Reminiscence

I enjoyed those walks in the rain,
Holding hands together -
Love birds flying down winding lanes
In the day's third quarter.

I enjoyed talking endlessly at nights,
Regardless of what the time might be;
Making up after silly little fights
'Cause our love had a strong unity.

I enjoyed wiping the tears off your face
And holding you closely in my arms,
Changed the moment to another time and place -
Till your saddened heart was calmed.

I enjoyed those sweet exchange of words,
From long distances, through our eyes,
Feelings flowing through air, undetered -
Like the night sky's filled with fireflies.

I enjoyed staring at you for hours
Marvel at your angelic beauty;
You were by far the most beautiful flower
In all the gardens of the city.

I enjoyed kissing you gently on the lips,
And breathing in your sweet smell,
Having my hands around your hips -
Dancing merrily in a live "fairy tale".

I often cherish our happy memories
That have stood the test of time,
Though we're now separated by seven seas
I still enjoy calling you mine.

Why Do I Care?

Why do I still care about you when you don’t love me?
The eyes bleed, the heart aches everyday,
Your memories flash back with vengeance, and
leave me helpless on the ground, writhing in pain.

Why do you still come and haunt me?
In my dreams, so loud and vibrant –
as if it was real and I want to get your touch,
Yet a huge barrier separates our two worlds.

Why does your voice still ring in my ears?
A thousand sounds can’t drive it away,
I shut my ears trying to impede, it only gets louder -
and my soul burns for that was the sweetest tone….

Why am I still alive even if you are not here?
To stand as a pillar as a testimony to our failed love, maybe –
a living example of a body already lifeless
But the night seems long and the walk seems hard….
Why do I still care about you when you don’t love me?

Consequences

"I don't love you anymore" she said
And stormed out the door,
The loud crash of the wood reverberated around
the dimly lit room, Shattering the silence,
contesting the rhythmic beating of a broken heart
He stood still as a stone, too overwhelmed to move,
an unexpected reply - a stab with a sharp knife;
His heart sank but his mind kept working -
"I have to make her mine" he murmured
And silence reigned once more - a ghostly veil
consumed him into its deepest interiors.

The crowd had gathered around the street
Where the body lay in a pool of blood -
Her eyes were wide open, a look of horror in them
Death was circling around her like a hungry vulture
A distant sound of an ambulance fainted into the chatter,
the blurred voices of a hundred alive souls,
Unknown faces staring down with remorse,
staring down at the innocent face -
She did not deserve to meet such a fate
A shadow came forward and stood directly beside her
A familiar face - she blinked her eyes.
He has come to rescue her, to take her in his arms,
to love her and hold onto her forever....
The man smiled crookedly - a gesture enough
to turn her burn her dreams into dust
"Why?" - a single word escaped her dying voice
"I had to make you mine" he smiled,
and vanished in the darkness again.

Blog Platforms

Ok so I thought I would change the blog platform and close this blog and try my hand on Wordpress instead. There are many reasons, the major one being that I need to update a hell of a lot of things in here that I haven't been at par with since I kind of quit blogging after December, 2007. So I registered on Wordpress and opened up a new site, but it didn't suit my liking. I like my current style and templates (appearances) a lot better and Wordpress seemed to be not so user-friendly (maybe that's just me, but I had that feeling). Anyways, I am kind of back to blogging after this long hiatus and hoping I would come across my old buddies who I miss a lot now-a-days.

And for all those who read this, all I have been doing these past few years was playing a variety of online games. :P

A Life's Tragedy....

As I lie on a moonless night under the blue, starry sky,
Thinking of the world around, and all my earthly ties
I realise I have to leave all these and walk past the line
To reach another sphere of life, only known to “time”
Suddenly a mortal fear grips my saddened soul -
What if I fail to accomplish all my unfulfilled goals?
Will the Lord forgive me for my shameful incompetence -
Or, shall I have to sit in a corner and forever repent?
Faces of my loved ones flash in my mind;
It will be so cruel to leave them behind
So I wonder why were we made to be like this-
First to secure a strong bond and then to strip it off with ease?
For I shall be gone and my body will turn black and gross.
But the people close to me will suffer an irreversible loss,
If only I could take them with me to the “other world”,
And decorate my life with a necklace of pearls;
A new fear arises – the fear of death,
With striking vengeance, I'm nearing to it with every breath.
The lush green trees, the sparkling blue water, all seem so familiar to me,
My sweet, humble home lights up as a glorious canopy,
The people of the world, their caring love and warm smiles:
Surpassing all boundaries, stretching for endless miles
With this, my body feels numb as my heart lets out a silent cry
That I could only appreciate the beauty of this world when I was about to die....
