I love how a still freezes a moment, and how deep even an ordinary thing can look once it's frozen. The words mattered as much as the pictures, so they're here too.
So much more to say
And even more to listen.
I sit in solitude and wonder,
Was it because of the limited time
Or because of other priorities.
But it is still too early to say
It's too soon to come to a conclusion
Maybe time have a different plan altogether
Or maybe those other priorities will stand strong,
long enough to finish everything.
The universe always finds a funny way to do things
And maybe this will be delightfully funny
I hope :)
and the absurdity of me ... writing this.

I understand,
Because that's what i do
When things become unbearable to deal with
When you don't feel like talking for days
When you are unsure of your position in this world
Or when you simply can't choose between butterscotch and chocolate
Just remember one thing
You are not alone,
I am with you ... always
And
I understand
Because that's what i do

...and if someone would have screamed my name I wouldn’t have heard for I’ve said goodbye so many times in my short life that farewells are a muscular task and I’ve taught them well.
There’s a place by the side of the railway near the lake where I grew up and I used to go there to burry things and start anew.
I used to go there to say goodbye.
I was young and did not know many people but I had hidden things inside that I never dared to show and in silence I tried to kill them,
one way or the other,
leaving sin on my body
scrubbing tears off with salt
and I built my rituals in farewells.
Endings I still cling to.
Then days passed by and I spent them with my work
and now I’m writing letters I will never dare to send.
But there is this one day every year or so
when the burden gets too heavy
and I collect my belongings I no longer need
and make my way to the ocean to burn and drown and start anew
and it is quite wonderful, setting fire to my chains and flames on written words
and I stand there, starring deep into the heat until they’re all gone.
Nothing left to hold me back.

"Well, Now,
If little by little you stop loving me i shall stop loving you little by little.
If suddenly you forget me do not look for me , for i shall already have forgotten you.
If you it think long and mad , the wind of banners that passes through my life and you decide to leave me at the shore of the heart where i have roots ,
remember that on that day , at that hour , i shall lift my arm and my roots will set off to seek another land" - Pablo neurda , if you forget me

When ends meets,
From the make believe paradise
To this implausible world,
for a brief time
or through a little incident,
In that instance
One truly starts to grasp
the enormity of life,
as everything fades for that moment
and only the sense of smile is left.
Only for that tick of the clock
one has found the 'Happy'. .

Comes the tipping point in life, when we decide to a ‘stop and search’ and our emotional police bring us to a standstill. This allows us to scan all the little details in the spectrum of our being; scour all fuzzy or cryptic elements that are floating around in our mind and restore the fault lines in the cluttered tale of our life.

It's been way to much now,
He don't want to hold it inside anymore.
For the pain he carry inside him
Is bigger than his stomach.
For the worries he carry inside him
Are heavier than his own weight.
He don't want to hold it anymore,
He don't want to feel it anymore.
The bird who dreamt of flying in freedom
is stuck in strom somewhere.
The idolizer who was a firm believer
is loosing hope now,
He has been for quite a while now.
This all is a scam,
This all is a conspiracy.
Ceaser is in danger now,
He needs a savior.

Life will break you.
Nobody can protect you from that,
and living alone won't either,
for solitude will also break you with its yearning.
You have to love.
You have to feel.
It is the reason you are here on earth.
You are here to risk your heart.
You are here to be swallowed up.
And when it happens that you are
broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt,
or death brushes near, let yourself
sit by an apple tree and
listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps,
wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself "you tasted as many as you could.”

I am traveler,
Trying to find my destination in every stop i make,
Or stumble upon willingly or unwillingly.
But the soil on any stop doesn't welcome me like i hope it would,
So i cover my feets with hard boots thinking unlike the soil maybe the store would welcome me
And there too, i have to face disappointment.
Now here i am again, going back to the road and again thinking that this time i will not stop anywhere but the end of the road...if it exists

What if i tell u i tried,would u believe me then...
i tried but it didn't make any difference
I tried but i haven't move an inch from where i was yesterday
And after every effort, i try to make something out of it .so that the next time, i can go a little further in what i think is the right direction
but all of this dosen't make any sense anymore..
There is something i am missing
Maybe there is something left to figure out in the process
Maybe some right things to say
Maybe some right thing to do
Or maybe some right things to believe
Whatever this last part of the puzzle is
It is not inside the box
And maybe it's time to search somewhere else
In something far greater then that puzzle box...
