The Goat and The Water Bearer

-


Earth and Air! 
He was grounded, She loved to fly! 
They called her The Water Bearer,
While, I was just a Goat! 

Air, she blew everything she had, 
Water and all. 
She  poured her torrential rain, 
Into the scorching sun burnt dry Earth! 

“You’re warm” said she. 
“And You’re cold” said I.
We shook our hands, 
Testing each other’s might!
She felt weak, after all she was just Air!

I was wrong! 
She then engulfed me, took me to space! 
She was just everywhere! 
She even filled the vacuum I had within me.
I breathed her! I tried to hold on to her. 
I couldn’t contain her! 
She just blew me away! 

The dust settled in

The Earth, craved for Air again. 
Or at least a breeze in my direction.
She was nowhere to be found! 
I asked, but got no reply.

Leg > Bike

 I met with an accident today! To save my new bike I used my leg to cushion its fall! I have a crack on my middle toe bone! I had gone to Saptagiri hospital initially, the first doctor who operated on me was a student, he was learning to stitch on my leg. During the stitch, I insisted that a real doctor do this. Then the next guy there tried adjusting my bone back over the stitch without knowing that it’s stitched. I was in soo much pain.  Then we decided to go to Baptist hospital, I got admitted and got my surgery done. Atleast I saved my bike.

Snow!

I know it’s hot and humid, But why do I have cold feet?  Butterflies in my stomach,  I’m feeling all that again.  I know I’m in love.  She’s an artist,  Paints sceneries and teaches me the art too!  Organised, clarity in speech,  My “crush”  Then I noticed the ring,  There was perhaps a man in her life?  I secretly wished for someone, just like her.  Then it snowed, just on the inside, My heart felt heavy A song left my lips,  I prayed, I manifested!  Now I wait.

 6:14 am! I took a shower and got ready for class at 7:00 am! But the class got cancelled. So I ended up playing the piano and guitar and singing some old songs.  Then I lost the mood to play the instrument and came back to bed sweating! Then I listened to a lot of Tamil songs, some of which I want to arrange on guitar. Maybe I was listening to a lot of melodic sad songs, the voice lulled me to a semi sleep state.  Then it was class time from 4:00 till 8:30 pm. Long day.
