UNTITLED


Walking down the lane and talking to thee
You don’t realize what it’s going to be
Are you living by chance or choice?
Trail your spirit and answer the voice
Are you wondering, where to start?
Oh! Portray yourself in a house of mirage
Bringing to life the only flower
Let it ripe and gain some power
Like an elegant lady in the bar
Embellish it with all the stars
The reflection will please you in the start
But the truth still lies so far
Touch the water and feel the air
Think of what has led u here
Give it the time to develop and show
It’s the entire chimera growing on the floor
Treat it as an opportunity or a preference
Stay here or go back to realism
Where everything is an illusion!

after a long time you have written a poem.... and a good one too of course!!
this one has all the rhyming words....

The poem talks of many things...
but nothing is parallel to each other....
they all intermingle in their own way...

u beautifully portrayed how to search for once self... then u ask em to go deeper into the imagination ask em to "touch the water feel the air" and then u leave him to his own imagination to grow "It’s the entire chimera growing on the floor" i simply loved this line of yours....

then in the end the source of power to the whole poem....

"Stay here or go back to realism
WHERE EVERYTHING IS AN ILLUSION!"
ie In the end you very deliberately tell the reader that the reality is actually, just another ILLUSION…..

Hehe…. Simply fantastic….

Beautiful poem. Your poem or something in it reminds me an old piece of writing. Dr. harold pinter said this in his Nobel lecture 2 years ago. "When we look into a mirror we think the image that confronts us is accurate. But move a millimetre and the image changes. We are actually looking at a never-ending range of reflections. But sometimes a writer has to smash the mirror - for it is on the other side of that mirror that the truth stares at us." So it’s not all about ellusion. Something is more than that sometimes like death as Dr. pinter said.

Keep the good work going.
I liked it.

Weird Adventurous trip

I was in a bus with a ticket but the irony of having a ticket and the journey is somewhat weird and crazy. Let me make some sense out of what I am trying to tell u. Hope u understand!! When I started the journey, even though I had a place to sit in the bus.. n even though I was sitting but I was actually not sitting where I should have been sitting.. Let c if I can make u understand.. There is leg space between two seats in the bus..right.. Now someone kept his suitcase blocking the leg space and a lady was sitting next to my allotted seat. I came and put my bag on that suitcase and went to get water. When I came back (for which I had to climb through the drivers place as there was no place to even stand anywhere in the bus.. it was so over crowded). Somehow when I managed to reach the allotted seat of mine, some guy was sitting on that place. He claimed that seat to be his and I fought with him just to find that lady was occupying my place actually. But because there wasn't any ...

Life's Zugzwang

As she woke up to answer the phone on her bed Just wanted to hear your voice, he said Holding her breath as she spoke Hello to the person over the phone Thinking about the dream she had Two people under that lovely shed Loosing her thoughts she heard him say Reminding her of the place they once stayed And then he asked her how you are today Never before she felt her heart sway To the tune of words she was hearing Stuck in her thoughts with the man who was speaking And lost was she in her own world dreaming Alongside this only person she kept wishing Her dream world to turn into reality And walk with pride in that beautiful city City which is called as love Having a straight road without any curve Still talking with him she realized She was on the phone, she sighed Wishing for the right time she cried And kept down the phone on her side!

Valentines day and RAM SENA

This is India, and I wonder how many of you are liking this "INDIA"... They say it is a place where every other soul can find a peaceful place to breathe at least one free air but here what I see right now, picking up the red carpet is the cries of the hearts who love each other but are humiliated because they LOVE each other. Celebrating Valentines day is not acceptable to our community, I wonder how come they celebrate New years according to English's Calender. WHERE are the people of acclaimed RAM SENA lost when the whole wide world is celebrating New years eve, kissing the one they love the most. This wasn't a culture of India then how is this acceptable? The News on the pages of The Hindu tells us the new drama which is going to be dramatized on the streets of karnataka, they will not only protest and will carry mangal sutra and other things and get the kids married on valentines day. WHY? just because they both are knowing each other until they decide if they wa...
