'I want to hold you,the hands of time,and walk to that bank,sit back and watch a riverglide to her silky bed...Under the pierswhich hold aloftgrown-up dreams,ready to sail,chasing the setting sun.While behind us,teens begin their lives,in a hall,where there was somuch to read,your face, those books,but so little of you,so li'l time...'

The Silly Motive

Author : Thought-Les      Blog : Versed for life      Date : 4/24/2013 12:24:00 PM

'There is nothing leftto commit to...Except for some headlines,long narratives in the nameof glory, their glory;then the motives, some silly moving motifs.My canvas needs blood,my blood;I need to bleed,on the ring... The stolen ring;on our bed,on the yellow, tainted sheets.Some mails lull me to death,ever night;the bell then calls mefor the next round, rudely;into the harsh lights of lifeon well-paved roads.'

Hell Bent!

'The tombstone was cementedwell within Queen Victoria'scathedral for travellers,some going away fromthe sanity London holds,others to the insanity inside thepagan watering holes ofa city I never saw.There I was lost,in black pools, her bleary eyes;lost in the large stew potI stirred, and stirred;boiling withered berries for red wine...It never was red enough for her,I slit my wrist... Not red enough, again;see you in hell!'

'; Oh I forgot,just like I forget to sleep,these days of spring...When the birds sing, make love.See, I don't read life,or its books;when I find a paperback,I tear its cover,build a wobbly ship,and float it down the drainthat takes out the sinsof my commute,to the depths of thiscity I call home.Then, my heart betrays me,halfway through that peeledbestseller...Yes, I forgot how to write.;'

'The bell rings,five rings of glory it is...Silence! Of respect, wisdom, of pain;this silence is silver here, not golden like the English phrase of yore;but this day is India's, made in England.Dust settles only to rise as a storm;a village bursts into a mela:Laughter louder than crackers;laced with sweat, joy, grit n blood...Yeah, the bond of blood;now let there be lights, camera n action.Lights!

It's emptiness!No! No... This flash blinds me,drags me away, far from rest,from silence, from my home;to face 'em all, the only reality.'
