The truth of a lie

I wanted to hide a truth.
I told a lie.
No one thought it was true.
I know I have hidden my truth.
Like the green leaves in daylight,
Everyone knew I hid something,
But no one dared to ask,
For they knew it was a lie.
One day I revealed the green.
They called it yellow.
My heart was broken.
I flew down the tree,
I thought I would be a lie again,
That I would fly like a bird.
But I am the truth,
I was just a fallen leaf.

Our bodies.....

Our bodies can’t be,
What our mind can do apart.
It is always away, far and wild,
Perhaps in the snowy woods that captured a billion water drops;
Innocent them, I know, the fate of being locked in an ice cube.
Once I waited, till it melted to the volume of your drink,
Then I knew freedom is being among.
As many invidious molecules of his drink,
I drank past his apple throat.
But we need each other,
I can’t let me off the enzymes of your bowel.
Neither can I live out of your shit, sweat and urine.
I am wretched, as any water can be.
I know my soul doesn’t matter.
I have to flow,
And we are together.
Our bodies are one.

Counting on me.....

I am into the world much the same,
The damages done the same,
The world within me too the same,
A wonder is what remains till the end.
I tried to be a wonder,
I remained till the end,
Then I asked who will remain,
I thought no one would remain.
I tried to laugh.
If there is some other way to express my grief,
I would have cried.
To the flower that woke up last from the bud,
I asked why you are late.
It said I am on time; only you counted me later.
I thought it tried to stay for ever.
The tree has to fall if it was to be, I reasoned.
But when the tree fell, the flower no one thought about.
