The Lady In Black

Sky studded with stars,
crescent moon’s ethereal glow,
the insects’ buzzing music,
Oh yes! A beautiful night,

No wonder,couples thronged,
the streets,to bask in,
the gorgeousness of the night,
accentuating it,was the cool wind,
an accessory to the couples’,
romantic escapade,

The night’s beauty hadn’t spared,
the lady in black too,her peers,
dearly knew her as “ice queen”,
The magical night ,had a profound,
effect on her,threatening,
to break her facade

Her face ,devoid of expressions,
now exuded deep sorrow,
in her cold eyes,now resided,
a non curable pain,

As she strode gracefully,buried memories,
conquered her mind,a tear,
rolled down her cheek,
for the first time ,in a long time,
solitude made her soul ache,

Her black dress flapped about her,
as the cool breeze stung,
worsening her state,
she longed to be held,in the arms,
which had once been her home,
now home to someone else,

As she reached the alcove,
the secret ,private place ,
shared by her and her love,
memories overwhelmed her,

The entrance of a couple,
broke her reverie,her eyes closed,
her eyes flew open,when she ,
heard their mirthful laughter,its
familiarity startled her,

A smile adorned her face,as her eyes,
found the couple, it was her love,
She was happy yet sad ,to see him ,
enjoying the night ,with his ,
new found love,

Tears flowing freely,she left the alcove,
to her resting place,as she lay down,
her love’s smiling face ,the last image,
filled her soul with peace,before,
the darkness engulfed her.

A Lover’s Confession

Don’t ask me when,

Don’t ask why,

Don’t ask me where,

Don’t ask me how,

Cause I don’t have answers,

for your questions.

All I know, is that, my heart,

has tuned its rhythm to yours.

All  I know ,is that , my mind,

is on an overdrive, thinking

about you.

All I know,is that,a blush,

creeps up on my face,

when i hear your name.

All I know,is that,my hands,

want to be held in yours,

while I walk.

All I know,is that,I yearn

To be embraced in your arms,

All I know,is that,my lips,

Are fervently hoping to

Confess to you.

All I know,is that,

I am going crazy over your smile,

All I know,is that,

I have fallen for you.

All I know ,is that ,

Am madly in love with you.

Hide and Seek

In the rustle of the fallen leaves,

I sense your footsteps,

Along with the nocturnals’ buzz,

I hear your whispers,

The shadows on the street walls,

I hope its yours,

Around me i sense all the staring eyes,

I feel one of them is yours,

As i am surrounded by cool breeze,

I feel my nails against your fingertips,

wrapping my fingers around yours,

I realize your absence,

Its just an illusion

Desperate to seek you out,

I reach out to you,but

I can sense you slipping through,

So close,yet so far,

Oh dear,yes,i love your playfulness,

But not this game dear,it spikes,

my heart’s distress

Please come back,my love,

my heart is craving, to hold your hands,

to hear your voice,to be checked out

by your love filled eyes,

Say it sweetheart,

Say it once more,

That I am yours,only yours.

Kindness – Sharing is caring !! :-) :-)

To write about an act of kindness that inspired me should be actually easy ! Or that’s what i thought , until i sat down to actually start writing on it .But nope, my mind drew up a blank as the clock went on with its tick-tock. It has been more than an hour since i opened the blank word document. And it was still blank. “Come on, it shouldn’t be so difficult to remember a profound act of that cadre”. It is not like i had never witnessed or experience kindness. But still i had no clue as to why my mind was clogged up and wouldn’t let me remember. I felt that if i tried too hard  to remember and then wrote about it , it would definitely resemble a superficial one. So i gave up  and went to bed.

And just as i was about to drift off into my Neverland, my brain didn’t fail me. It came up with the imagery. Yup I finally got one. It wasn’t what i expected but it led me to think more deeply about kindness.

So what was the imagery? I am sure you would like to know . It  was of my  1.5 year old niece sharing her favorite snacks “Lays” with us. She always takes a bite , then takes turns to give  us a bite from the same chip . The first time she did it, i was surprised. For we had not asked her for the chips  or told her anything about sharing.  Then there was this incident, we were out  and we happened to pass by a cute black puppy . She stopped us and showed us the dog and said bikky , which means biscuit in her language :P. What she was trying to say is , that she wanted to feed biscuits to the puppy.  Awwwww !! Yup that was my reaction.

This led to another memory of my own. New city ,New school, first day  and already late. So i get to sit in last bench. I couldn’t understand what was being said or taught and i was feeling down  and almost on the verge of tears,  when i hear a sound “psst”. I turn around to check where exactly is the origin of sound and there it was again .  The girl sitting on the bench beside me, smiled at me and waved . She took a chocolate from her box and asked me whether i wanted to have it . I said no, but she broke it into half and leaned over and kept it on my hand . I smiled in return as we both secretly munched on the chocolate.  Nevertheless to say , I felt better. That was my first stint with friendship and kindness.

