Anamnesis

A quaint winter

Dim is the lantern

(Though) Fog obscures the dark

(There) Shines the broken ark

Star filled night

The sky gleams in diamond bright

A string of falling stars

So close yet so far

Dreams, they are nebulous 

A void, filled in dust

This time we share

A deer with a silent stare

Transcends the universe

A bliss or a curse?

Deer that died all alone

Its eyes, tear borne

Boxed in Paradox

He deliberately starts humming the lines from the Iron Maiden song ‘Blood Brothers’ - “Keep on making the same old mistakes..” and looks smirkingly at me. I don’t seem to have the urge or the intent to react to him. Just a smile of acknowledgement as if to complete that last verse of the song without remorse..

“When you think that we've used all our chances

And the chance to make everything right

Keep on making the same old mistakes

Makes untipping the balance so easy

When we're living our lives on the edge

Say a prayer on the book of the dead”

~ Blood Brothers - Iron Maiden

The Prophecy of the Wanderer

There's a kind of ecstasy

A never ending fantasy

The wandering wanderer's learnt all around

Something's on the cards today

Something's always far away

Beyond the farthest star dreams surround

Right outright his prophecy

The generations' legacy

Within the reasoned lies life'd begun

The wasted strumings all along

The wasted mornings gone too wrong

The rested melody to savour

A drifted abstract notion

A sober hallucination

The surreal reverie manoeuvres

There's a certain destiny

No matter the epiphanies

The senseless dreams wont still be over

(Where) I've always been with you

And in those dreams I've dreamt of you

Across the CROSS built by, the wanderer

The Wonder Reef

High waves break away

So stern, gushed on the strand

My dreams sail away

Down the reef, way across the deep 

Cold breeze, breathes to me

(That) I'll fly, up above the sky

(Those) old dreams (still) strive to live   

Around the reef, way across the deep

Alone, forlorn 

This shoreline

I gaze, straight ahead

(Into) this murky skyline 

(While) the sun’s across the line 

Suddenly, the fear goes free

And the dark seems all the more sublime

The stars I see, blissfully

Deathly waves too sound out so divine

(Now) I could sail on, till I enfold

The wonder reef, way across the deep

faded & gone

There I saw 

you rise up tall

There I saw

your divinely stroll 

Then I crawled

crawled over the wall 

And I saw

red light in the dawn

And I saw

you faded and gone

There I saw

you float out in song

There I saw

(it) shine ever so strong

Then I strolled

just down by the lawn

And I saw

those hazardous thorns   

And I saw

you faded and gone

There over, right in the blur

I know I've been for a while

In the end, I feel blessed

As I see your smitten smile

But I am sure you'll fade again

You shielded my eyes and said,

‘This moment’s long drawn (out)

This lifetime & beyond’

And then there I saw, 

you faded and gone
