Secondary Heart

Still remember the day
When your love walked off
Leaving you alone, crying
You confused and wondering
What went wrong?
You felt betrayed,
You felt cheated
You had loved purely
So you thought
And she also claimed
Pious was her heart.
But was it true love,
Have you ever thought?

For wasn’t the mind asking,
What next? Where do you go?
How do you keep her with you?
What if she would go?
Many if’s, many why’s, many what’s
The mind kept playing truant
You schemed, you planned,
how to get her to be yours?
Relations, boundaries, expectations
these started to grow
And then you wondered,
Cried like a baby,
How did this happen?
How could she go?

But my friend,
The truth that you ignored
True love flows from the heart
sans the might of mind
But in the world of man
The mind is the king,
he plays the primary part
And true love cannot flow,
from a secondary heart.

Clouds

Everyday I stare out of the window
at those dark clouds
that seem ever so static,
stubborn and stoic,
Dark, ugly, threatening.

And they stare back at me
An equal vigour, but
with the satirical smile
as if echoing everything bad
present in my life
They threaten me, i am overwhelmed
They gather strength, i feel weaker
I try to see beyond,
but their density blocks,
the slimmest light ray possible.
The more I stare,
the denser they get.
The hopes of seeing the sunshine
Diminish by the second
Till i look closer and realize
The clouds are moving,
Slowly, ever so slowly.......

My Life

abra dabra dum dum
chin chin pum pum
blah bluh chiki chow
owan kuan chai che
bow dow pow show
da di da di da di dum

Words these......
meaningless, senseless, rhythmless
thoughtless, loveless, dreamless
Mirroring......
my LIFE!!!!
