave us much better understanding of the kiddo…and why previous autistic pedagogy had failed… luckily today we are in a much better place, but the early years has left its mark on him, making it difficult for him to overcome his fear of demands (PDA), particularly in a school context…

After a year of going to a public school with a small class for autist children and several traumatic experiences of retention, he ended up refusing going to school…and after a year at home, he was offered a special school for autistic children…however, this wasn’t easy for him either, like entering the premises…to be in the class room was close to impossible…the school tried everything they possibly could for more than a year but unfortunately, it didn’t work out well…they didn’t have expertise in PDA…but the municipality still kept forcing us & the school that he must continue…

The tussle with municipality started…several meetings with them, the consultants, psychologists etc…the municipality decided to send the kiddo to another school (chosen by them) with worse setup than the previous school…We did visit the school & talked with the principal & the personnel coz we wanted to give it a chance…even the principal of that school meant, they didn’t have the competence in PDA & it’s not the right choice…but the municipality didn’t care…they were still forcing us…so we lodged a complaint against them around one year back…The Danish Supervisory Board (Ankestyrelsen in danish), who was supposed to take the decision, had forgotten our case & we heard from them after one year…finally the decision came, where they had asked the municipality to reopen the case, check everything properly, take the decision & contact us…But in this back & forth tussle with the municipality, 4 years of Sofus’ potential school life has been lost…He has asked us several times why he simply can’t go to a school just like the other kids…it’s quite a difficult question, you know…he gets sad & angry at times coz the kiddo misses school, especially the school mates part- the companionship…

Last year, we were interviewed by a journalist…a couple of articles were then published in the local newspaper about Sofus…it’s to share Sofus’ story & to share how badly the municipality was handling our & several other cases…perhaps, due to pressure from the management – cost cutting structure…whatever it may be, it has taken away so many years & a lot of energy…and not to forget, this all has given stress…

On 10th June, we were informed that the municipality is still recommending the same school…that school choice was the result, we lodged our first complaint…so nothing new has come out from their side…this is crazy frustrating, disappointing & we’re quite shaken…the kiddo is very sad & angry…he was showing those emotions verbally & as if he were an alpha chimp…the whole 2024 will be gone in this tussle…we’ll be lodging a new complaint…the fight continues…sighs…

However, we strongly believe whatever happens, it happens for a reason…the Universe has its own plan…and while leaning into that trust, we will support his passion for animals as much as we can…and hope you will support him too by subscribing to his YouTube channel and/or following him on Instagram…thank you very much for reading this far and for your love, support & care ✨💜💫

Morphine

Wounds visible on surface
37 metal staples my piercing
Projection displays millipede
4 times per 86400 seconds
45 days on morphine
Forcing relief in bloodstream
Tipsy my sole sense
Eyes open still dreaming
Memories haunting simply
Screaming sighs of lonely
Whispering words with no gain
Scratching glass of craving
Tearing apart my raw skin
Bleeding river but no pain
Inner beast roaring
Body burning no flames
Letting go with no claims
New energy breathing
Flying high with no wings
Black & white my true zen
Scars slowly healing
Marks surely breathing
Am I morphing into the dope thing?


Just yesterday, I had to take doc prescribed morphine after my working hours coz of unbearable pain of some different kind in my knees & shins…so, I was kinda drowsy-high afterwards…it reminded me of the time when I had to take it for 45 continuous days after the knee surgery last year…my physiotherapist told me this morning that one experiences such pain once in a while…it’s quite normal to have it but it’s intense…this poem birthed from my high time yesterday…

I times 2 is U

Sometimes being a broken fool covered in scratches gifted by the edgy pool paints us to the hue of crazy good coz we then tend to zoom in to the wounds that we consciously start to sew with the pointed needle holding the lengthy loop of healing but it hurts when the eye of this I shaped tool pierces the raw surface which is bleeding the transparent blues but by doing so the holes in this dotted zone bring us sooner or later closer to the I times two which looks like the letter U of this magical Universe that we try to keep aligned inside with the heavy tunes of pure love

Spoken Word Poetry – Speechless I Became

PLEASE PUT SOUND ON 🔊
Do try headphones / earbuds for immersive effect

Just over a month ago, I was experimenting to create a new tune…I simply liked the initial sound…so I kept adding some more tracks intuitively, to give it some texture…it was only recently I realized that this beat & a piece that I wrote back then are actually made for each other…My Very First Poem – Speechless I Became…I was feeling this crazy need to express my state of Being, so I wrote this poem…I had never tried to write a single line before…it was the beginning of the next chapter in my life – this poetic journey…

The beat found the piece for this spoken word & they together created the energy that made me choose these photos…they’re telling a story…nothing was planned beforehand…I never do when it comes to poetry…and the amount of time I’ve used is…well……but I really enjoyed every single moment…

The background music is created, mixed & mastered in GarageBand.
