Of Shapes and Bones
by Joshua C. Pipkins
“Are you the devil?” The man asks me. His eyes are no longer eyes, but milk. "No," I say, "but I am dead like you."
“So I have died,” he says, and there's a hint of melancholy in his otherwise deadpan voice. His body is stiff and unmoving, caught against a collection of rocks at the edge of the stream. I plant my knees in the grass next to him.
“You are my guide,” he says.
“I am. My name is Vergil,” I say.
He falls silent, the water sparkling like stars against his skin. After several moments, he answers. “I was a good father. I need you to know that.”
“I know,” I tell him, “I know everything about you, Daniel.”
“Then take me,” he says, “I want to see my husband.”
A gust of wind blows through the meadow. Trees bend and rustle. The flowers whisper solemnly in my ears. I take his hand into my own, flesh and bone intertwined, and snatch the Shape from his body.
I lead him into the Crossing, where the pit awaits at the heart of the sea, vast mounds of colors falling and rising like time-struck mountains beneath our feet. “It’s beautiful,” he says as we walk. “I’ve never seen anything like it before.”
Then I ask him, “If you’d seen everything in life, what would be the mystery in death?”
“I guess that’s true,” he laughs, though it sounds more like leaves being blown in the wind. “It’s just… I stopped believing in a Heaven so long ago. I figured that if one did actually exist, I wouldn’t ever see it.”
I say, “You loved who you loved.”
“Yes, I loved who I loved,” he says.
Then he asks, “Am I going to hell, Vergil?”
“Do you believe you’re going to hell, Daniel?”
“I don’t know,” he says, “I spent my entire life hearing that I would. I guess I’d be a little disappointed if I didn’t. All that time spent wondering when I ran away from home with Henry, worrying that I’d done something unforgivable.”
“There’s no such thing,” I tell him, “In the end, love is still love. I don’t think there’s anything more worthy of Heaven than a man who sacrifices for love.”
He can’t smile, but I feel as if he is, and as we near the pit at the heart of the Crossing, a deep sapphire light burning in its core, he lets go of my hand and drifts toward the edge.
“My daughter,” he says, “Does she… know about me?”
“She received a call this morning. She’s grieving, but she’ll be okay.”
“I became so… distant after Henry died,” he says, “I closed myself off from the world when she was still in college. I stopped accepting her calls. I wanted nothing to do with the world if he wasn’t there by my side. I just lied in bed and let the time take me. I was so selfish, Vergil.”
Then he says, “I was a good father. I need you to know that.”
“I know. I know everything about you, remember?”
He nods, then stares down into the light with apprehension. For an eternity he stands there, saying nothing, the world around him living and dying again and again.
He jumps.
“Are you God?” the little girl asks me. “No,” I tell her. “But I am dead like you.”

A cloud of possibility gathers
Of me loving you from a distance
And you being closer to me than a vein
Let me know your chaos
And douse me like the sweet rain.

Cold Feet
As a mumbled day roars into the night
You awe at turmoil within sight
You rally hope deciphering in blind
And snap dead over guilty grind
You howl oppression to a tyranny inclined
While a stone numbs you too in hind
You are a masquerade charade of a time
Also drowned in an unworthy slime -
All that gained in revolt to a tornado
A subtle breeze oozes in
A drop from the eye
Mind over matter into
An invisibility you shatter
As crippled regards for matters of mind
You fall a shadow to own reflection
And curse the mirror in drab fashion
Thus you summon
An adventure into the night
Within all the while
Chatters anger your fright.

