Other side

I found a glimpse of the other side
A parallel universe so beyond me
Another universe, different reality

Splashes of colour, light n sounds
Nothing like world where we live
Sensations pulsating and sublime

Radiant light sparkles all beings
Where movement meets silence
And syncs up to utter harmony

I found a glimpse of the other side
In a dream, I dreamt deep within
Another universe so far from me

Lies

I'm such a liar you know
No matter how much I try
To write about lofty things
All my poems are on love

But the love I have known
Is far from rosy fairytale
It's rather been a disaster
And I've hardly recovered

One I loved didn't look back
Nor did I mean much to her
All my poetry is just excuse
To cover up a broken heart

But this poetry is all mine
Whom can I go on to lie to
But myself, digging deeper
To hide up all my ugly scars

No wonder the searching
And all the hallucinations
It's just an elaborate scam
To cover what I really am

Voices

I don't think my voice was heard
Beyond these thick airtight walls

I thus learned the music of silence
Everything now resonates inside

The bits of coloured paper dreams
Now forms kaleidoscope of colours

Disparate noises from everywhere
Join to form the greatest symphony

Close

Yes I'm coming close
To an end to all ends
Final cliff after which
There is nothing else

A point of no return
As all of me unravels
Broken basic elements
To return all my debts

Yes I'm just so close
To final destination
As I bid thy farewell
Shadows slowly fade

True songs

Let the wind sing mellow songs
No words can catch its rhythm
Let the water gush and dance
No words can match its steps

With words I can only profess
The clouds of thoughts passing
Which can never match grace
Or depth of the natural world

So let the wind sing its tunes
Let me just sit still and listen
Let the water gush and dance
Let thy soul feel divine within

I am

I'm not who you think you know
I'm not what you believe you see
I'm also not what I desire to be
I'm not what I'd rather portray

The truth is simply just that I
Am what I am; I am, yes I am

Reflection

I couldn't see myself anymore
Even inner feelings were lost
So I tried to find a reflection
On the trusted looking glass

But the mirror was so dusty
Nothing really came across
I was a featureless contour
Might as well been a stone

I tried to then find myself
On a filled up wine glass
But the drink was tinted
So convoluted the glass

I tried to see a reflection
Upon my laptop monitor
But there the steady flow
Of stormy media blocked

Tired, disaffected and lost
I gave up, started to doze
And upon my closed eyes
A reflection arrived mine
