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

Reblogging – Poisonous

You’re wearing this bloody sensual body suit
Your seductive eyes are big & beautiful ocean blue
Every step you take is calculated & very shrewd
You’re holding me tight in your tender arms of unbreakable loop

You’re dragging me out of my castle of haunted moods
My face is hidden under the layer of my shady & torn hood
You unhide my crown of thorns with fire of your intense look
Those piercing thorns in my head are painful but I’m keeping calm & my cool

A single kiss from the sensual & poisonous lips of yours
Makes me bleed red diamonds, while I bloom into the scene so blue
The scars on my face look scary in this surreal reality so brute
I can feel I’ll soon be running on fumes & will for sure be doomed

I spin 360 degrees to see the swirling point of view
Your bite will slowly dissolve my flesh & bones before I forever snooze
This cruel nature of yours is so seductive & very crude
This whole picture is so dark while I’m hanging on this edgy hook

This very moment I dig my ground deeper to find my roots
I only see those huge shadows in the shade of gloom
I don’t need to speak loud or write down to show you the proof
Everytime I come closer, you disappear in air with a single poof

I’m searching myself desperately inside of you
Ecstatic rush in my blood when I taste the poison in you
I’m so much in love with this poison & poisonous you
I’m flying high in my smoking to be forever with you

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

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

Projected Reflection

The most beautiful things happen
When the heart is fully open
Even in shocks & painful reality
We can find the deeper ocean
Everything has its own value
There’s no need to judge & measure
The free flow of pure energy
With that magical connection
Transforming the blurry vision
Through the spectacles so spiritual
The echo of the naked heartbeat
Is the melodious percussion
Every step on this journey
Is the sacred destination
Every word on this transparency
Is my very own projected reflection

This Beautiful Scene

Just look at this beautiful scene
Sunny beams in minus five degree C
Snow is the shiny jewel of the trees
The ground is decorated with calming tapestry
The impressions of feet can be very deep
But they will disappear one day eventually
What to lose & what to achieve
It’s never about the win or defeat
Just close or open your lids as you please
And breathe in & out this winter breeze in peace
Listen carefully to the intuition & the beat
The energy is real, it’s pure & serene
The heaven is here, it has always been
Look deep within coz you’re this beautiful scene

Enjoy the video / reel version…This beautiful video is taken by myself…
