Coconuts in the train

Oh train! Oh train!

Why hast thou not blessed me with thy divine stink?

And thy melancholy sound?

I miss thee already.

Oh train! Oh train!

Why have I not been able to see thy plushly littered seats?

Why have I not heard thee groan and growl yet?

Oh train! Oh train!

Is thy engine acting like thy bane?

Oh train! Oh train!

Why dost thy departments have announcements, when you have not arrived?

Art thou looking for thy siblings who survive?

I need a place to pee,

Wilt thou not release me?

If thou dost not, thy department will be flooded,

And the coconuts thou hast been transporting

Will be carried away by the endless tides of shame.

Ah! train! Blessed you are

for the coconuts have come home.

A different one from the rest

This is for all those who thought me incapable of writing happy stuff :)

Looking beyond the clutter of trees,
i see a light,
shimmering like the sun through a prism
a prism of diamonds,
a melancholy tune,
one that haunts for ever,
a tune of joy,
a tune of ecstasy,
one that i hear everytime i close my eyes
one that keeps me at peace
at one with the larger whole.
One that lets me belong without demanding,
Finally a tune that spills the music of my soul
a tune of silence.

The silence that keeps the world smiling,
The silence that transcends all emotions
The silence that means everything
and yet means nothing.

It is the silence that makes me smile.
