WRITINGS ON AN ABANDONED WALL-"Hide and Seek"




It is something
that i should never tell you,
even my last breath
hangs from the blade of life.

I knew it
during our morning walks
on a road
carpetted with nebulas of bird shit.


In and out
a bamboo stem
we dip and float
with butterflystrokes
splitting time and making tones
never ending
our hide and seek.

Really nice piece. Your writings reflect that you observe and feel, and that you're a philosophical person...probably you live in a surreal world or you like surrealism..

Interesting way of expressing and writing.

Keep writing :)
Thanx a lot for commenting on my blog! :D

Its this unnerving feeling of you seeing every little thing so well, that it seems unreal...

nebulae of bird droppings?? What a piece of imagery! Perfect!
