Chain of Pearls

Written in 2006

The girl was under a spell,
Cast by a story tell,
Who painted a magic world,
Hiding the richest of pearls.

Each pearl looked very precious,
Giving a wonderful impression,
Collecting them one by one,
Was amazingly fun.

Each pearl made part of a chain,
Which could be worn only by the vain,
And the story tell had given them to her,
To show her all his love and care.

The pearls could be found during good weather,
A beautiful chain was put together,
Embellishing the girl's neck,
Making her the envy of all the rest.

As time went passing by,
Some pearls were falling, no one knew why,
They were just changing colour,
Turning grey making her sour.

The story tell assure her,
That the pearls were the purest,
So the girl could not understand,
The reason behind their end.

The girl loved him so much,
That she kept her faith intact,
She continued wearing the chain,
Even though he would not explain.

As time rolled by the pearls started falling,
Others looked simply appalling,
But each time the girl asked,
The story tell smiled and made no fuss.

When the chain was left with just one pearl,
The girl could not help to pretend,
That everything was going on fine,
As she was innocent but also sly.

Just as the story tell was starting,
To explain, the last pearl parted,
From the chain which was holding,
The pearls in order of bestowment.

The girl then removed the chain,
And gave it back to where it came,
As she realised all of a sudden,
That the pearls were not precious, but a puzzle.

So what was left from all this,
Was a chain which no one would miss,
And a story tell holding in his hands,
Pearls which found alone their end.

Hide and Seek

Written on 26th June 2008 in Pokhara (Nepal)

Fear of death,
Lost all respect,
Facing the truth,
Words that can't soothe.

Sitting in the dark,
Thoughts falling apart,
Feelings kept repressed,
Nothing to this respect.

Chills running down the spine,
Emotions that are not mine,
Flashes of light in front of me,
Crawling, unable to see.

A warmth which envelops me,
A season which lets me be,
A smile making its way outside,
That's enough...I will not hide.

The Road

Written on 28th May 2008 in Kathmandu (Nepal)

Sitting on the floor,
Staring at a wooden door,
Thinking about life,
Analysing what is right.

Gathering all the thoughts,
Biting nails as if they were claws,
Sniffing in the filthy air,
But hey...do I really care?

Starting a journey is an adventure,
Captivating each victory and surrender,
It's not how I thought it would be,
It's so much better the way I see.

The comprehension of other cultures,
Which viewers may see as vultures,
The realisation of just being,
Without the need of actually seeing.

The purity of the heart,
The most marvelous of all arts,
The smile within an eye,
Means more than a mere sight.

We were born here to stay,
In whichever form we may,
It's just a matter of discovery,
Which leads to the road of recovery.
