Free yourself...

Freedom is hostage to the idea of captivity. Sometimes subservience is so ingrained in our psyche that hostility to the idea of freedom is an unconscious decision our mind makes to legitimize the ways in which we pain ourselves. Human beings are the only animals who can find pleasure in not just inflicting pain on oneself but in fact subjecting themselves to it while all the time criticizing the world for undermining them. In fact, we are all captive to hypocrisy. Freedom is captive to human hypocrisy.

Absence of the Absolute

Love never meant to explain itself to anyone. Taint seeps in when we try to explain it to ourselves, to justify or quantify it. The only source of redemption is to forgive without inhibition. However, absoluteness was a never a quality that nestled comfortably in the spectrum of human emotion.

Winter Fire

Winter fire
Burning higher
Melting away my self control.
My hands are shaking,
A cold sweat's breaking
I have to move on now.

It came to me
Like a flash of light
In the middle of a dreary winter night

I thought I was a grown-up girl
Didn't ever think
These things were real

I'd moved on to a life of being alone
And then you came back to hold my hand
How can I be who I used to be
In the face of this hot winter fire.

I'd never thought it would be you
Never experienced this fantasy reel
But life is a ride, so says everyone
Winter fire engulfed me before I could breathe.

Winter fire's burning higher
I'm without control, I'm swerving now
I have to get off this road and find another
Another that's mine and can't be stolen.