Silent Night
Staring at the moon
Wondering how it was made
The soft light
The unbothering silence
Echoing winds
Chasing down the roughness of the day
Clearing the way for a new day
Looking forward to brighten people's day
I look at the silent houses
The ones with light outside but inner darkness
Waiting for another day
For people to bring their darkness out
I then feel a cold breeze
Of all unreached goals of the day
The lost hopes
And all the disappointments
The breeze is too strong
It reaches out to my bones
But then I look at the stars
And I get embraced by the dreams yet to be true
Slowly I turn my back and head back in
For the night speaks a lot to those who listen
To those who don't
It is a silent night

/anon And I stand here again
In this not-so-real rain
Feeling every bit of it,
Feeling every kind of pain.
I can see myself standing
Asking me to let go
Let go of the hurt
Let go of the strain.
As I look out of the window
The sun is starting to rise
Birds are singing again
And the moon is paying the price.

Beyond the shores of thought and reason,
The seas of emotion suddenly swell
Tempest clouds roar without season,
Growing the gloom with every decibel
I shrink with grief and crouch in despair,
Fighting tears with each rasping breath
What would you say if you were here,
If you could forsake the veil of death
How do I know if you are in a better place,
That there you no longer feel any pain,
That you watch over us from across the space,
That you have found your place in God's domain
Did the old familiar voices of wise ancestors
Welcome you back with warmth and love?
Beyond the bondage of all wordly matters
Have you found your freedom in heavens above?
Memories, they meet me in silence only to remind
Time, the eater of worlds now consumes my peace
Love, what you took along and what you left behind,
Now holds us together and comforts like a breeze
Life will go on with this burden to bear,
My heart will heal but will it be the same?
I harbor happy memories of all that we shared,
Your words in my thoughts and pictures in frames
All the legends and tales of the other side,
Oh, how I wish now for them to be true!
I pray and surmise what I once denied,
For someday again I will get to see you
In a place somewhere that is off the map
Where I can choose to be a child once more,
Feeling cheerful and safe, sitting on your lap
Innocent and happy, contented forevermore

Hold my hands and take me.
Take me back to our supernova, the distant galaxy, where you paint the sky in black and I heal your scars, under the light of a thousand stars.
Take me to a place where I no longer crave for your love; a love that unleashes the demons within. My life's a wall you have built in between two homes, one, where my heart breathes and other, where my heart bleeds.
Take me back to the start, where my intoxicated eyes speak of the dreams they had witnessed with you and you somehow, tend to fathom the words unspoken.
Hold my hands and take me!
Hold my hands and take me.

I mutilate myself, no matter what i do.
Acting all spirit, i maim when I'm disregarded, when I'm passed over.
Acting all foul isn't my cup of tea either, i maim again, i incapacitate either way.
Being ignoble and or moral, both roads are noxious to me. What do i fancy then?
You blemish me, your bygones. I can't condone it. I can't strand you either. You, your, it impedes me, candidly but won't gash you by disclaim, renounce.... Won't? Well, can't is more apt, can't bestow to soar your agony.... But about my torment? I have nowhere to go, no door left open, I'm stuck, stuck with you. I'll dwell, I'll persist, that's what I've been doing, that's what i can keep up with. No possibility, either at whim or reluctantly, i have to adhere, no recourse.... I'd be thrusting here, i don't know the stretch, the extent, maybe perpetuity.

Payback
Lost and trapped in a hole six feet deep, the king screamed for help as no one could hear him. Few minutes later, an anaconda struggling to make her way to the whole where the king was.
King Ahmatep Okole was the greatest king there is. His voice was like the roar of a lion. Lives will be taken at the snap of his fingers. So great he was, yet a dictator. His people were no longer in support of him for the all wanted to overthrow him for his ruthlessness was becoming too much.
He was so great, even demons trembled at his feet.
Marysel, a beautiful maiden came to serve his highness. For she was so beautiful that his majesty couldn't resist. His highness immediately after seeing her ordered for a grand ceremony to make her his wife.
The ceremony went well until later that night, marysel being an assassin and witch, made some incantations and with the speed of light, she together with the king disappeared and appeared in a six feet deep hole. Immediately she turned to an anaconda and later took away the king's life by cutting off his head. For darkness was upon the land. But in a period of 10 minutes, light touched every part of the kingdom. For the king is dead.
When this news got to the villagers, there was great celebration in the land for the king was no more.

we’ve reached the edge of the cutting party.
this is the edge where you hate me—
—and where I hate you
—and where we glare at each other across our own little capsules of time,
one half of each memory just out of the others sight,
one half of each heart just out of the others reach,
and I say,
in all my misguided sense of good intention,
that I love you in that special little way that darkness loves the moon,
only ever yearning for your presence,
when I just want to consume.

