Any more and....

ghorgh-bengalskiy.photosight.ru

Life taught me
I can't wish away
pain and suffering
much as I would like to 
I ought to face
them squarely 

at least
bear them patiently.
And I have been....
so much so that
something pleasant
becomes a surprise
tinged by fear.
no pleasant surprises for me.
Don't ask me for anything future.
Any more of that and I
simply fold inward
until I become a speck
to be flicked off.
Just let me
be
be live.

Alone in the deep...

lucastudio.photosight.ru

Mysteries knew
I would fling at them
and so invited me
into the dark forest.
Passions led me
as I left Reason behind.
The lioness in me
devoured 
every single beast
that came in the way.
Then it started raining
mercilessly.
Drenched as I was
I had only rain
to protect me.
My pride was
nowhere to be seen.
Swim I did
with the currents
to be back in the 
open again
waiting for the Sun
to rise.

Present Moment

geneoryx.photosight.ru

Those big leaves
bear drops of water
without getting wet
All my senses
take in pain and joy
without letting them
take possession
I jut watch the 
present moment
in which the world
plays on my stage
and once the play 
is over
I call the curtains
moving on 
to the next at
hand
for it is the present moment 
that is my real present -
fresh, bright and joyful.

In Silence

dspiritov.photosight.ru

In silence
I hold communion with my soul
its vibrancy deserted
energy depleted
just accepting that life
can do this too
- castles built
- hopes dashed
- love betrayed
- dreams shattered
But I want to reassure
I am there
alive to life
not wanting to 
change or avenge
anything
but looking ahead
and looking here
in this pause
and let this silence
say what it will 
to me!

Fire and Fury 4

neo2fx.photosight.ru

They came for their own reasons
It doesn't matter
I have my own reasons
It is tough to be true to myself
to own up all your lust and passion
and fury and seek their
consummation
sometimes beyond the pale
of custom
I have learnt to burn to ashes
and blow up in the heavens
the volcanoes that
made their home in
my flesh.

Fire and Fury 3

neo2fx.photosight.ru

Time was when I flinched
claiming myself to myself
today I claim all that is mine
my strength my weaknesses
vulnerabilities
my solidities my grounds
flesh of capacious fertilities
I am waiting to envelope
and embrace and swallow
all challenges and all joys
and all struggles
knowing how all this will
pass and become history
the very next moment.

Fire and Fury 2

neo2fx.photosight.ru

I offered all of mine
heart, soul and body
surrendered wholly
to the fire in the belly
and opened myself up
fully and totally
giving every ounce
of love and passion
and fire wanting to
be consumed not leaving
behind even a trace
of that paltry existence
merging in the vast expanse
of love and warmth
and here I am
reminiscing all that and more.

Fire and Fury 1

 neo2fx.photosight.ru

Fires are mine
Passions are mine
I am in thral held
I wait for something
someone to come
make a bonfire
of all guilt and shame
and be consumed by
the flame
when nothing remains
but the afterglow of
all that burnt away.

Something happened...

fotograf_msk.photosight.ru

Something happened
You said something
and inside me
something snapped...
I had held it 
so delicately
your soul in all
its splendour
and ugliness 
in my soft 
weak
and steady hands.
Then you flicked a speck
of doubt
and it hit me like a bolt
I will recover
but it will not be the same
Something has happened
and inside me
something has snapped....

Freshness

valerje.photosight.ru

I can feel it 
everywhere
in the leaves
the air
the still water
and the sky reflected
in it...
the freshness
of life
everything living
anew
and all those
dead things
merging quietly
in the eternally
living...
and so too
those memories......
To be fresh
every moment....Ah!

Ask me not...

rusel.photosight.ru

Ask me not
my wishes
Wake me not
from fond dreams
Search me not
for dark secrets
Trust me not
to follow you
Give me your hand
and walk
the moment -
let's breathe
life and
celebrate it.

There are so many....

bekhterev.photosight.ru

There are times
when I am touched
by things unseen
thoughts unknown
and a yearning undreamt
so far...
There is something out there
waiting to
come in the open
.....
So many
of my selves
hidden
how many more
waiting
in the eternal womb
of the cosmos.....
So many 
of me
here, there
and everywhere
....
dancing
whirling
abandoning
will it release them all?

Do you think you can...

S_Zot.photosight.ru


My mind is clear
after Grace washed out 
all hurts and grudges
and Guts purged regrets
with an inner glow.
Told I was that
it showed up on my face
and I can feel it in every pore -
so light, so bright and so bursting.
You think you can
let bygones be bygones
and yet light the flame
of love yet again?
