My Barrel

“Explosions & explosives 
Forget & forgive them
Put an end & archive it”…
… Is what I hear when I said it
Simply don’t IM me coz here I M standing

So you think I’m looking daggers?
Would boil everything til it vapours 
Then you didn’t get it right 
It was never about the fight 

If I did not fire it out
It would’ve burnt me inside out 
Now don’t even try to get me wrong 
I didn’t fire to burn them down

But if you want me to pretend
Everything is simply perfect ten
Then let’s live the fake lives
Live the lie & put on the smiles

So should I now start to think?
Before the paper gets my ink 
But then it won’t be the same
I don’t believe in prefab frame

If I can’t see myself in my eyes
What’s the point of sun & sky?
That stone in the ocean is an average five
But it still lives its purest life

Why to live the life from the shallow?
When the bones are full of marrow
You see, life is everything but narrow 
Here I am spreading the ink from my barrel

My Dearest Mom

There was this night so quiet & dark 
When I got up from my sleep with the twitchy spark
It was a dream of my beloved mother with me
Everything about it felt intense & so real
If she were alive, I would surely have given her a kiss
Now hear me out as the dream goes like this

She went out to attend some family party
But she came back disturbed & she had lost her sari
The next thing I noticed was quite bizzare
She was trying to park outside her little car 
But she had trouble parking it the way we call right
She looked quite disturbed & wasn’t alright
This truck was waiting & giving her some space
But she was so frustrated & wanted her own place in space
She simply then kicked her car to park it right at the spot
It seemed as if her car was made of some thin board

I was standing by the window & was watching this all
She said people were brutal, they made fun & took her sari off 
As if she were insane & was out of her very own mind 
Humiliation & tears, she was suffocated at that time
She wanted me to go with her to the same hell party 
To tell them she’s not alone & she ain’t no patsy
I said no & took mummy inside our home
All I wanted was to protect her & to give her a quiet zone

I woke up in a shock from my so intense dream
I was all shaken & saddened to the deepest of the deep
My mother was suffering clearly in that unusual scene
She was in pain & I think she wanted also to scream
I felt her presence & the pain as if it’s of my own
All I wanted to tell her – I’m right here, you are not all alone
Those people were no strangers but blood related of her own
Tears in eyes, she’s with me even though her body is gone
I love you…I love you, oh my dearest mom

Happy b’day my dearest

So many years have passed by

You are still present by my side

The true reason of change in me

Is your sacred heart setting me free

Never thought to have this life

You are the one, you my wife

My heart simply melts down to its core

The way our beautiful kids say “min mor”

The shine in your big blue eyes

Say everything, there are no lies

The passion you are my dearest

Is the heart that beats in the chest

Today’s the day you were born

Happy birthday my love, it’s time to reborn

Fading bonds

It’s time to unfold the untold story
Everything appears so green from your storey
If you dare come down from the cloud fake glory
You would see the red drops cover ground gory

Now get ready to smell some indecent scent I prepared
It would shake you to show the things you did back then
You were that big bro who weren’t really ever present
All you cared was percent & some extra cents
Did you ever care of the li’l one that love (God) sent?
It didn’t matter how far & how you lived back then
If you could simply unfold your arm & extend
But you would never feel her sorrow & the pain she felt
So here I stand & spread the ink to paint this picture
Sensing it’ll one day make a deep & permanent imprint in you

You & I belong to the same old family
But could you first explain this term we call family?
Where the bills mattered more than the family bonds 
You didn’t even hesitate taking your siblings’ funds
As if your own big plate wasn’t full enough 
All you cared was to stuff the greens under the rug
I can still see that picture where you played that thug
“Feed the greed” was indeed what you did
But no complaint ever, her lips were always sealed
And then you say blood relations matter the most, huh?

You see, family is simply a useless tag
If you demote the love & emote, then what is left? 
But one day you would realize, you did make some bad choices
When karma would hit you & won’t make no noise
“What you sow is what you reap” can’t be denied
You still have some time to make it right 
But oh no, it’s too late coz your li’l sis ain’t alive

And before I go, hear this one last thing
If you did not live & if you did not mean
Then why the stories & why you pretend?
Live from your heart & love from there
This is the beginning of the very end

Reflections

It’s all started coming back to me
It’s like watching a movie on tele
This tv is nothing but my heart you see
It’s sending the pictures of you & me

The Hero, The Comedian & The Villain you seem
Sitting on the surface of thin skin you wear
They push the buttons to make you feel
The one that you think you wish to be

But is it that reality you want to breathe?
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly is so cheasy
The role of your existence is way milky
The ground you stand on is not shaky

Now rewind all over to watch it again
Give full attention & just do not scan
Dig a bit deeper under that sensitive skin
This time you’ll notice how it all began

Wear the glasses to see that dimension
The God, The Lover & The very Being we mention
The brightest star of the heavy production
The DNA of this beautiful creation
Is all within you beyond sense perception
Close your eyes & sense the deepest relation
Finding yourself is self realization
It’s you & me and our sacred reflections

My Halloween

I’m about to jot

Which might sound bitter & odd

But I’m gonna say it anyway loud

What’s it all about?

Get ready to find out

No, it’s jut not a thought I sprout

I feel this crazy need

To tell & simply scream

It’s not that I’m mean

And I don’t want to demean

But it seems like a theme

No, it’s not halloween

I’ve been trying to win the fight

Against this force that holds me tight

It makes me lose the clear sight

And I can’t see the burning light

As if I’m entangled in the dark night

No, it’s not the scary & secluded site

I hear & it seems

Something is living in me

And it keeps controlling

The way I’m breathing

As if I’m stuck inside of me

The air is not flowing free

It feels that I’m dying

No, I’m not feeling pity & crying

And if that wasn’t enough

The turf is now quite rough

All I want is to punch it so tough

And to hit it with a spinning curve

To break open the skies to tears

No, it’s not about being fierce

Before you even wonder

No need to even ponder

It’s my inside thunder

Perhaps the moments of wander

Try to visualize this picture

No, It’s not about my blunders

Amidst this chaos & pollution

Everything is dissolving in the solution

Self revelation & manifestation

Evolution of true creation

Compassion & affection

No, it was never about the man made diversion

The only way is to look deeper

The only moment is neither past nor future

The only I is the eye of wisdom

The only truth is the eternal love

The only God is the love you are

So take off the costume to be that life

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 noone but an explorer

Searching myself in the deep ocean

When I close my Eyes

Closing my eyes

To sense the darkness

Projections from the heart

So clear and bright

Melting me down

I slowly disappear

The moment of lessness

Most beautiful craziness

Stumbling on my way

In search of no-thing

Keep falling apart

Loosing my breath

The old wish to die

I keep holding it tight

My heart is bleeding

Screaming to let it go

Patterns are not me

I keep telling myself

It’s time to die

To live from the deep

The imprint of that life

I see it clear

When I close my eyes
