The Life Beyond!!!


I sat
by the river
lost in reverie
of me
and my perished memories
Just trying
if i could revive
Those memories
when i was just five
There by the river
thoughts ran amok
I felt like a castle
perched on a rock
hIGH! So high
i felt up there
Where nothin could reach me
just the air
Slowly and gradually
this feeling arose.
Of a sudden calm
amidst the chaos
My frenzied mind
was suddenly calm
And peace held me
in its arms
The world down there
seemed cold and frigid
Where by the river
i lay buried
Now i exist
just like the river
From tide to an ebb
Smooth to shiver
Now i live
a life like that
A life
that mortals call Death!!!

(an ode to Death)

Towards more picturesque speech... My tribute to The Reader's Digest!!

Things i love............. -- Poetry...as much as prose! Reading, writing and pondering upon things... To the sea- Once while watching the waves continuously pulled up and pulled back it looked as though someone was trying to make a bed and couldn't get it right spreading the sheet properly!!!!!! :P \m/ Not to forget, i felt closest to "YOU'' too!!! But i love the MOUNTAINS more!!!!!!! -- A good pun is its own re-word!!! \m/ But why is it that we DO have to pay for a short-cut in the long run?!?! We've known for sure that a small chip on the shoulder can indeed get to be heavy load!!!! But times are a-changing and today's modern boy would rather follow his father's tyre tracks, than his footsteps!!! And have u ever wondered, did Elizabeth tailor her own clothes?!?!? -- Metaphors- I love painting word pictures. And literally, "metaphorically speaking.." happens to be my favorite phrase!! :P Think about this- A tiny acrobat of hope somersaulted in h

And so i blogged....

Whoa! So here i am... So, I heard everyone s got a blog these days!!! I heard its 'IN'!! Like...some kinda frenzy in which everyone s getting caught...and seems I ain't spared either!!!!! Its been a while a few of my friends who've known me closely, have been telling me I should start writing again. But I haven't really found that spark in a while. I'm still not sure whether I will find what I'm looking for again. But I sure do hope to find it. I'm not quite sure of what I'll write in my blog...ever since I lost those diaries{I swear i still miss em :-(} while packing and shifting back from Delhi.. it had stopped! I miss the writer in me sometimes but more so I miss the collection of those 50 odd poems and essays I had written. Those days it just came randomly flowing through my pen... one of the real pleasures of life, that I lost down the line. I hope to find it again... and so i blogged!!!!!!!!! :D \m/
