Landscape

my desire,
moves in a sky of principles
makes a perfect landing

this was the place
this was the name
my god, I have not reached anywhere

the words float in air
hissing reverberates
now you can talk, without tongue

the eye,
looks past you, a single
red flame, going straight into heart

the end,
comes steaming, of a sheer delight
moon was lying bleeding

•	
 
the thread breaks
it was neither beginning nor end
body floats between earth and clouds
no perception, no awareness
I may be moving or static
suspension of eyes in a tube

the sky breaks
this is a path between hills
I may stop or play with death
effortlessly   sometimes you don’t want
any mercy    no benign or malignant tumor
which can halt the steep decline

the thought breaks
you are listening a new story only
ladder will climb to palace   there is no
traveler, no caravan   the truth about the truth
was false   only a wooly rhino buried
under the snow was true

•	

I take you
between the veils
the shadows are chasing us
the rains will wash the sins

the bleeding must stop
every exit was red
guns are loud, and sun was in hiding
can you read me ?

I am tired
want to write a poem on my palm
can see it again and again
in dark
