Porcelain


If I could create my ideal mannequin
I would allow her to bleed and breathe.
To be humble when she is envied,
to never feel worthless
when devotion is not returned,
because she would sense the superior.
The awful would not come near,
for her poise would craft a wall
so tall that they could never peek over...

Her skin would be of porcelain,
her cheeks a rosy blush,
her eyes would be the modest of green,
that could not be defined until they aligned
with someone as sincere.
Her lips of pastel pink dye,
could not be kissed until they beamed.
And the gentleness of her little hands,
could only be touched by the finest.

This mannequin would not fall short,
for she would possess what we all strive for,
she would keep what we all give away.
And her eyes would tear only when
they crossed the bright sunlight.

If I could create my own mannequin,
I would make her everything that we all desire
a little more of heaven, and a little less of sin,
a little more of truth and a little less a liar.
This mannequin would have the eyes that could see,
A little more of what this world was meant to be.

A lucid dreamer can control his happiness and stregnth in a place that exists with his eyes closed. But a lucid liver can control his happiness and strength with his eyes open, heart awake, and with the world watching. Do you live your life building castles in the sky, or building a sky in your castle?

Hidden Rainbows


Colours fade, feelings weaken, and clammy hands turn dry
People change, music stops, and purity finds it’s lie
The past repeats, the slide gets rusty, becoming too tired to try

New beginnings...

Leave that behind, grab that new frame of mind,
Sit below the soft sky and above the fractured roads
don't look down, just climb,
let the chapters unload

Replace panic with control
Inhale strange air and look the future face to face
Now, behind the wheel of the soul
Drive to that perfect place

Gather your baggage and abandon it, the fire will launch on own
Smirk at hesitation and glide past with pride
Welcome the unknown,
Enjoy the sting, enjoy the mess, enjoy the ride

Maybe one day we'll all be happy enough to live in slow motion. These blackberries and business meetings have trapped us in a haste.

A Great Read


A good friend bought me this book for my birthday last month. I read it on my flights to and from NYC. Ordered my bottle of white, sipped away, and was glued to the words of Robin Sharma. It's wonderful to know there are people out there who want to share their wise words with the entire world. What an inspiring book, seriously.

"In the fable, the garden is a symbol for the mind. If you care for your mind, if you nurture it and if you cultivate it just like a fertile, rich garden, it will blossom far beyond your expectations. But if you let the weeds take root, lasting peace of mind and deep inner harmony will always elude you"

My Drink and My Cigarette


find in my mind,
a place to sip my drink,
don't even think, let my anxiety sink,
and like ink,
let the red trickle down my throat
like Stevenson wrote,
" wine is bottled poetry ", so I read
the letters filling up my need
my eyes are closed, I feel such greed,
proceed ...

a Parliament is between my fingers
my desire lingers,
the glow lights my coffin nail,
I inhale,
and it fills my body like a plug
akin to my favourite drug,
I forget,
what it's like to sweat,
over the little things
I've grown these wings,
I'm bursting of power and drive,
this taste and this pull,
have given something fresh to life

some say death is near,
but it's already here,
I've witnessed my own crash
one hand I carry my blood
and in the other, my ash

Breathing means Living


Holding your breath underwater prevents you from dying. Holding your breath out of water prevents you from living. Breathe in – live out LOUD! Go see things, discover, travel, make friends, build bridges, burn 'em, eat sushi, prank call someone, bungee jump, sleep naked, sleep with someone else naked, kick them out of your place in the morning, have a drink on a Monday night, light a joint on a Sunday night, meditate, watch a kids' movie, stand up for yourself, make a mistake - purposely, break a heart, buy someone a coffee, spend your paycheck on a designer bag, cry over spent money, stay home with Mom on a Saturday night, learn to play the guitar, run, run, run! And get started, today.
