Get Connected Marvin
it is not bad to be alone
taking a grip of yourself like your hands embracing your body
the closeness of the self to yourself
it is not bad either to get connected
to your loved ones
they make you grow as they affirm your goodness
they make you fulfill your essence
to be alone and step in your room
and yet to be with the world
and become part of the universe
this is what we are doing here
in cyberspace
alone and yet alone to many
there is no harm marvin
there is so much good
this solitude in the modern sense
you touch the world without even one of it touching you
this choice of absence and yet this universality of our
inevitable presence

Never Within Me
I am bereft through sadness
and within each light i see
a shadow of my consciousness
a shadow that is me.
i am hungry for a closeness
but within closeness do i see
mere remnants of my honesty
and a skeleton of me.
i am not known for polished words
for within those words i see
a truth that is too far away
and never within me.

Embracing the rain
No more raincoats, I’m embracing the rain
Sunny days long gone, I’m embracing the rain
Sometimes you are dying
A circle of life is changing
In the darkness is new light
evolving and growing through the night
No more raincoats, I’m embracing the rain
Sunny days are long gone, I’m embracing the rain
Sometimes you are trying
Starting new things without slowing down
Illumination is the key
Trust the unknown, wait and see
No more raincoats, I’m embracing the rain
Sunny days long gone, I’m embracing the rain
Okay to be fearful, I’m embracing the rain
Better days are coming, I’m embracing the rain
I’m embracing the rain

Obedience is detachment from the self. This is the most radical detachment of all. But what is the self? The self is the principle of reason and responsibility in us. It is the root of freedom, it is what makes us men.

Detachment
What is detachment? I am in dark to know.
She gets my flavour; She returns no favour.
She loves my presence and forgets my absence.
She gets my heat and emits not hers.
From her I understood about detachment.

There is no detachment where there is no pain. And there is no pain endured without hatred or lying unless detachment is present too.

Temporary Leave
If 'ever' our closeness,
Should become estranged...
Slap me quickly to awaken,
Dear Father.
Know this...
If 'ever' our closeness,
Should become estranged...
I have taken temporary leave,
Of my consciousness.
IF You should 'ever',
Doubt my faith...
As I wish for you to believe,
As I say it is as it is perceived to be...
Dear Father.
I have been drugged without my knowledge.
And in need of Your serious counseling.
I have been strickened with abnormal indecision.
Something defective has come to bait my attention.
Know this...
If 'ever' our closeness,
Should become estranged...
I have taken temporary leave,
Of my faculties.
And I am in dire need!

(V - 2009) The Truth of the Truth
The Sages and Seers
That be and have been
Cannot have seen
The truth of the Truth!
What they see as Truth
Is Truth merely
It’s not really
The truth of the Truth!
The Ultimate Truth
Cannot be known
We aren’t that grown –
The truth of the Truth!
We’re part of the Truth
We’re trying to see
We’re yet so tiny –
The truth of the Truth!
Though hard and great
The pains we give
We cannot outlive
The truth of the Truth!
What’s Truth to you once
Remains not the same
So changing the game –
The truth of the Truth!
What’s Truth to a man
Is not Truth to all
That’s what we call
The truth of the Truth!
These thoughts as I pen
It’s Truth to me
It’s to me only
The truth of the Truth!
The Truth!
They said: ‘It’s the blaring truth,
Of the time.’ I said: ‘No, it’s the mute truth, of our time.’
Then he said: ‘You both are wrong. There is no truth, at all! ’
Thus, the eternal argument continues. Me taking
Many a avatars, like incarnations with my own truth;
They waiting for me to arrive, every time the flood recedes
And He, ever present like the truth itself, but doing nothing.
Then, we erect a pole of truth, and a flag atop
With questions scribbled on truth, about
His non-existent truth, my mute truth and
Their blaring truth! We all wait for the flag
To talk, in the wind and spread our message
Of truth and gather the majority. But it never fluttered,
It never fluttered for the truth.

Fruit has no fragrance but flower.
Love between two brings closeness.
Closeness between two brings love.
Love gives only Rose, not fruits.
Closeness gives fruits, bitter fruits.
I value rose as any sensible one does

Will Die Soon
I have lost everyone
Everyone, whom I could call as my friend
The distances of friendship have increased
No more you are with me, since silence is taking over
Closeness is fading away
Terror of being alone is tormenting for me
I am crying for help
Since, I require a true friend who will always remain
Someone, on whose shoulder I can weep
Maybe, I will never be able to find someone like that.
The silence will kill me
I am telling you but I do not think that anyone will understand
Feelings, of a weeping heart
Nobody listens to
I have lost everyone since silence is taking over
Very well I know, my life is darkening
I will die, surely die soon, without a true friend.

Touch
Touched with such a closeness
That could be called caress
Touched with many meanings
That could become, I guess
The promise of a life beyond
The life it is that passed
Touched with such a closeness
But do I answer 'yes'?

X Celestial Blue and Green of Grass
High over the white clean clouds
she serves hot coffee in the sky
Smiling pretty stewardess
with one green, one blue eye
(alluding to her dual life -
celestial blue and green of grass)
He saw her left side first,
an all embracing smile,
a green, then a blue eye...
Ah, secret charm of dual life!
Unearthly pleasure of the flight.
Not far away from Earth,
a casual face hints at the
closeness of an unknown space.

Lieing to Yourself Has Been Your Enemy
Open your windows.
Why suffocate,
Without fresh air to deeply breathe.
Why lock yourself away,
Within your walls?
And you sit in silence.
As if afraid someone will call.
What is the purpose,
Of your self inflicted distance?
'I've heard there is a truth outside I can not face.'
You can not keep yourself away,
From the embracing of it.
Blocked, locked away or with attempts to stop...
Truth does not victimize.
Lieing to yourself,
Has been your enemy.

Anna Marie
The height of the door of your love is very attractive,
And it is like driving down the Kasoa Road;
But the truth is directly known by all and i will cling on to you.
Your love to me is more educative and attractive;
And your closeness to me is more lovely and romantic;
For the naked truth is your nakedness.
Anna Marie! You are the sweet thing that ever touched my heart;
And i will be there for you always like the sunshine,
So let us take a walk on this sweet love.

The Time We Have
Sometimes when I awaken at night
I reach to feel if you're there.
I've gotten so used to your closeness,
the closeness that we share.
I glance at the clock to see the time
and the numbers that I view
remind me of how much time I have
to share my bed with you.
I try not to think of a time that will come
when one of us will be in bed alone.
For then if it's me and I reach for you,
I'll be there on my own.
And if I leave before you do
I want you to remember
all of the best we two have had
each January through December.
