Dreams and Dreaming

Some Recent Works...

you draw a boundary on my hyaline heart and 
it opens a gash in me like the shattering of a mirror 
I wish that memories were but names in the sand 
erasable; not just you, but whatever that you ebbed with in the river.

between the haunted mind and a possessed one
and the thin line between the desired dream and the floating nightmare...
yes i want you back...but not so much...not... like this...

Chasing the shadows...

Whose is it anyway?
The shadows that surface as I chase the light
Or the light that surfaces as I chase the shadows…
How can I be so certain of not getting it and yet keep running
Or is it you who comes after me?

the coming together...

of bounds and unboundedness

enveloped boundaries

locating the I in You

Summer

madmen

"Cause I'd rather stay here
With all the madmen
Than perish with the sadmen roaming free
And I'd rather play here
With all the madmen
For I'm quite content they're all as sane
As me"
-David Bowie

slaughter house

" har taraf har jagah beshumar aadmi, phir bhi tanhaiyon ka shikaar aadmi
subah se shaam tak bojh dhota hua ,apni hi laash ka khud mazaar aadmi
har taraf bhaagte daudhte raaste, har taraf aadmi ka shikaar aadmi
roz jeeta hua roz marta hua ,har naye din naya intezar aadmi
zindagi ka mukkaddar safar dar safar ,aakhri saans tak bekaraar aadmi"
- a ghazal by Nida Fazli (sung by Jagjit Singh in an album 'Sajda')
Who is to blame.... we are they and they are us....
Anyone can be the next in this carnage of humanity...
