I took a visit to the Indira Gandhi Hospital in Kabul,
the central children’s and maternal mother hospital.
It was rather quiet in the hospital, the light shining through windows only.

We fly to these dusty plains
with dreams and hopes
of making a better tommorrow

Let smiles take us
Gratitude engulf us
Take to our hearts
Realise everything is possible

Even in death…

And he knew
Never from the depths of the horizons
would the prophetic wanderer emerge
the traveler
whose finger pointed at infinity
at the incandescent goal
the transparent way
the inacc…

give me your hand,
my loved one,
and we will hide in the meadow
to love or fall down beneath the knife

I jump into the river,
but the current does not carry me
my husband is fortunate…

I headed out to Tora Bora
to film where Osama Bin Laden’s last stand was
an epic journey through the mountains of Nangahar province
with the blessing of the Governor
and 9 of his best men a…

i watch the kites fly in the skies.
how beautifully they soar
such great heights
how the children laugh
dreaming it could be them

Memories…
Memoirs….
Moments…
Calling me back again and again…
I wish If I can get the days of my innocence back
those careless times
those carefree moments
But I feel that it is …

you are
the one who
keeps me calm
and makes me
think twice
about life
and the world
and food
and books
and art
and people
and sex
and myself
my efforts
to soak it all up
are constant

floating through clouds
lands beyond my own dreams
i find sanctuary
in things i don’t know about

the speaking in forked tongues
eyes gazing upon me
but stay humble

harsh is the sun …

i watched myself die in my dream
saw myself looking back at the things i done
have no regrets
all things have a purpose
sometimes it is destiny
for it to be this way

the ants scuttle pa…

if you don’t know what it is
let it take hold
engulf you
and release you

The word is dead and has to be written
it’s penning itself clear
of perjory.

Doesn’t matter if the page is grey or empty
or if the letter’s looking for a lie or an address
whatever.

what is this love that i do know?
will the stars engulf me tonight?
the sun rises
and falls
the moon floats around us
the bright light entice us.

laughter fills my ears
smiles appear d…

desire burns
in the hearts of men
longing for more
how much can one take
without giving back?

You’re just like a drug to me baby
inject in my arms and set me free lady
this ectasy is what’s called love, no maybes
there is no comedowns, where i’m going baby
you’re just like a drug to…

He gives them an assignment,
and immediately they get lost;
his tiredness increases while
he sees their eyes glaze over.
There’s probably a law
that governs things like that.

ships float from the safe waters
into the unknown
the wind blows their sails
into different directions

the moon hovers along the horizon
its light
a beacon for all those who wish to fol…

Some people look for short happiness,
some look for longer
best to look for eternal happiness
not even death
can cease the radiating beauty of pure love

my love
my love
the distance my heart travels
to want to be near to you
it skips
my heart
when i recollect the days
we did share

will i ever see another day
of ever seeing your face?

the bright lights call
a world to discover
places of laughter
where memories can be forgotten
let go
just for tonight
and be free
feel alive
