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)

The Monsoon Ballad - 3 : Floral Romance!!

And the young and handsome Flower In full bloom Stood proud and tall in his glory "majestified"! Sweet summoning scent Of his perfume sets the heart a-throbbing Pulsating and b eating Leaves the senses mesmerized!! You see his proud stance and arrogant charm But seldom its known  that secretly he stalks the Sun! While he knows not That the bees and the drones Are soon gonna arrive Uninvited!!

Confessions of a Turbulent Mind!

Sometimes I wonder why Solitude has become such a crowded place!! Make 'em stop; these cacophonies of screaming silences; they're deafening!!!! Who built this barricade in the middle of our bed?! Why do our conversations resemble a talk show on mute?! Can you tell?! Jet-speeding through the highways in my mind, I'm afraid, the light at the end of the tunnel might be a halogen bulb put there to illuminate the sign board that reads - "DEAD END"!!! :-|

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...
