543 Faces

543 faces

Smudged, ugly, vivacious

A pair of fervent eyes

Sees ‘em all

672 colors

Light, dark, bright

A single color

Explains ‘em all

This vision is your souvenir

And so are those ugly faces

Only if I could recall

Those 543 faces in 672 colors each

I wouldn’t need

A need for you

Surpass the disguise

Choke the wise

Accelerate all passion

Run, run

Speed up the light

Kill the Gods

For once let this vision

Be your guide

In the five page story

Of and on life

Liked.I started thinking in the other way too.a prism in front of my eye.A kaleidoscopic perception.Each man and his own vision.never colliding.Can it happen even in Utopia?Like the cable wires always parellel
Nice..
Keepwriting.
will be your regular reader.
Thanx for the visit.

Lovely!!!

A need so strong
to be myself
To free my soul
in every sense
to see myself
In the one true light
Which defines me
which binds me tight
shatter the masks
tear them into a million shreds
wipe the crimson dust
the heart's long dead
Show me myself
No mirrors which crack
Without swirls or mists
The white on the black

action and reaction :l

Man in Painting!! Thanks... I wrote this one a night after I was stoned... I don't dope anymore though..

Beauty and the beast:

Thanks

There is a crack in my mirror
My clock ticks
My heartbeat makes more noise
Then the drop
That dips

Crickets copulate and sing
A short life they live
Can tomorrow be a little late?
“Today” can you wait?
The voids of orgasms
And chunks of darkness
Search for
Songs of passion

Today is as they say
Little light and little gray
Shades of yesterday
A little hope a little ray
There is a crack in my mirror
Will you fix it today?

i just lack the sense for english poetry sometimes.. unless it is simple enough..

ranjana said...

can u explain me the significance of 543 faces n 672 colors?

Akshay said...

Ishqia: This one in particular really doesn't have one meaning....even I don't understand it at times...lol

Akshay said...

Ranju

This was primarily to describe what I felt after I was stoned....now I wanted to use an even number and an odd number....then I think I took some book to get these two numbers.... my mind was racing and there were so many thoughts about different people who were around me... their different "faces" and their "colors"