Kindness :  The act of being friendly,generous or considerate.  Kindness can be inculcated from childhood. Yes, but as people age such kindness require a constant and conscious effort from the individual to be implemented .  Sometimes when  people are caught up in their life , they stop making the effort. But blessed are the people who are kind by their inherent nature. And blessed are we to be present in their midst. For they don’t require any effort to be kind. Just like a kid sharing his/her things with a sibling or friend.  And I wish  that the universe should always be blessed with  the presence of such people.

Lost and Found

   She walked across and sat on the ledge, her legs dangling. Cool breeze wafted around her,unsuccessful in its attempt to deter her resolve.She knew that it was a crazy idea.But she had always been reckless.It was the final act aimed at deliverance of  the soul  from the darkness surrounding it. Just a flicker of light would be sufficient to vanquish the darkness.Her wait in the hope of discovering it had been unrewarding

        

       She was a brave soul,for she always swam against the tide. She held pride in the fact that she was never attached to anything or anyone.Nothing would faze her. And then the catastrophe struck.She fell in love with the guy.He wasn’t perfect, but she felt he was the one.She couldn’t stop herself from falling for him,even when she knew that her love will never be reciprocated.

 

         It was a blessing as well as a curse. She lost herself in thoughts, daydreaming about things that would never happen.It was pleasant at first, but then the pain crept in .Then came the darkness,changing her completely.She didn’t acknowledge it, until the day she realized that she couldn’t identify the person looking at her when she stood in front of the mirror.

She resolved to let go of everything and be as she was before it happened. But it was easier said than done; for she realized that her thoughts were a tyrant and tried their best to enslave her once again.But she fought hard against her own mind and soul for their control.The battle was fierce and prolonged, but her perseverance paid off as the thoughts started to lose their foothold in her mind..

 

              And now,as she was sitting on the ledge, she contemplated on the experience that was awaiting her.

She had decided  her course of action to vanquish the remnant darkness by choosing to do the one  last thing in her bucket list .She took a deep breath and let out a joyful whoop as she leaped off the edge. She could hear her friends cheering her as they waited for their turn to bungee jump.She had found herself again.

 

Dark Shadows

Dark Shadows

 

 Urging her feet,she scuttled across,

her heart filled with trepidation,

abnegated her,from looking back,

in fear of being captured

 

She scampered through the tunnel,

hoping to reach the ray of light,

that shone at its end,before

she succumbed to the wily beings

 

She could sense them,lurking

along the sides,biding their time

for the perfect juncture, to

snatch her,

 

Trying to escape from their clutches,

her only hope, to reach the faint light,

which got brighter as she raced,

through time ,And she did reach

 

Her heart let out a whoop of joy,

just as she entered the safe haven,

but to her horror,she felt her

being pulled by the predators

 

She reached out her heart in vain,

towards the light,the pull’s duress,

overwhelming her,her eyes closed,

as the Dark Shadows devoured her.

 

Happy Ever After

Happy Ever After

 

 Happy Ever After, a fantasy,

Hoped to be made a reality,

 in this universe by many ,

but it would be very daffy

 

 Life, a ride in roller coaster,

A moment, it will show heaven,

And at the snap of a finger,

it will take us to hell’s cavern

 

 Just like the flavor of tanginess,

enabling to enjoy the sweetness,

 To truly relish happiness,

We stand in need for sadness

 

 There can be happy sad,

 sad happy,but sad sad

 doesn’t work,neither does,

happy happy,

 

 Happy ever after,never in reality,

presumably being the mortals’ fancy,

wishing their characters in story,

to live ever after happily.

Is God, biggest tyrant?/Sick n tired of atheist moron

Disclaimer: I am not a prolific writer and neither am I a profound thinker; To write on a topic that requires reasoning ability and all that jazz, is tough job for me. So the below write-up might be confusing and nonsensical. So I happily welcome all the hate mail and rotten tomatoes and what not to my inbox. Definitely no intention to offend anyone. This is just a post by a confused soul. So apologies in advance if it hurts anyone inadvertently.

Is god the world’s biggest tyrant? No, I don’t think so. Am I sick n tired of atheist morons? Nope, definitely not. But, hell yeah, am pretty much tired of this conflict that is going on for ages.

It s all about beliefs isn’t it?  Not all people are same. Human beings are unique in their own way and differ from each other. When people are different, it’s only natural that their beliefs too will be different. And there is nothing wrong about it. So why do we have to argue about it. Won’t it be fair to all, if we agree to disagree? We can’t do that, can we? Cause it’s not in basic human nature. We always want to be the one who’s right and we love to prove others wrong. Its not in the human nature to not investigate about a mystery. We have this insatiable urge to define unexplainable things; otherwise we would all die of curiosity *yeah ,right*

(My take)

So human beings would have wondered about their origin and they came to believe in a divine power and coined the term god. Probably they were grateful and wanted to offer thanks. But how can u say it to someone who is unseen. So they used their imagination * oh boy, aren’t we good at that* and result gods in various forms. And they probably started worshiping asking for continued blessings.

