Insanity and Us

The clouds roll in…
Steady…Calm…Dark…
And, we burn
Like the world around us…

Bringing insanity to the fore…
Indulging in the dance of madness…
As, we embrace…
The mad rush…in the flow of life…

We seek each other…
To create…to think…to say…
So much that needs to be said
But, remains ensconced in silence…

And, we scream
Loud…Uninhibited…Unafraid…
Pushing boundaries…to find our place
To accept the fire…we are rushing towards

Yet, you and I feel safe
Left alone…
We find solace…as the world burns…
We helplessly watch…waiting for our turn

The Dreamer and his Memories

You came from the shadows…
Unencumbered…free…
You dreamed…you spoke…
And, showed us pictures…that seeped deep within

You refused the road oft taken
Fought, bloody wars…
And, then danced in the rapture of creation…
Because, only you could

Each frame a story…
Each idea a rebellion…
You carried difference with elegance
And, now you’re gone

So here’s to the lonely verandah…
Here’s to the untouched coffee & half-burnt cigarettes
You were a dreamer…

But, you were not alone…
