Belief Of Self As Once The Sun...
that you were once a star
or even the sun
you must believe all these
as part
of your unique history
for it you don't
what shall you become
without it?
a void, an everlasting darkness
an emptiness that never
fills itself
a traveler that keeps on hurting
his chest
unable to arrive
at any destination....

No Star I Can See
There is no star,
Which I can see
From my window...
Boundless darkness
Is here in the
Chest of night.
The painted sky,
I saw in the daylight
Now is wiped away
As my last poem
I wrote but made
it vanish from
The page, because
It couldn't tell
The blank story,
Of my desolate
Life...no star
Still is visible
From this window..
Someone has spread
The melted pitch
On the road of my
Moped sky..I stare
And stare all night.
The caged breeze,
The starless sky
And night, none can share
My loneliness, I know
They are no living
Persons like me...
But, they can drown me
In complete void of
Sea of utter darkness.
One star can do this;
Only one star......
Thru my little window,
It's flickering light,
Can fill my dark room,
With its heavenly touch!

If It's Hurting You
Please don't think of me
If you do you gotta block it
I got chills tonight
And you can't be here to stop it
I'm not a parasite
It's just a lonely night
Tonight
I walked from the bar
'Cause they were only laughing
I wished on our star
But they covered it in satin
I'm not a gigolo
That's what I want you to know
Tonight
Ooh ooh
I've hurt you I can see
Ooh ooh
Do you think it's not hurting me
Ooh ooh
The grass ain't always green
And if it's hurting you
You know that's its hurting me
You know that's its hurting me
You'll meet other men
Who will break your heart
If I see you with them
It's gonna tear me apart
Maybe in another life
We wouldn't be alone
Tonight
Ooh ooh
I've hurt you I can see
Ooh ooh
Do you think its not hurting me
Ooh ooh
The grass ain't always green
And if it's hurting you
You know that it's hurting me
You know that it's hurting me
You know that it's hurting me
You know that it's hurting me

Fundamental of Liar Chapter CX: Ability
It’s not unable, it’s just not a favor
It’s not unable, it’s just reluctance
It’s not unable, it’s just not my style
It’s not unable, it’s just wrong
It’s not unable, it’s just no time
It’s not unable, it’s just out of place
It’s not unable, it’s just not consideration
It’s not unable, it’s just objection
It’s not unable, it’s just not effective
It’s not unable, it’s just stubbornness
It’s not unable, it’s just not important
It’s not unable, it’s just mercy

Darkness And Light
i would like to arrive not at the point
when darkness and light
chase and fight each other
when they grapple with who's right
and who's fit to survive
on the cycle of life
i like to arrive at the time when
they stop and arrive at a compromise
to live in peace together
not that the light stays on the right
not that darkness stays on the left
for that would still be divisive
i like them fuse into a certain hue
so pleasing to the eyes of all confused men
dusk, dawn, a dawning light, grey
the coolness of twilight, midway, between coming and departure
standing still, a gaze of the star and the coming of a new day.

Light & Darkness
I remember light dimmed without darkness and darkness dimmed without light if you think about it there would be no light if there were no darkness, darkness needs lights, and light needs darkness, is that why heaven and hell do not fight, there calm but why.... they are enemies no? ....but even enemies know how to maintain balance... this light there is darkness on it... i see why.... what is light without darkness, if there were no darkness how would there be a light....... it would be a void of emptiness, thank you hells thank you heavens, thank you demons, thank you angels you know we must last so you maintain balance, you know of light and darkness......

Darkness
the darkness fills the air
i dream yet i do not feel
i see yet i am blind
what is this life i ask
i do not know
i do not know
i feel yet i am numb
i see your smile
i see your pretty face
my heart beats for you
this i know this i know
i can not tell you this
i know i know yes i know
i dream yet i cannot see
a world of darkness
fills the air that i breathe
why must it be this way
i don`t know i don`t know
i cannot see i cannot see
the darkness fills my heart
the darkness fills my life

Animal Awareness
I had a man
Stand on a point
And look out into a void
Framed by the outline of himself.
The point was at the entrance to a cave.
The entrance,
Shaped like him, legs akimbo,
Each arm outstretched to the side,
Resembled a five-legged star,
The point, the lowest crotch of the star.
To relieve the white of the void,
Behind the entrance to the cave
I painted five conical pines
The apex of each at a crotch of the legs of the star.
The void became a sky
Above the peaks of the pines.
Further back inside the cave
I drew a geometrical detail
Of a beetle's fabulous wing,
and another of such obscurity
I was buried in the part
Unsure of knowing the whole.
What's more,
I was without a need to know
What lies BEYOND the whole,
or lies beyond the HOLE.

G6
one thing with us
is that we are not like the air that fills the space
the void,
we have not adopted the properties
of fluidity
flexible enough to adjust
to emptiness
embracing it
like a long lost friend
and liking what
new setting is there
we should have taken the shape
of God's containers
and say that despite the hollowness
there is nothing wrong
but what is there
is the excitement
of being like Him
Everywhere.

Feeling Hollowed
Idle within emptiness
Disappointment fills the air
A chilling wind of harshness
Sweeping seasons of despair...
Fingernails bitter purple
A tousle of shredded hair
Weakened limbs and fragile nerves
Dreams strangled to disrepair...
How long 'till the sun comes out?
Forever must still be there
Without the light all things fade
Darkness makes them disappear....
A burning torch within me
Faith, the everlasting flair
Scorching both sense and reason
Too blind to show heaven near...

