I have often read that silence is considered golden, and that most times, it is better to keep your silence than utter the spoken word. So writing, to me was a great alternative to channeling that which for various reasons is never said aloud in words. Words, which sometimes in their simplistic ways mean what they say, and sometimes mean even more than that, when they make you feel the things, you too never said.
So as the silent words fall from the skies of my imagination and those that rise from the deepest abysses that exist in my mind, I catch them like raindrops in a cup and put them on paper to make some sense of a situation, feeling, or a random emotion….sometimes its raw and visible, and sometimes subtly wrapped in layers. Words, that randomly meet in a dance of life, sometimes forming an image, a story, or just stirring an emotion in the heart.
Some thoughts, some words, some memories, some moments, some dreams, some fiction, inspired by the elements of nature, the people who came and those that went away, some remembered, none forgotten, a few bits of my journey over some years.
Hope you enjoy this compilation under the theme ‘love still exists’.

falling
into an abyss
together,
holding
hands,
smiling
at
each other
knowing
of the uncertain end,
but
still smiling
still
holding
each
other's eyes
and
in that moment
everything
is
stationary
still
peaceful
real
meaningful
soulful
eternal,
till eternity.

you
burn me
like a
thirsting leaf,
exposed
to
the relentless
summer sun,
light
me up
like a piece of
stubborn iron,
smelting
in
a heartless
furnace flame,
ignite
me
to combustion
with a single touch,
like
a lit match
on innocent
fossil fuel,
you
are my fear
you are my love,
you
are fire
I am earth,
you
desire to burn
and I, to be burnt.

drop
by
drop,
I sip,
the
elixir
of life,
red
mixes
with
red,
tense
senses
numbed,
as
one
meets
the
other,
and,
somewhere
far
away,
rain
drops
fall,
onto
the
restless
ocean,
seamless
connections
occur,
as
common
essences
merge,
and,
drop
by
drop
slowly,
everywhere,
a peaceful
calm
returns.

teach
me
how to
dance
the way
that you
do,
I
will
pretend
not
to
know
the steps,
for
as
long as
I can
make you
let me
hold you.
