Time Is But A Stubborn Illusion


You arrive
Time is peace
Pretty, pretty, pretty; the world seems so
Colors explode in the corner of consciousness
I fear if I touch they will explode into million suns
So this is what it feels like to love
For times like this, God created us

You leave
Time is chaos
Pain, pain, pain; the world feels so
My phantom heart bleeds your name
And I will again drown in your absence
So this is what it feels like to die
For times like this, we invented God

Last song of the Season


This last evening, as the season ends
And the sunrays retreat from the sky
I think of the grapes who are dreaming to become wine someday

When the clouds pass by the window of your room
And as you look beyond, everything seems to pause for a moment
I think of the sharp arrow of time which pierces our hearts every now and then

Tomorrow when morning sun arrives
And we realize everything is same but yet different
I think of the life counseling ‘spider’ gave to ‘suicidal fly’

The whalebone which I wear on my neck dreams of the blue ocean
The tiger claw charm on my wrist digs deep to quench its thirst
My memory of you is my privilege and my peace

“There are thousand places we won’t visit
Many things we will not know
A lot of faces we won’t see
Myriad emotions we won’t show
We have one life, an infinitesimal fraction of time
To understand whole eternity
Amongst zillion possibilities, we have only one story to follow
Never knowing how it unfolds”
