About ‘Being’!




About ‘Being’!


The sun shines hard through my window pane, but I am cold.
The colourful spring is on its way, but to me the world is all black and white
Am I alone, even if I am with someone?
There certainly is a difference between ‘I’ and ‘us’.
Is it for me to ignore or to realise?
That I am always going to be alone in this world, even when I am surrounded by many. 

The Hands that always remains soft




The Hands that always remain soft


The Night in its full glory, so dark just as her life
A peep into her ‘Home’ - The vessels waiting for her and somebody waiting for the fresh dinner
By day transforming herself and rushing to work after the fulfilled commands
By night preparing the sumptuous dinner and then letting his naked body on top of hers
Time for a break? No way...
Early morning she must fearfully remove of what stinks, of what remains
Can he make something very elementary, like tea for example?
A mirror in front of him he must hold and slowly observe himself,
He is rotten, he is black, he is full of guilt... and his hands?
They are but of course soft and will remain so.


Of many a small things




Of many a small things 


my yellow nail paint speaks to me , 
my tooth brush tries to do the same,
i just tell them let me be,
because without you it’s not the right game.


the trees dance and so do the small twigs,
the flowers try to hold on,
of what feels like strong alchohol,the winds take too strong a swig
i wander alone , incomplete without you , through the lush green lawn.

what do i admire ?   the stars, the moon?
its not there , your intense gaze , your kiss,
the hands that hold me , its not there ... that boon..
i am longing for you ,  waiting to experience that pure bliss.

its not a poem , its the song my heart sings,
of loneliness , of separation , of many a small things.
come and hold me , come and hold me , for if you will,
tears will swell up and my heart will burst out crying... 


Just when you thought....




Just when you thought....


Taking a right turn on a busy street is no less than manoeuvring ones way within life. Pause, look here and there, and proceed carefully. But hell no! Who does that? We race the accelerator, hoping no one comes our way. Well hope is a good thing. We have succeeded several times and many a times crossed the junction trusting our instincts and trusting others instincts more so. But the law of Probability takes over and just when you thought no one was around there comes a much expensive and faster one, closely whisking past you. You have your moment thereafter, a warm jittery feeling spreading across your chest. One is a little shaky at the wheel, but survival is something you truly understood today. The feeling vanishes within 30 seconds and you start breathing polluted air at a much normal slower pace.
Cheers, cause you have survived one more day..
So there is ‘ YOU’, crossing the same old junction. Crosses it and achieves a great sense of satisfaction, only to be behind some other bum. Ah ! Finally an empty road and surprisingly a bus waiting by the sidewalk, not in the middle lane! YOU wants to go past it, go past the big fellow and just when YOU thinks he had almost done it, the bus starts to move.
Now you should not be surprised, because this is how it works. So yes it is always going to be you, who runs over glass shreds on the roads of the battlefield called ‘Life’. You need to make way for others at times. Braking need not necessarily curb accidents. Whereas ‘letting go’ may. At the end of the day though a visit to a garage is a must!


For the English readers - Water




Water

When I wish to feel you, you are cold.
How deep you actually run, you never let me know.
You are to me, sometimes a tear, sometimes Thirst.
But what a sense of calm you gift me, the moment I see a reflection of the golden moon on a glittery night, in you!


Von oben nach unten




Von oben nach unten


Was ist diese Vogelperspektive?
Keine Ahnung, da ich keinen Vogel bin
Einen direkt zu fragen,
habe ich mich entschieden.


Ich ging oben auf die Terasse um zu schauen, wenn ich einen finde,
Da wartete er auf mich, auf meine Frage.
Ich zu ihm : „Oben im klaren Himmel müsste es schön sein ?
Mit entbreiteten Flügeln kannst du hoch und fortfliegen, O du glückliches Vöglein!
Nur wir müssen alles auf die Erde ertragen , wir Menschen
Ohne Flügel, keine Fliegen. Nur eiserne Bände im Herzen“.


Er zu mir : „Manchmal ist es auch grau im Himmel, manchmal scheint die Sonne hart.
Die Blaue bleibt nicht für immer , mein Liebchen.
Du in deinem Leben, ich in meinem,
Das ist doch die Gottesart !“



Auβer des Horizonts.



Warum ist es mir kalt, auch wenn die Sonne draußen hart scheint ?
Alles ist mir schwarz und weiß, auch wenn der farbige Frühling ankommt ?
Bin ich doch alleine, auch wenn ich zu zweit bin ?
Es gibt doch einen Unterschied zwischen ich und wir.
Ist es zu bewältigen oder es einzusehen?
Dass ich immer auf diese Erde allein sein werde, auch wenn die Gelächter tausender Menschen sich um mich herumlaufen ..
