Submerge

I the keeper of secrets,

walks into the sea like
a puppy parting with it's teether

a magician trading subtlety
for the open waves to hit me again.

Desire

So much desire,
so much more to see
so much to be
take me there
to the music,
to the lovely dresses,
the drawings,
the dogs,
the places i haven't seen,
the loves i haven't known, yet.

Note to remember

It is so easy to write anyone off

anyone ahead, or below or

with you, 

anyone who has something you don't,

desirable or not,

to convince yourself, where you are at is better

than where the world is

you may be there tomorrow

or perhaps you were yesterday,

and who knows what pain and joys

have got them there;

what it will take you

to get there.

Those who create things of beauty

all look within

and every one's depth, is as valid.

This Side That Side : Re-storying Partition by Vishwajyoti Ghosh, Process work

A wave, a year, two,
lost
in the make up of the mind.
Corners
of the city,
on closed terraces,
I spent countless evenings
lost in the make up of your mind.
Once the door shuts,
I search for it's marks.
Open the windows to the world,
but I'm a clean slate again,
with nothing to remember.

Those Up There

No matter what you have (or don't) tomorrow, be modest.
With power, you have the power to raise those who deserve to be raised, those who the world ordinarily ignores. Those who go against the current and most often, become victims of collective cowardice and blame.
Achievement is a responsibility first, a promise, and then a luxury.

beauty is, steadiness
