Veiled Messages

We quietly observe

The subtle

Inequalities

Living

Desires strength

Always navigating

Veiled

Dis-criminality

We consciously detect

The covert

Hypocrisies

Existing

Requires consciousness

Always negotiating

Underground

Boundaries

We instinctively understand

The harsh

Realities

Surviving

Commands creativity

Always questioning

Inner

Understanding

Wavering

We fluctuate

Between

Comfort and complaint

Satisfaction

Evasive
Like our intimacy with the cosmos

It’s turbulent presence

Reassuringly protective

Appreciation

Requires more than

Casual peeking

We gravitate

Towards

Comfort and complacency

Dissatisfaction

Resented

Like our intimacy with the earth

Surviving on terms precarious

Appreciation

Requires more than

Casual breathing

We evaluate

Between

Vanity and victory

Discontent

Perfected

Like our easy communion with duality

Surfacing in cycles unpredictable

Appreciation

Requires more than

Casual being

Stepping Inside (again!)

Your honesty
Hits me like daylights’ reality
Embracing all the broken bits
Love
Slowly mending
More than broken dreams
Fundamentally
Harvesting
Pieces of ourselves
Eventually
We grasp
The act of living

My dishonesty
Hits me like the darkest morning four
Embracing all the broken bits
Love
A Tediously onerous crusade
Inside the mind of time
Fundamentally
Harvesting
Pieces of ourselves
Eventually
We clench
A refreshed sanity

Defiant

I colour

My self-portrait

Black

In-between chores in the house

Disliking these moments

When the mind

Needs a pause

Daily routines

Desires no cause

Life

Prompted by unwarranted order

Or we have failed

Acknowledging these norms

Beaten into me

Discordant

I scratch

My self-portrait

In radiant colour

In-between reading the lines of a fallen shero

Loving these moments of escape

When the mind

Needs a pause

Overruling

The dead and distant orders

Life

Prompted by conventional freedoms

Or we have failed

Embracing these norms

Shaped by me

Truant

I whitewash

My self-portrait

In sepia

In-between now and then

Accepting inevitable change

When the mind

Needs a pause

Assuming

Some kind of daily pace

Life

Prompted by a survivalists realism

Or we have failed

Challenging these norms

I maintain my space

Questioning

By Simone  Naik, 2013-04-28.

Time Passes

I trace the laughing lines

Of the passing time

In my skin

I colour away

Accumulated years

From my hair

I count the scars

Of little accidents

On the ridges of my hands

I gradually understand the accumulating facts

Now the grown-up in the tale

Is me
