open sesame....
because i care for you,
i must learn to love the intricacies of
paranoia,
time must cure
what friendships lack
Open Sesame!
let the caves open their doors
and now
display the jewelries, and
shining glories within.
the mind eats up
what we store
let all these be consumed
so we can be light as sparrows
and learn again
how to fly

opening a new window
come to my room
let us open a new window
that opens to another window
look at my face
and hold the side of my body
i will caress your hair with my hands
hold your body softly as a wind holds a feather
my fingers shall travel from the tips of your hair
down to the last tips of the toes of your feet
let us be happy, let us try opening another window
let us see the other windows hidden from our eyes.

Opening Just Like Everybody Else
it is always easy to
open
all you have to do is
spread
sometimes you get so
thin
and people do not notice
even if
it is you at
all
it is always safe to open
together when they open
like umbrella during a sudden rain
this way
no one minds you
no one notices what you are
this way
you are safe and comforted
everyone is like you in the open
no one is unique
and no one hurts you again

opening up
like a bud i try to open up
one summer's day
eager for the rays of the sun
and the coolness of the wind
but then
something goes wrong in my sepals
the twig twists itself
and the bud wilts
something goes wrong
how can i ever tell you about the reason for the wilting?
