Restless minds

-
Disgust, despair and a lot of dejection,
What is left but two inches of ivory,
Sweet solace, in words and in deeds,
Simple and elegant, yet potent within.

Despicable, disdain and dreary may the life be,
Living days in shadows of deaths around,
The sweetness always marks to excite,
Excite and invigorate for life to be loved,

One more round, oh, one more round,
The bout is not over, until the spirit runs below the ground

    I loved the blend of melancholy and hope in your verse. The latent meanings are so powerful that for a moment I could delve into your mind just with the help of these words. Cryptic initially, but it has something to say!
    And one more thing - Good, you updated this in your blog! :D

                                         Just coming along…. To begin with, the other day seems to be happening just again and again. Well not exactly in the BMTC buses nowadays, but rather everywhere. I admit, rather sheepishly, I too have been bitten by the mobile bug (read talking on the road). To start off, we just have to rest the argument of the other day for a while and just move to what has recently happened. Not just with me, or my friends or any other individual known to me. It is simply put the seasonal change for all of them. Not just them but the scores and scores of residents across the sub-continent. Yes, it is the Season that I am talking about. Seasons of multiple color’s which are as varied as the amendments to our constitution? But the summer heat is not the only thing that comes to be seen when venturing into the potboiler environ of the city. The city is after all quite literally boiling. What with temperatures

Curled up in a corner One after the other does the lightning hit across the face Many faces and hearts are strained and stretched in ways incomprehensible to scotoma Entrails get strewn all around with all the heart left charred... Lonely and bereft, pain is a constant reminder of a sum, Innate calculations and inherent qualities all are but thrown across the curb, O.. Very many are the facets of life than sums and divides of an emoting wanderer, Every life has its moments, most in the shadow, yet not all find joy in the light above Life.. A journey taken in the moments of each facets Intuition they say, inhibitions take their places and rule  that are filled with I For many are the social mores to follow and lived around for.. Every one changes with time akin to withered leaves, leaving one in spots same as before

Failing words

Words, thank you for failing me Neither could I write on it nor reflect Worlds are built and worlds are lost On people, yet disappear they do in a moment Words, thank you for failing me Words are better at failing than worlds all over Time and time again do you fail In need and in deed do you forgo Words, thank you for failing me For when it is meant to be told Is meant not be said, and not be remembered Words, are just as good as nothing! Hearts are broken, not to be mended or to chill Hearts are as hearts are.. being.. breathing! Time to breathe, to be while words be quiet The broken hearts just breathe and move on For losing people is not the pain.  Words spent in deeds    are not the poisons The memory of pain is only realised, when Words in silence can fail just as when spoken Words, thank you for failing me!
