Where have the butterflies gone?

December '2014

Where have the butterflies gone?

They have flown into another dimension
    where the birds won't eat their eggs..

They are in hiding
    waiting to spring up all together
        and startle me..

They are planning a surprise party
    under the hedges
        for it's the moth's second birthday..

They are meditating
    to learn to levitate
        as flying is to hard..

Unclosed Chapters

17th September '09

Unclosed chapters remain.

You don’t even know that they exist. And then one day, suddenly while you’re walking down the road or while you’re in the shower they’ll enter your mind with a flash. Detailed pictures, concrete words and you’d be catapulted back in time. The feelings shall gush. You’d be vulnerable yet not really threatened, but threatened, still.

How to shut the door on these figments of mind? How to be prepared for a sudden sneak in? How to close the chapters when removed from their space, time and people?
