  1. The Souls of the Dead

    The Souls of the Dead

    Where do we go
    we weary souls
    who fear not the shadows
    and smile in comradery
    with death.

    How the light
    shuns from us
    but at this we only
    laugh.

    For we despair not
    at the unknown
    nor turn away
    from exploration
    into those dark places.

    We souls
    that tremble not
    before forces
    unseen.

    We who are not

  2. Dualities



    Always value independence
    Don't put your faith in other's gods.
    Every person is a prison
    And love merely a transience.

    Ignore that distant motherland
    Don't cleave to virtues mostly flawed.
    Every concept is a danger
    And hate will just misunderstand.

    So practise aloof detachment
    Don't be a puppet of the times.
    Every action has an outcome
    And eventually a judgement.

Sadness was there too, but only the impression of sadness, like a dark animal sleeping somewhere inside. I was everything and nothing. I was in love, I am in love. I was fulfilled and yet strangely empty. Here and not here. My appreciation, my sense of everything was heightened; I craved warmth, skin, contact with everyone and ...

    (Warning: Upcoming rant)

    You know what really gets under my skin? When modern moviegoers can't stand to sit through five minutes of a film like Strangers on a Train or The 39 Steps, and yet enjoy shallow big-budget modern Hollywood thillers with familiar leading roles, who despite their good looks, are utterly one-dimensional and have no character whatsoever.

    Modern thrillers are the bratty grandchildren of Alfred Hitchcock and are respected far more than their creator ...

  5. Dear person I met during harinam on the plaza

    Dear person I met during harinam on the plaza,
    In the occurrence of which I realized
    every detail of the circumstances of our encounter
    was absolutely unique,
    and yet simultaneously eternal -

    To you I wish the greatest happiness,
    be you an illusion or real.