Relativity
A tangled web of space and time,
meticulously crafted by patient time.
We have fallen because of gravity,
yet gravity wasn't there;
it was simply the web of space and time.
Clocks run slower everything seems fair,
In deeper gravitational wells.
He became more confident as he thought,
"Everything appears to be correct," she thought,
but it was all an illusion,
Is an object's gravity nothing more than a curvature?
We began to stray,
as the cosmos expand.

This story is very strange, it may not be for anyone else, but it is for me.... I have never been special in my life.But I can never forget that day of my simple, straight and boring life.
That day of 11th August has been written in golden letters in the book of my greasy life.
I was waiting for my train, although the train arrives on time but that day the train was 7 minutes late. But in India 7 minutes means nothing.. Well as soon as the train came, it took everyone to catch all the seats. I was one of them too.
As soon as I got a seat, that too with a window which was my choice.
I sat outside the window looking at the people, someone's purse was stolen and someone's cat was lost.
"Strange people..."
I thought and kept watching but then my eyes saw a girl
Seeing which "MashaAllah" came out of the mouth...
That girl was standing wearing a burqa with a bag in one hand and a photo in the other…..she had many questions in her eyes…. was looking for something and maybe she was pregnant too....sometimes some stranger in life People are very happy to meet, it seems as if we have some old relation with them.....
Well after 10 minutes the train started.
I was still looking at that girl, she stood on the same wake…. I could not stay, so I asked with a loud voice,
"You don't have anywhere to go? the train will leave."
He looked at me and said no with humbleness.
The train had left......
On the second morning I got up, brushed, made tea and sat down on the sofa after picking up the newspaper, one gulp of tea must have gone and hardly, that too came out, I was shocked because it was written in it.. ...
"" A woman wearing a burqa committed suicide by jumping in front of the train.
And this wasn't any other woman but she was the one I had seen yesterday, there was a photo beside her dead body and the same bag.
How strange, the one I saw yesterday was not in the world yet....
Maybe she had already come thinking,
That this train will take him to her real destination......

Silent Night
Staring at the moon
Wondering how it was made
The soft light
The unbothering silence
Echoing winds
Chasing down the roughness of the day
Clearing the way for a new day
Looking forward to brighten people's day
I look at the silent houses
The ones with light outside but inner darkness
Waiting for another day
For people to bring their darkness out
I then feel a cold breeze
Of all unreached goals of the day
The lost hopes
And all the disappointments
The breeze is too strong
It reaches out to my bones
But then I look at the stars
And I get embraced by the dreams yet to be true
Slowly I turn my back and head back in
For the night speaks a lot to those who listen
To those who don't
It is a silent night

Quiet, cloudy and rainy night
There are those who see joy on this day, who see them sad
Who says it is the most beautiful days, or who says a dreary day and disappointment and one of the worst days?
This is how life does not always give you joy or sadness
One day you will be happy and one day you will be sad
Who is now asleep in slumber and deep sleep, and who is unable to sleep fights himself psychologically and physically
This is a beautiful, sad, and self-defeating life
But we always have hope in this life

I have spent my life...
In wait for my beloved
in wait for that one special glance
A glance full of love
What all didn't i do for that one special glance...
A glance that didn't even know I existed.
But that glance...
That one glance...
Couldn't become a part of my destiny.
Life has shown me a lot of censure,
It's given me many wounds
Now, I am very scarred from inside
I have spent my life for searching that one glance of pure love
Perhaps I was never destined for it
Now i have stopped this fruitless search for it around Me
Just to have one special glance my way just once.

