I went to a bar. I sat. I observed. And I saw the following: “Nay!” called out the philosopher, “You are a lie, a conundrum,” “Just lie in your bed and go to sleep,” “And the morn will show the truth,” “Whatever truth may mean” “Aye!” called out the scientist, “’tis a mystery, but thee … Continue reading Discussions in a Bar

Eden
The greatness bursts out, A myriad of colours, A beautiful explosion of life, An angry catharsis, Followed by beautiful Eden, A time and place of life, Of plenty, of happiness, Of wonder, of exploration, Of greatness. But plenty is always fatal, and Eden shrinks, Mindlessness grasps life, the higher handle fails, Journeys bound out to … Continue reading Eden
Music
Abstract, yet changeable, Intangible, yet stunningly real, Vibrations through the air, Beautiful amalgamations of pitch and strength, Intensity and frequency, Free from the material world, Yet a part of the same, Beautiful creations of nature, And the creations of her creations, Through heart and soul, The meaning of everything; Syllable, and tone, A flowing river, … Continue reading Music
Joys of Being Human
The joy of being human, Living on different worlds, When ours falls and dies; Escaping to temporary illusions, When the reality falls to crumbles; Basking on the fire far away, While the very same fire destroys everything; Fighting over petty things, Things that are forgotten an instant later; Coveting over stupid things, Only to throw … Continue reading Joys of Being Human
Mediocrity
Small transient moments of joy, Blanketed by the envelopes of sorrow, With contempt on every crevasse, under every stone. Live life as thus, Soldiering ahead, The Grand Delusion; A mist of illusion, Of a life well-lived. Nothing “special”, nothing “unique” Everything “special”, Everything “unique”, The thick flaps of mediocrity overcomes us all, All of us … Continue reading Mediocrity
Senses
Taste, smell, sight, The eternal gifts of the Gods, Touch of the beauty, Sound of the great, All of them: our friends; The lover of human beings. The universe: open to us, A cascade of colours, A burst of the metaphysic, Truisms of the cosmos, The world in its purest sense. But then, the thought … Continue reading Senses
A Titleless Poem #001
I taste reality, The sour phases of existence, The dour lives of people, Bitter and unhappy souls, carrying corpses. Frustration kills me, As I go in and out of tune, The taste was better yesterday, It was sweet the day before, And yet, today it is damning. In and out of lucidity, I understood the … Continue reading A Titleless Poem #001
Friend
The world will laugh at you, The days will swallow you, Hell will spit at you, Society will abandon you. The world will kill you, The people will rip you apart, Hell will torture you, Nights will haunt you. The very air will suffocate you, The earth will murder you, The water will drown you, … Continue reading Friend
Dying Embers
The fire coughs, and dies, The cold wind whistles, The last glow illuminates the horrors, The untamed deadly wild, The unknown beyond. Everyone huddles up, afraid, Darkness surrounds them, Suffocating and killing their minds. The dying embers are unassuming, Are they the tools of light, joy? Or are they the slow anger of the night? Are … Continue reading Dying Embers
Unchanging
It stands tall, unchanging, Never lost, never quite there. The hope of spring, Can never move its heart, The heart of cold stone, Of forgotten dreams. The harsh words of summer, Are nothing to its hard shield, A shield that once shielded, The madness within. Autumn brings the cool death, The façade of warmth kills … Continue reading Unchanging