A Taste Of Emptiness
Idle within emptiness
Disappointment fills the air
A chilling wind of harshness
Sweeping seasons of despair...

The word of emptiness
That fills void

Be the end
Nothingness to nothingness
Wrapped the sound be
You will be...
Only to feel
Feel to be

The Ships Are Made Ready In Silence
Moored to the same ring:
The hour, the darkness and I,
Our compasses hooded like falcons.
Now the memory of you comes aching in
With a wash of broken bits which never left port
In which once we planned voyages,
They come knocking like hearts asking:
What departures on this tide?
Breath of land, warm breath,
You tighten the cold around the navel,
Though all shores but the first have been foreign,
And the first was not home until left behind.
Our choice is ours but we have not made it,
Containing as it does, our destination
Circled with loss as with coral, and
A destination only until attained.
I have left you my hope to remember me by,
Though now there is little resemblance.
At this moment I could believe in no change,
The mast perpetually
Vacillating between the same constellations,
The night never withdrawing its dark virtue
>From the harbor shaped as a heart,
The sea pulsing as a heart,
The sky vaulted as a heart,
Where I know the light will shatter like a cry
Above a discovery:
'Emptiness.
Emptiness! Look!'
Look. This is the morning.

A Sensitive Conversation
in a sensitive conversation
we do not just listen and observe
what happens next,
we take active part in exploring
what goes inside that makes this
person listless
we take his journey too
into the great abyss of his own void
which has the same face as ours
we feel
what void is there
that bites his being that poisons
his mind
we tell him we are about to arrive
at the root cause of the problem
so take it easy
do not ever give up
we assure him that everybody is
experiencing what he is
experiencing right now
that he is not just the lonely man
in this planet
there are just too many of
us,
yes us, and so we bond together
cohesive
till we are not what we are
anymore

Insatiability
it is not a refusal to be full
it is just the emptiness that keeps on digging
there is a hole
inside you and nothing fills it
it gets deeper and deeper
and you fall
and you arrive at a chasm
without a solid ground
you float
like a feather on the wind
you are bound like a vine on a twig
you are not free
on this insatiability

Love: The History (Radha-35)
The history will not speak of you
No one was aware of it
Though
I had known
The history today,
so embarrassed and unprepared
had not been able to cuddle you
In its lap
Who will it answer?
And you refused to be a goddess
You were well aware
That
It was not useful for you
To be a goddess
After waiting for someone
For unlimited ages
You still aspire to
Continue waiting
Still frozen as an unknown monument
Half destroyed
Just because
You can remember me in your mind
You chose to remain human.
Had the history knew
History after history would come up after
And would be accountable
To the successor.
The questions would only return
To the history itself
Striking back the infinity (emptiness)
The history stands with bowing head
In front of you
Not able to measure your emptiness.
How will it understand your waiting?
Before so many ages
And so many ages ahead
You keep searching to whom
round and round
With your unflickered eyes.

Unique
A rising star,
Wise men from the East;
A Virgin Lady to her husband with a unique flair,
But this was to be fulfilled.
Raised under unique environment for your love,
And to foretell it before hand;
But the rising star was traced by the Wise Men from the East.
Health, joy, love nad peace;
Of the golden oil to be pour on you,
But held in high esteem to crown the day on this news.
The secrets of the Bible,
Of the seventh malak to speak out loud;
But the army of the horsemen are now in the dark.
Darkness!
We are all in the dark waiting for the light;
Like the message from the seventh messenger.
Your innerself,
Over and over again to gain the wisdom of this news;
With the unique hour on the white throne.
An hour,
A day,
A moon;
Dressed in sackcloth with the two golden pipes around,
But with the smile of the shepherds to give us hope.
Smite the shepherd and the sheep will scatter,
With words so unique from the air;
But like the seed of Abraham with the unique mind of love.

One is the ever blazing star
Sword of the immortal world
And highest light
Yes, this is our star.
Out star is ever rising
Borm of the eternal lamp
And holy fire
Mighty burning mountain
The everlasting love of one is
One is one is one is one is one is
One is the ever kindling star
King of the immortal spark
In heavens eye
Yes, this is our star.
Yes, this is our star.

All The Lovin & The Hurtin
Do you ever get past the pain you go through?
When you give all you can and you cant understand
Why a dream wont come true?
Its one sided romance you cant undo
When you do all the loving and hurting, too
You cant take it back once you give your heart
Trying not to recall how you did all is the hardest part
And you cant change the reason you feel like a fool
cause you did all the loving and hurting, too
Thats the price you pay for doing more than your share
When you love enough for both of you, no one else has to care
And though its all over, you look bakc on the truth
You did all the lovin and the hurting, too
And though its all over, its over for you
Youre still doing all the lovin and the hurting, too
You did all the lovin and the hurting, too

All The Lovin' And Hurtin'
Do you ever get past the pain you go through?
When you give all you can and you can't understand
Why a dream won't come true?
It's a one sided romance you can't undo.
When you do All The Lovin' And The Hurting, too.
You can't take it back once you give your heart.
Trying not to recall how you did it all is the hardest part.
And you can't change the reason you feel like a fool.
'Cause you did All The Lovin' And The Hurting, too.
That's the price you pay for doing more than your share.
When you love enough for both of you, no one else has to care.
And though it's all over, you look back on the truth.
You did All The Lovin' And The Hurting, too.
And though it's all over, it's not over for you.
You're still doing All The Lovin' And The Hurting, too.
You did All The Lovin' And The Hurting, too.
