I sigh

A soft breeze in a hot humid day. A swirling falling feather flying over the air. A slow ocean's wave bringing cold water to my toes. A violin string and beautiful music from the other room. A blank painting that captures my attention with its mysterious nothingness. I sigh; As I let go of a long warm hug or a tender kiss, And feel it winding away my pressure, A I let my walls, safely, come down for a second, And I start letting air into my lungs once again. A little boy’s genuine smile, An old man’s tears coursing his wrinkles, A lady humming her song in the orchard, A solider seeing his son for the first time. It's every beautiful thing that's bound to make me feel lost. I sigh. A harmonica's melody; I sigh again. -RK.

In my life.

Hear me speak, in my silence. Listen to my breath, in my death. See me cry, in my smiles. Watch me rise, as you fall. See my happiness, in my struggles. See the truth, within my lies. Watch the oceans, inside my eyes. Get away, of my life. I need space. I need peace.

In few words.

Crammed emotions inside you. Squeezed words jammed too. You need magic to get them out. You can’t find enough words, or courage. You keep them for yourself. If you tried, you won’t even spell. In few words, you can say it well In words of silence, I understand. Look into my eyes, I’ll take your hands. Stay silent and look at me.  Because, again my friend; In few words of silence,  your feelings; are what your heart tells. 

You can't escape.

Like feathers, things could fall. Like glasses, they break your soul. Alone or in a crowd, it chases you. Cause you are a part inside it all. You can’t escape. Do all what you want, so bad you will fail. Up or down, you will still be there. You can’t escape. Run or walk. Do everything. Life chases you and teaches you, The hard way. Hide under the blanket, shut the doors. You tried all the ways now. Reality says that you are still there. So Stop trying to escape.  and wash your sins instead.
