In our Own selves....

By at

Do you know where I am?
Do you know where you are?
Do you know where we are?


The grass isn’t green.
The snow isn’t white.
The light isn’t bright.
The taste isn’t sweet.


The atmosphere is strange.
The air is misty.
The vision is out of range.
Your cheeks are thirsty.


The sky looks pitch black.
The birds don’t seem to fly.
There is something the winds lack.
Even the hard rocks cry.


Is this place, the Mars?
No it isn’t.
This is something familiar.
I had been here before.


Losing the skin you possessed.
Gaining superficial colors you never need.
Exploring the mind you never had.
Dreaming about the rainbow you never will have.


Do you know where I am?
Do you know where you are?
Do you know where we are?

I am buried alive…
You are buried alive…
We are buried alive…

In our own selves...

This was out of the world. Simple yet sending such strong signal. Our perfidious acts can sometimes deceive our own selves only. Self-introspection is the key to keep the ersatz behaviour away.

you're getting better and better by the day!
this is something I wrote sometime back!
"Being alone in a crowd of people
Is like being buried alive.
There's six cold walls around your soul,
And no one knows you haven't died."

peace & love

Dig into the past

Fly with me...

Will you follow my tail? Fly with me Take my wings free. I will take you somewhere, where there is nothing. No air to inhale, No water to quench, No body to be caged in, Nobody to envy, Nobody to hate, Everybody to love. But no way back, Yet you can traverse through the other route. Will you come? You will regret having spilt your blood here. Lets make it a memorable voyage! Falling down the Everest, Crawling through green meadows, Floating above misty clouds, Walking on transparent waters, Sleeping with minds closed, Lets derive joy from oddness. You know, the time, you were born, you didn't know, you were born. Likewise, you wouldn't know this too. Its a pleasure;Its an orgasm! Its a freedom from the bondage! How would immortals taste it? How would mortals know it? Poor world! Pathetic souls! Everything gain significance only after its loss. Its not the same with life, though the same with DEATH. Why do you fear to relish an elixir? Come, Lets invade the next Hell! P.S. I a...

ANGEL

By at
I wish to talk my mind to the one.. But I have got none. I wish to blog my mind.. But I haven't got time. I wish to die now.. But I have got burdens. Now I wish to live.. But I sob over my inability. I feel fragile and futile. I am awaiting an ANGEL.. To guide me in the light too.. To hear my inner insane talks.. To perceive the mazes of my mind.. I am awaiting an ANGEL.. But did I avert any already??

Opportunistic Pathogen

By at
Staring at the death , inevitable he still believes, he is capable; The present and the past has been a sorrow; And there will be no tomorrow; He scanned around for a light that would save his plight; It was dark all around and a star fell to the ground; Its intensity adulterated with evil; Now to live , he has to kill; In this survival race, the weak lose their face; The parasite invades the host; An upsurge among the pest; On a wrong axis, the people revolve; His dark soul will never evolve; From the bad , the good deflects; From his body , the malignant image reflects; He lives a day more at the cost of an inocent core!

i Don't Exist..

By at
Image
The eternal love for silence only aggravates the questions of the others.. The questions that never reap answers, & the answers that never trigger the solutions.. And the hunt goes on for a prey that never existed.. The prey, I pray for.. The prey, I pray to.. The prey, I stare into, inside my own reflections.. The race between the two titans, of the wicked mind & the mighty heart .. one would be sold a slave to the other.. & I would be indebted to the thorns forever, for I let my mind assassinate the heart!! It seems I am flawed again, as usual.. Trying to grasp the enigmatic human nature , all I gained was a little heaviness atop.. & all I lost was my soul for rent !! Simply.. i Don't Exist ..

Love, Live and Care...

By at
Why did I come back, when I had already waved goodbye? This is not the first time, its happening with me. I had fought with people,verbally and mentally(with silence),who mean so much to me in my life, only to find them knock my doors again the next day. I have had no other option but to stand with my arms wide open to welcome them back and forget everything that had spilt on the ground. Bcoz letting them out is just like ripping ur vertebrae out and feeding them to the dogs. For they hold inside them is a part of you, your secrets, your thoughts. And losing them is just weakening yourself. And I come back here to the blogville not for any of the above reason, simply bcoz I had run out of souls to share my soul. I know its just a temporary phase and everyone will have to face the temporary shift. I had myself been involved in consoling people here whenever they feel low and it was just my turn to be in the receiving end. We human beings need something more important than air. Its CARE...

The Final Cut

x : I saw this coming. But I never thought, it was lurking this closer. Me :You know, life is unexpected. Just when you are prepared to move on with your life, something waits for you to get you to an another world! Thats really sad... X :Yeah..its true..But did you ever think about me? What am I gonna do without you? I am a heart without blood. I am a book without pages. I am a life without will. I am a life without life. Me :hmmmmmm...I loved you more than myself. You were just a reflection of me. But still, I hated myself and loved you. But the time has come now. My life is without life too. X :Your words are comforting. But why don't you continue comforting me? Me :I wish I stay and keep moving you. But I have to end now. For I have something else precious in my hands. X :whats that more precious than me? Me :Its my life...my career... X :So am I just a passing cloud? Me :No, you are certainly not a passing cloud...you mean so much to me...know that...But nothing sta...
