I AM

I am beautiful
I am free
I am loved
as can be

I am lit-up
I am gold
I am the story
yet untold

I am

Yes

I am

Sounds..

कौन कहता है दिल टूटने की आवाज़ नहीं होती 
कभी अश्कों के सैलाब 
और सिस्कियों की धुन को सुना है?

Who says there's no sound 
when a heart breaks
Every heard the gush of tears
and the cacophony of sobs?

Blues

I light up deep inside
in many different ways
Merely at the thought of you
Is it possible
That an encounter so brief
Can leave one so moved
So happy one moment
and at the thought of separation
The next, be so blue?

Impatient Dichotomy

I watch myself toss and turn
Dreaming of you
Smiling an amused smile
As grief pours down my face
Why am I in an unhappy place
I ask myself
When I know soon you'll be with me
Oh this impatient dichotomy

In an emotional whirlpool outside
From stillness within

I watch myself toss and turn.

I dance on the wings of hope
Even as sorrow wells
I build a rhythm all my own
amidst dark chaos
I hold my powerful own
as everything topples over

I am...

The angel's smile

I am..

God's child

Free to do, free to be

I am no one's prisoner

I am...

Me.

Here I am, 

the balance of the masculine

the yin of the yang

the shakti of the shakta 

carried away by a big, bad wolf

while you stand there

lynching each other

even as my screams

rend a yawning chasm in the sky

but not one of you move

so stuck in your own morality

your own ideas

your own righteousness

as I die

and as with me, the future 

slowly, yet surely

dies...
