Searching...

Your charm, your smile, that curve in your lips, that shine in your eyes

I wander from one to another, searching...for that something.. that's part of you

Wanting to recreate you in anonymous faces

And meaningless touches

Then with a startle, I remember;

The menace in those eyes; the deceit behind those smiles

And then suddenly I can't remember

What I had set out to search

You or Me; or the dream that was US!

The Ocean

You stand there admiring me
You stand there wondering
Whether to wet your feet in the waves that are me
You stand there wondering if I am as calm as I seem

Then you come closer, one step at a time
First with doubting movements
and then with sure confidence

You stand there waiting for me to come to you
I gently kiss your feet
I see you smile

The warmth of me
the tingling sense of the withdrawing sand beneath your feet
Then you bend down
more confident this time
to splash some water off me

When you do that, some drops land on your lips
You taste them
They are salty

And then you know
that this is no ordinary ocean
It's a vast barren land, filled with tears
The Ocean that's me!!

Choosing Me

Baby, I love you
But I must go
Baby, I am not walking away from you
Baby, I am walking away from the ugliness
From the heartache and the deceit
From the lies and this golden cage
Baby, I am not walking away from you,
I am walking towards peace of being,
Towards truth, space, freedom
Towards enchantment, mystery
Baby, I am not walking away from You,
I am walking towards ME!
Baby, I always chose you
But today I am choosing ME!

An Ode to What I was

I was never the weed that gave you a high
I was the roots that held you to the ground;

I was never the designer wear
I was the well worn, faded T-Shirt, familiar and comfortable;

I was never the party, never the disco
I was the later night evening chats, mindless yet soulful;

I was never the soaring heights, the skydive, the adrenaline rush,
Baby, I was the ROAD that led you home...
