There's Something There

The water lashes on
The mountain stands it's ground
Immovable like God
But slowly it's eroding away
Words that we stood on, suddenly gone
Either the word or my footing was wrong
A wall that's firm and strong
The storm can carry on,
But if the first brick's placed wrong
Then slowly, the bricks fall down
Day by day, the fog clears away
There's something there
Is something there?
I can't tell
The water lashes on
The mountain stands it's ground
Immovable like God
But slowly it's eroding away
Without knowing what it was
He learnt language from scratch
And tears fell from his eyes
He couldn't describe what it was like
When he didn't have words
There's something there
Is something there?
Something.......

Snow Leopard

Never wanted more
Couldn't care less for what else is in store
So it seems
Living life alone
Live a whole life in silence and snow
Never seen
Couldn't be me
Cold wind in her fur
Just the sweet warmth of blood is enough
Is it really?
Just the warm sun
Just an occasional strangers touch
So sincerely
Another day goes by
No one to count the time
No company or likes
No one to prove you're alive
Could I walk away like that?
Or would I disappear just as soon as I'm out of sight
When you tippy-toe
Preying on lunch, do you tend to keep score?
Or just breathe
Silent in the snow
Just the pure rush of a good kill, and the treat
No one has to know
No one needs to hear a falling tree to make it real
I wonder what you feel
We've been watched always
Would you scoff at me?
Or is it not worth your
time
Never been alone
Even in the womb I had company
Does it mean that I'll always be a half of a whole
and alone I am incomplete?
So it seems
Another day goes by
No one to count the time
No company or likes
No one to prove you're alive
Could I walk away like that?
Or would I disappear just as soon as I'm out of sight

Hive
05:05

What now?
What then? If not this nectar?
Where will the bee fly?
No north star
No word from up above
No road and no guide
No maps and no treasure
Just fear and pleasure
No Eden or heaven
Just words on a ledger
Someone, Somewhere, Some point
To focus on
To walk the slack line
Bill boards with faces on, make promises
Of sweeter nectar
With no doubt in mind
We leave the flowers behind
How to be sure of what we should hope for
with so much around?
It's not like before when we didn't soar
Our feet on the ground
And now , somehow
Everything gets centralized
One mind, one hive,
Who'll win?
And Who'll compromise?
It's not like before when we didn't soar
Our feet on the ground
How to be sure of what we should hope for
with so much around?

Moon
02:07
|
|||
|
A moon in the sky
A moon on the ground
I remember the wind
and a shivering tarp
I remember the cold
and a quivering heart
I remember your blue face in the dark
In Hamsa
Such generous words
A cinnamon smile
Caramel queen
An evergreen mountain side
Had never felt that warm
Heaven in some farm
The world outside was gone
It swooped me up in a storm
Where did she come from?

Stations
03:26
|
|||
|
Unannounced hail storm
When the sky was blue
Wild horse, reins off
I belong to you
Cold wind whistles
With the sound of hooves
Wash clean bare soles
With morning due
Compass in my mind spinning
Stations pass me by
Didn't learn to arrive
Somehow
Lakes and hills go by
All but your deer eyes
Ride on to Pangong
Let the walls come down
Such dreams and love songs
Flood the heart some how
Warm hands came down
Freed the frozen ground,
And out grew a banyan
Despite the storm
Compass in my mind spinning
Eyes adjust to the light
Will we stumble at night?
But if time
sat down to relax one night
I would be a storm so bold
Pick you up and swallow whole

Magic
02:28

I showed you a magic trick
It worked because you were online
Something's are better from a distance
Up close you would notice the lines
Somethings are better done once or twice
I would ruin it the very next time
If I could disappear in a cloud of dust
I'd do it as soon as you smile
Chhoo Mantar Chhoo
A teacher told us not to give it all up
Like a book that ends when it starts
That's the kinda thing that sticks for years
So I never reveal my cards
All my other friends are wizards
They don't do tricks from afar
Swear I've seen real magic here
Brighter than glitter and sparks
So honest
I want it
Growing on it's own
A forest
Unlike my garden
My God
I was in awe
Humbled
I caught it
A moment
Fleeting
What luck, I was right there
The time was now

Turns
04:12
|

|
What turns came without signage?
What moved you then?
Concerned or running bare feet?
Full speed at the bends
Against the current, how did you swim?
What made you nervous, when spreading your wings?
Those eyes saw color in everything
What future did you see back then?
Erasing was never an option
Marked with ball point pen
Heart racing at every up hill
Or were you calm back then, as you are now?
Soft like the pastels on your brush
Against the current, how did you swim?
Pure love and courage, filled to the brim
A mind like water and heart on wings
What wide eyed dreams did you let sink?
What did you bury?
And what did you carry?
And what tagged along, along the way?
And how do you still have so much to give away?

Lion and the Sea
02:52
|
|||
|
Hung around a lions arm
Swimming in the sea at dawn
Isn't hard to see they want you
Tugging left the weaves undone
Moving fast and burning bridges
Drenched in a storm of kisses
This is how I fill the blanks
All your pages that went missing
Walking with your hands held high
As if to caress the sky in the night
Waking up in strange new halls
Covered in seed and salt
Spread out on the floor like dishes
Shimmer in the warmth of kisses
This is how I fill the blanks
All your pages that went missing

Deer
02:32
|
|||
|
That part of the park looks quiet
Deer with such familiar eyes
Smells like petrichor and flowers
It seems easier to miss than miss out
Sun flower when you laugh
What a rush and what a calm
Heard you have an ocean inside
I can feel the waves and tides
Even in the strangest storm
I recall your widest smile
Sunflower when you laugh
I'm trying to hide elephants in
broad day light, but it seems so
futile, ever since I
caught a whiff of a deer in the park

Fortress
02:54
|
|||
|
Do you know you're on my mind?
In the lawn of a fortress
Tiny little buds on the wall
Kept safe and warm
In the lawn of a fortress
Somewhere safe and warm
Do you know you're on my mind?
In the car with an old friend
Fingers finding where they belong
This drive is so long
Waking up at twilight
Somewhere safe and warm
