Eve

2011-12-19T07:01:00.000-08:00

He, the blemish to my reasoning, is reluctant to leave me.

Like a cut that doesn’t stop bleeding, he never gets elapsed.

Not to blame him, i let him zip that deal, long back, with wine.

And thereafter he called me vino de Jerez*.

He, the keeper of chateaus, was stunning like the roses of Lebanon and smelled of dry figs.

He knew the right time when vines budded and pomegranates bloomed.

He never saw a mirror or kissed a woman.

He was without shadows. His veins were purple.

Alone in the Hykala*, facing the west, I mastered the premise of evolution, from him.

He let me fall in love, then, out of it too.

The totem of my kind---

The star over my providence---

He refuses to leave me, alone.

"No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Heretic!

2011-06-11T23:52:00.000-07:00

"I am certain the younger generation will get fed up of the fundamentalist,
conservative mood in the country and change things.
I didn’t want to leave my home. At the same time, it’s not even as if I want the conservative element to be pushed out of society.
We are all part of a large family and when a child breaks something at home, you don’t throw him out, you try and explain things to him.
Those opposed to my art just do not understand it. Or have never seen it.

I do not love art less, I love humanity more. India is a completely unique country. Liberal. Diverse.
There is nothing like it in the world. This mood in the country is just a historical process.
For me, India means a celebration of life. You cannot find that same quality anywhere in the world."

M F Hussain RIP

Warm and salty blood runs sticky down my lips, my face, my throat…
You stalk me bold; through vicious slits of eyes; spewing venom as you boast and gloat

I am hemorrhaging inside; from swallowing countless jagged shards;
shattered remnants of the two of us; our tenuous fallen house of cards
Ill remains of what once was thought to be… an unbreakable work of artistic tempered glass;
then stained with seamless beauty; now a shattered cold morass

I walk this fatal fire on rusted razor wire… so the pain will help me overcome
this dread feeling of being nothing but a fading echo; hollow, bland and numb…
at least it helps me know that I’m alive; though… barely sane;
even if in the most primordial sense; as I succumb
to a loss of balance that now far outweighs… the gain…
and I no longer thrive… I just exist… in pure pretense

I Rise

2011-01-17T19:13:00.001-08:00

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise

Blue bird

2011-01-08T21:43:00.000-08:00

There's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody's asleep.
I say, I know that you're there,
so don't be
sad.

then I put him back,
but he's singing a little
in there, I haven't quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it's nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don't
weep, do
you?

"It happens so suddenly. We are going about our own mundane tasks when - a phrase of music, a shaft of sunlight on a snowy roof, a handful of yellow butterflies, or the arc of a bird diving to the earth, pierces us. For one brief moment, we are lifted out of our daily routine into the untold realms of light and beauty.

Then the moment is gone.

We are back on Earth - but we are not the same!"

I am a rock, I am an island

2010-12-24T08:19:00.000-08:00

"A winter's day in a deep and dark December- I am alone, gazing from my window to the streets below on a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow, I am a rock, I am an island.

I've built walls, a fortress deep and mighty that none may penetrate. I have no need of friendship, friendship causes pain. It's laughter and it's loving I disdain, I am a rock, I am an island.

Don't talk of love- well, I've heard the word before, it's sleeping in my memory. I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died, if I never loved I never would have cried, I am a rock, I am an island.

I have my books and my poetry to protect me. I am shielded in my armor. Hiding in my room, safe within my womb, I touch no one and no one touches me. I am a rock, I am an island.

And a rock feels no pain and an island never cries."

‎"Between me and You, there is only me.
Take away the me, so only You remain." - Mansūr-e Hallāj

Khushiyan Mile Humko…
Zyada Manga Hai Kahaan, Sarhadein Na Ho Jahaan,
Duniya Mile Humko…
Ek Lau Is Tarah Kyun Bhuji Mere Maula,
Ek Lau Zindagi Ki Maula."