A glance that didn't even know I existed.
But that glance...
That one glance...
Couldn't become a part of my destiny.
Life has shown me a lot of censure,
It's given me many wounds
Now, I am very scarred from inside
I have spent my life for searching that one glance of pure love
Perhaps I was never destined for it
Now i have stopped this fruitless search for it around Me
Just to have one special glance my way just once.

Calling Out
I have searched and searched
And I will keep on searching
But I sometimes feel stressed
Cause I feel like you don’t hear me
I wish to hear you saying
That I shouldn’t give up
The love I get from others
Makes me feel like a flower
That is so pretty and wonderful
But I know I will one day dry up
But I don’t want to lose you
So I'm calling on your name
I wish to hear you saying
That I shouldn’t give up
Things are so temporary
People come and go
Nothing lasts forever
Life feels so cold
Whom should I hold on to
Whom should I call
So I'm calling on your name
I wish to hear you saying
That i shouldn’t give up
I sometimes feel you
I sometimes don’t
I wish to be with you all the time
That’s why am calling
I wish to hear you saying
That I shouldn’t give up
For the times I felt you
I'll always hold on to that
The ecstatic feeling
The climax of being lost in happiness
But that won't make me stop
From calling your name
I wish to hear you say
That I shouldn’t give up

There was a boy of 10 years old who was bullied by everyone. Whenever someone hits him he never gave reply in return. He was very shy , he hardly even talk with anyone but we were good friends, he always shares things with me..
But then something shocking happened in his life.....
So one day he told me that he hears voices and he also met with an unknown girl in his dreams. I didn't say anything except OK. I was smiling.
Because i know what it was. Actually i was 5 years older than him and already know that what happens in teenage but for him it was just starting..
So i asked him "who is she".
He said "i don't know, i didn't see her face.
I was like seriously "u see her in your dreams and u didn't see her face. Wow...
So what do u see in that girl in your dreams"
He said, there is a girl who comes and just grabbed my hand and when she grabbed then i don't know somehow i understand what she want to say but in real she doesn't have even a face, actually she is like mixture of smoke and air....
Then i thought that he is very confused
Because he was very shy in real life and doesn't even talked with a girl for 5 minutes so maybe he is seeing like this...
2 days later when i met him he was very happy, there was smile on his face, his eyes are shining and it was the first time when he was looking very happy . He came to me and said " Finally i understand what she want to say to me,
I asked what?
He said " She is free from this trap, but we aren't, we are imprisoned here and she is helping me to get out of this whole trap" I was taking gulp of water at that time and all the water came out after hearing these little speech " and i was like "WTF" but still i say only four words, " You will be fine".....
Now the shocking thing was that it was the last time when i see him because next day he committed suicide.
After postmortem it is confirmed that it was suicide and reports tells that he was suffering from depression since one month because he was bullied by everyone at school , he was very sensitive ,he couldn't bear these things,so he decided to end his own life . But we were friends he could tell me but he didn't...
The voices that he was listening often hears by many depressed people....

LIFE
In the cold breeze of life
Happiness touched me
When i was running wild,
Not at the top or at the bottom of a lake
Or a secrete place
But, when i was running wild
In the world,
I went looking for peace
Looking into people’s eyes
To calm the storm building inside
Thinking
Someone might,
help me guide through these raging nights
Losing myself, as i grow
The Price i paid, To show,
Whats i can, What i became
Acting to people’s expectations
Bleeding
Little by little
In winds over empty skies
To Realise peace is in
Golden skies,
Sun rays passing trough our eyes
Breeze with scent of meadows beyond the city of lies
Sound of water making its way through
top to deepest point
I accepted life, as a storm
Peace and chaos
Moving through sea of people
Carrying rainbow and destruction along
Waiting for the end, which is far beyond.
