Reunion


And they sat there
Like rebellious youngsters
Trying to feel rebellious
Once again
Smoking pot
Drinking reeking rum
Swaying their heads to Nusrat

Hoping to capture that moment...
When they bought that last bottle of the cheapest drink there was
With all their monies put together
Begging the owner of the cheap bar
To let them drink and shack there till morn

The lovers among them stole out
To make love beneath docked fish boats on the beach
While friends in vicinity kept guard
For them to consummate their most sacred act

The smoke rose today
And the alcohol shimmered in the glass
Here and there, they all had grayed a little

And they sat
In one of the most expensive suites
In one of the most expensive hotels
In one of the most expensive cities

Pretending they were still rebels
Just that... Now they had only themselves
To rebel against.

Violation...


"I showed it to someone"
She said
"He says he is dumbfounded,
That it is absolutely beautiful"
Silly of me to feel violated
Felt like someone saw us through a keyhole
Cause I thought this space
Was just for me and her
But then, her's
were words of literature too
Mine were private heartbeats
meant for two...

Forever


With you,
Forever too,
Seems like an hour...
And forever too will pass,
And eternity will pass,
And time will touch infinity and come to a still,
And I'll be standing with you,
Both wanting more...
And all will begin once again...

For sometime now


For sometime now...
I will avoid
driving up that parking lot
and looking down at the city

For sometime now...
I will desist
sitting by the window
of my favorite coffee place

For sometime now...
I will resist
looking at the seat next to mine
in the car

For sometime now...
I'll close my eyes
When I pass "our house"
on that road out of the city

For sometime now...
I'll check madly
to see if you're ok
to see if you still think of me
to see if you want to talk to me...

After sometime...
You'll be with me
Or I'll make all this a habit
Forever....

Found


They called me lost,
I was the guy with a dazed look,
Never present,
Always past or future.

My head was full of
ambition
stories
music
scenes
pictures

And then you came
They all got swept away
I have no regret
I could lose it all a million times
Just for you...

You found me
And I found myself through you
But they still call me lost....

Scars 2 (Scarred too)


Every single memory
Every single word
Every single image
Continues to haunt me
And it won't go away
Brings more tears
Each time I think of them
I fear to mention them
Cause it brings tears to your eyes
I can't bear your tears
I can bear mine
But the scars are there
scarring into me
clawing their fangs into my heart
not letting me live my present moment
tugging me back to those humiliating yesterdays
that I want to forget
Remedy them
Erase them
Salve them
balm them
Make me live again
Bring me to life....
