heathcliff

                If all else perished, and he 
               remained, I should still continue to               
               be; and if all else remained, and he 
               were annihilated, the universe w
                would turn to a mighty stranger.”

                He's more myself than I am.    
                 Whatever our souls are made of,      
                  his and mine are the same.” 

                   Nelly, I am Heathcliff - he's
                    slways, always in my mind - not   
                   as a pleasure, any more then I                            am  always a  pleasure to myself -                   but, as my own being...

yellow rose


what I have always wanted to write is of you, 
the many unsaid words that are left between us, 
when your thoughts gather on sleepless nights, 
and I do not have any way left to talk to you. 

for the old wound of our love was never gone, 
when life punched some more on the very spot, 
for I was left to spin yarns that spoke of us
after the day when you decided to leave me. 

for this heart was naive in those bygone times, 
never knew what it was that ate my soul always, 
for we were close to each other in our hearts
and were not strangers as we pretend to be now. 

For all this naivete that I showed in love
You showed me how I was your yellow rose. 


love

From Rainer Maria Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet

Nobody can counsel and help you, nobody. There is only one single way. Go into yourself. Search for the reason that bids you to write, find out whether you would have to die if it were denied you to write.

Memory

A City Glimpse



In the morning light the city lies silent,
Slowly it awakes with the rising sun,
And life moves along its streets,
Children walking to school,
Joggers on the run to keep fit,
Vehicles roaring to arrive first.
I walk with you by my side,
Through the lanes and roads,
Turning once in a while to smile,
Laugh or reply to something you,
Just told me with the wonder,
Of a child shining in your eyes.
I love the city in the morning light,
Only when you walk with me.

Being

When away from you thoughts gather,
And desires like creepers murmur,
In the dark cloudy sky to trees,
Until you come with your silence
And rain bursts in my space,
Where you are is my dream,
That I would exchange my being,
For being the air around you.

Springtime




You were a springtime in this uneventful life, 
Where your promises filled this heart daily, 
Your thoughts played like a chorus in a song, '
And in those days, you were like a demigod. 

When you reach out with your tender words, 
When you return to this life with your bounce, 
I forget that once your absence left me dead, 
And I celebrate your homecoming with delight. 

My fears are about what I'll do if you go away, 
For a promising life had collapsed in a day, 
When you and I parted our lives eons ago, 
To leave behind a life of longing and strife. 

You bring new thoughts and dreams to cherish
And I speak of us as if we are together again.
