Hiatus. Maybe I'll post all at one go another time.

Mismatch
Copyrights Reserved© LeX Productions 2006
That lush calm, rich silence
Blankets the soul, channeling peace
The very untainted nature of rain
At its most saccharine, a sight to behold
Nothing prima facie, it has always been and will be
Torrents tear down in a crusade
Bent at an angle, the wind’s protractor
Droplets accumulate, fall off ledges
Yet you wonder why in such a world rain-infused
That the very elements it encapsulates
Belied by a masquerade of old and modern ills
War, hypocrisy, bloodshed, depression
Love for the ephemeral, living likewise
If only we left Mother Nature to her devices
And ours to the will of the One above
Ever constant rain is, yet enthralling in its vicissitudes
It is every thing we are not.

Ripple Mnemonics
Copyrights Reserved© LeX Productions 2006
A few stones carelessly tossed
Ripples erupting on impact
Forming quaint little circles
With boundaries criss-crossing
Like misshapen stitches on cloth
Or perhaps for a brief moment
Cesspools of disquiet
The image singes into my mind
Its imprint brings forth a memory
In vividness, seemingly distant
I recall the times when things were more certain
When I could always count
On someone close by
Probably you yes?
When all hearts contained were
Innocence in truest essence
And the future did not seem so uncertain
As it ever did now
Not that it matters any more
Than the splashes from insignificant ripples
Stones move and stop and move
But they remain where they are
At least for now

Reminiscences and Reflections
Copyrights Reserved© LeX Productions 2006
Charm of the moment not lost
The leaves rustles, the darkness casts pallor upon the skies
The branches sway in endless reverberation
Rain intensified in pace, mirror of life unfolds
The pace quickens, quickens like bullets fired
From a gun created not too long ago
A metamorphosis of sorts from what it used to be
Casting a shadow upon the papers, photos, memories
Yet they remain firmly in place, paperweight-bound
Rain and the calming winds that accompany
And the inebriated silence
A salve in a world of chaos
Just like the memories marked and compartmentalized
Ensconced in the deepest chambers of my heart
Safely out of reach
A semblance of understanding emerges amidst torrents
Of the mechanisms of stark reality

Perspectives of Wind
Copyrights Reserved© LeX Productions 2006
The clouds of storm congregate
A gust comes forth in the darkness
My hand reaches out
Attempting to grasp it in futility
It continues charging
In a direction self-dictated
Brushing across my outstretched palm
It takes no heed from anyone
Such defiance, the cheek of force
Sending even the crowns of mighty trees
Flailing in the breeze
A sensation of cold ensues
No interregnum exists, nor should it
Never stopping to catch its breath
The wind of Mother Nature knows no bounds
Just like those that reside in time

A Walk of Reflection
Copyrights Reserved© LeX Productions 2006
The chilling night wind twisting through
Veiled in darkness, constantly hidden
Thick leaves and overgrowth give way
Stopped midway by yet another
In the opposite direction
One can only imagine what cavorts
Through the mind of the concealed
Yet in further presponderance
Seemingly echoing
The confines of one's mind
A melancholy steeped in depth
The weariness of the days past
Pressed hard for an answer
But none comes forth
A dried-up fountain that flows no more
That we persist in
Choosing the paths that mislead
That press toward destinations
Of great futility, little fruition
Perhaps it would be foolish to deem all at present
Foolish, unabashed folly in essence
All too many had objectives of noble nature,
Of unperturbed peace and joy. But alas!
Things seldom follow singular routes
Crafted and lovingly planned within minds
We will but in vain at times
A rude awakening in the midst of night

The Futuristic Illusions
Copyrights Reserved© LeX Productions 2005
As the winds gently touch my forehead
Tossing my hair carelessly aside
The waves surge forward with great vigour
Obstinately against the rocks
Glancing at the clouds
Stars planted immaculately in between
Worries are ostensibly distant
Yet they remain with constancy
The chilly winds trigger
An unprecedented whirlwind within
Doubts come flooding again
Suffusing every nook and corner
The future seems so uncertain
Impossible to fathom in its intricacy
Kismet's crazy ideas
Messing with the sanity of our minds
Will one's hopes and dreams
Ever see the light of day?
Will love and friendship
Simply fade away like passing clouds?
Could everything we cherish and love
Just perish like the flicker of a match?
The journey ahead appear precarious
Fraught with obstacles at every turn
The future is but inevitable
A new dawn awaits
