nap

just up from a nap,

on a day off from work.

after a long time, i am caught.

in the mirror of an uneventful afternoon.

the quiet hollow knocking from inside.

to know if the outside activity has subsided 

for it to safely come out in private.

and talk to me.

to ask where we are headed.

untitled

i am wandering through a dark night
lying on an emotionless bed.
trying to come back to the truth
through poetry. and floyd.
it becomes difficult as i close in on you.
truth stands in a corner.
like an incompetent pupil.
while you hijack my poetry.

old friend

there is a dilapidated curtain
hanging on the window in my room. dilapidated.
filtering the fledgling morning sunlight, free
of worldly encumbrances. unhurried.
the light coming through is a stranger to my room. nonchalant.
It works like water though. Blends in without qualms. diffuses.
Fills in. It is music. buddha's meditation. dissolves in the quiet.
the curtain is silent. it has not thought about happiness.or meaning.
it is my friend.

metamorphosis

how many roads ?

my space scooter is out of fuel.

stranded close to something like our moon.

lifeless and beautiful.

there also is a benign black hole.

a few million miles away. 

despairingly silent.

wanting to speak.

there is no ground for me to step on.

walk back.

home if there still is.

music but. has come back to me.

i can stay here. wait. 

while turning into a relic.

a star.
