Hypnotised

-
i sit at my window sill
on an early rainy morning. 

i stare down at my empty cup
filled with hot, steaming tea priorly

i am hypnotised. 

i can hear the raindrops
fall on my roof

i can feel the presence 
of the sheltered birds 

i am hypnotised.  

i look up from my stupor 
to fall into another 

the fairy lights on my
neighbour's window 

i am hypnotised. 

my eyes shift to 
the next movement 

the swaying of trees 
in unity 

i am hypnotised. 

the sound of thunder,
a flash of lightning

the earth tries to 
shake me out of my stupor

i am hypnotised. 

i sit with the cup
still in my hand 

i sit next to 
a broken dream 

i am hypnotised.

But I know that it was a pathway built prior to my entrance into this world towards you. I tried to make sense of it but I couldn't and I just went along with it, like I was floating. It wasn't just my body that was floating but also my mind. It was in a daze; a daze that felt like love but i...

Transition

Warmth.   That's what I feel right now.  I am sitting in my balcony, in my comfortable white chair. There's a cup of peppermint tea on the table. And I stare into the scenery.  The sky resembles the ocean today. The sky's colour makes it look like a poem about philosophy. The birds are swimming and returning to their abodes. There's an occasional aeroplane floating through the sky, on its way to its destination. The rumble of its engine, when it moves through the clouds, makes it feel like the clouds are producing this sound. The naked eye cannot see the litter. You'll have to dig deep within the sky to know what litters it. As I said, the sky resembles the ocean today.  A warm breeze passes by, and I take it as an indication to change my observation.  I always wonder, which is the perfect brown to fill the mountains on my canvas? Do I want it to be a deep brown or a light brown or another brown? But, will the mountains like it, if I choose to fill it with a c...
