orange

isn't it good sometimes
to be stuck in traffic
and stay
stuck
not reach
the destination
destiny
anywhere

i have an orange
in my bag
it travels with me
to work
and back home
i always forget
to eat it
it stays
in a corner
of my bag
i like it
there
stuck
waiting
while i
listen to the impatient
honking cars
flickering lights
people with music
in their ears
and games in their hands

but
the orange
stays
sitting in it's dark
warm
corner

waiting

bleeding silence

my pages are bleeding
light
bleeding silence
rising and falling
waves of silence
thoughts pierce the skin

my body aches to the touch
of this silence

i turn around
once again,
its 3am
my clock has stopped running
resigned it rests, tired
weighing on my eyelids

i'm conscious of the weight
of the transition

and the cycle goes on

until I lose attention
and
fall...

walking in circles

i
keep walking
in circles
through the same dark roads
which take me home

wait

until
I breath the moonlight
while life overtakes me

you should wait

unlike those
who keep driving me
towards the dark road
which begins
and ends at home

you should wait
till morning

let me pluck
the sun from the horizon

let me see it
wither
back
to the ground


wait

while life overtakes

As i fall asleep

against this monotony
against the deceiving moonlight
I can feel the subtle changes

what would you do
if left alone
locked in a room
staring
at the same empty walls
the clock getting weary
of passing through
the same numbers

the fan is caressing my hair
as I try to look at the sky
through the gasping
curtains

the movement of the curtains
is also monotonous
it has a rhythm
to my closing eyes
moving back and forth
along with my breath
as I fall asleep

stillness


there is a stillness
in this place
which resonates
with the stillness
inside me
as if I can breathe it
in and out
with every gesture,
with every pause
the silence surfaces
between us
a comforting silence
but as it intensifies
I feel devoid of shelter
naked below the sky
immersing
in the ground
with the weight of this
silence
so slow
no one can notice
no one can hold
just witness the stillness
of our dissolving insides

a little deeper into the ocean

I'm tired of rising
everyday
to the piercing
brightness
burning my eyelids,

wake me up
when the sun is wet
and the waves
are emitting light,
I want to see it
sown
a little deeper
into the ocean
and my feet
touch the horizon

skin under my feet

the skin under my feet
is breaking apart
I see cracks
layers of dust revealed
I like them
the cracks
the dust
the reminiscence
of yesterday
today
they remind me of
that smell,
robust
but porous
an almost physical
nostalgic smell

of wet clay?

water swallowed
by the cracks
smelling of
memories
wet
tangible

that smell

And
         so much
from these cracks
so much
from touching them
revealing
from the dust
so much

monotonous

So much ink on these pages,
flipping from one to another,
flipping through day and night,
flipping in and out of the bed.

So much goes between
the ink and the flipping,

yet we don’t realise.

Just keep flipping.

Sinking

how would you see anything
anything
if your vision is blocked
by a parasite
on the shores of hope
in the waves
of anticipation
touching your feet
at every stroke
sinking you in
the porous
tomorrow
sinking
in
today,
disappearing
              feet
      legs
         palms
    chest,
eyes
look up
to their companion
waving at the horizon
drowning
red dark spots
hover in the sight
and a crescent
above
it's getting dark
and the spots,
dark red,
are also drowning
in a darker background
        time
to go
       home

Silence

my hands are coveting
the silence
which stands in front of me
naked
a desire so loud
a desire
naked
I reach out
with trembling fingers
trembling breath
I reach out to succumb
the silence
within the gaps
of my trembling fingers
within the parenthesis
of breathing
in
            and

                        out
