Half empty always | Akshay Kumar

To feel or to fear, that is the question

To heal the mind with every beating heart

Or to kneel before the mind which walks on

the path of infinite miles for unheard possibilities

To climb high or to fall deep

In miles of dark space

hoping for a calm lake

as clean as cold air;

Its art, feels the known air

ah that's the rub,

centred, so calming, you hold your breathing

your muscles, your thoughts, your moments, your cage, your space, you hold

To remember, to reminisce whenever you can

Without the true real production of this dramatic union

this unfortunate artistic action comedy

on a moving stage with ever-growing thrust

through fire within and without us

For.. 3.. to.. 1

Barging lives calling space

no faces, still traces of myself already floating as much as anyone's

the high places in this water drunk mirror

standing on ahead

hands still down but not so heavy

gently, against gravity merely for one's self

meeting gravity in wider space:wiser

the maze, confused between

Does she feel or does she believe?

Is it rhyme or reason?

takes or opinions?

a break? or now broke at last?

At this stage our understanding,

our unfair actions over fair gentle comedy

the portrait of stretched lips,

the reach of ones heart,

the landscape of breathing eyes,

the vision of ancient entities,

such a traveller merging himself with worlds of all & world of ones

None but it's own,

is pairing with world's despair

Know, it's not gentle, it's not fair

the act of righteousness has pockets for both good and bad

but the depth of the body it is supposed to hold is sewn, just as love

not any form of love but just love

it's that body requiring warmth

it's that love that is its warmth

it's a thread that is its pain and peace

the pocket of this wisdom would have to shortlist his desires in this world

learnt while keeping an open eye and closed while guiding the path

An optimism is with which this glass is made and our eyes, our wants, our efforts, our confidence & self belief is keeping the mirror made of water

half-empty always