Days passed and peoples’ progenies would have come onto this earth and when the elder generation tried to instill the beliefs in them, some of the younglings would have raised the questions “Why? How” and what not. *observed from each generation, the next one never accepts what the elders say without asking questions*. The elders would have a hard time to convince the young ones and so to aid them, they would have created the myths and legends *well, it’s very easy, you know?? All you need is an vivid imagination Yeah, yeah I can hear you telling that they are not myths but real facts. Well, you may be right .I don’t have a time turner with me, to exactly know what happened*. They would have probably succeeded to an extent, but there might be some younglings who were skeptical about it.

What would have happened if a calamity had befallen the human beings? What would have been their reaction?? There is a possibility for two reactions as far as my brain *a below average one* could think. They would have lost faith in their beliefs or the most common nature of human being would have kicked in. They would have assumed that the Gods were angry and the head person might have come up with some ritual which would be a solution to the problem in the first place or a sick ritual just for their pleasure.*Assumption is the root cause for all troubles, I say*.

Well, what if the people lost faith? They would have started preaching to others and the doubts lingering in the younglings skeptical of the beliefs would have started to haunt them and so the search for the so called TRUTH, very well aided by their brain. For they knew, they can’t just bluff. If they wanted others to believe them, they needed some proof. And so they set on their journey and worked towards it

In the meantime, different clans would have come across each other and found their beliefs to be different. So the concept of religion would have blossomed. They might have compared the result of the other clans’ rituals, gods with their own. Initially they would have adopted some changes into their religions, but later fought on the supremacy of their religions.*of course ego would have kicked in, if the other clan’s gods were more beautiful, there by inferring that their imagination is far better.*

Amidst these things, some human beings might have been born with gifts. And their actions would have been so sincere and passionate, that people felt that it was a divine experience to be with them and followed them and considered them to be blessed. It isn’t those gifted people’s fault *Well, I am not talking about the ones faking it!!* They would have just wanted to help. Well, at least I think it was that way. Or they would have loved all the attention that they were getting. God Who knows *Oops Strike that :-P*

So what happened to the people or people who lost belief and set out to find proof?  Well, on the way to find the proof of the truth, they did discover many wonderful things that provided some credibility to their arguments. But they wanted the people with beliefs to come out of the ignorance and blamed religion and God for all the problems in this world. *Well, I am confused*. They don’t believe in God, right?  Then how can they blame something or someone they don’t believe in. They should be blaming human being. They are the root cause for all the chaos and they choose ignorance. Let them be. Why do the non-believers try so hardly to make the believers see sense ?  Out of care ?? *yeah, right* Nope ,they wanted to prove them wrong.*Well , yeah, there are people who really do care(both theists and atheists). And I respect them*

Like the conflict between different religions, there arose a conflict between the believers and the non-believers. Reason, you ask? The believers wanted the non-believers to accept their version of truth and vice versa.*Duh the name sounds dumb* There can’t be someone who is a non-believer. Cause that person strongly believes that there is no such thing as God. So he/she does believe in something. So how can u call that person as a non-believer??

  They argued, fought for a stand ,forcing their opinions on each other, trying their level best to convince each other. And they still do. It is kind of irritating sometimes. I can hear it. People have right to express opinions. I agree. They are entitled to give voice to their opinions , but not stuff it on others. It would be just wonderful, if people agree to that.

So I hear you asking, what am i? Do I believe in God or Not? Well, I do believe in something which is along the line My life’s destination is set by the kind of thoughts running in my mind.

.

P.S: I know ,people might find  there  is no reasonable logic Please feel free to drop a mail if u wanna tell that  I should stop writing such a dump.

We all need that one friend ..

 Sometimes, words are not enough to portray or convey the feelings or thoughts.And if we are not able to find a way to convey them, then there is no use in worrying about it.

It isn’t fair to assume the reason behind one’s actions or words. The problem is that,we just can’t seem to muster our courage and talk about it.

Mostly because of the fear of being judged and laughed at. We  would rather  bury it within our minds and act as if life is peachy.But there is always a consequence.

As days pass, the burden will increase and reach a point where it will affect the very core of our life.All you need is one friend to share them.
He/She might even be a total stranger or a close friend.Only if we share our thoughts, we will know how it will be received.
It is silly to assume the reactions of other people and  worrying.But at the same time ,even if that friend reacts differently than expected, be ready to accept their views. Open up,share your thoughts and you will realize the burden to have vanished.Hope you find your friend. I have.. 

Dedicated to that friend of mine.

The Untold

The Untold

 

My heart fell to its knees,

in front of the compatriot,

the mind’s irrefutable

discernment

 

For the first time, since

eternity, my cognizance

won the battle of words,

douching passion’s flame

with its reasons

 

Some things are better,

when left unsaid,none

afflicted,except the one,

who knows it

 

Said or Unsaid, doesn’t matter,

remorse is all that is left,

Contrite, pondering over,

whether or not ,

what done was right
