The Adopted Ones For those who believe talking to inanimate things is retarded and juvenile, please don't read any further... I got Woozie almost an year back. He's white, fluffy and cannot stand. He can fall on his ass with a goofy smile on his face. I sleep with him every night, holding him close to my bosom. Yesterday my friend commented, "Like most men in your life, this one's also getting more than he deserves." Woozie is not a man, he's a stuffed dog. Only I don't like using that word for him. He's the only member of my family, actually living in my house, and gets introduced to everyone who comes to my house. Some give him a handshake, others go 'Weee' and hug him, some just smirk at me, and decide I'm a psychopath or a female reincarnation of Mr Bean. But who cares? I love Woozie. There's this song by Cat Stevens, "I love my dog more than I love you. You may stray, but my dog will always be true..." On Saturday, me and
Song For The Week: This Flight Tonight Look out the left the captain said The lights down there, thats where we'll land I saw a falling star burn up Above the Las Vegas sands It wasn't the one that you gave to me That night down south between the trailers Not the early one That you can wish upon; Not the northern one That guides in the sailors Oh starbright, starbright Youve got the lovin that I like, all right Turn this crazy bird around I shouldnt have got on this flight tonight You got the touch so gentle and sweet But you've got that look so critical Now I can't talk to you baby I get so weak Sometimes I think love is just mythical Up there's a heaven Down there's a town Blackness everywhere and little lights shine Oh, blackness, blackness dragging me down Come on light the candle in this poor heart of mine Oh starbright, starbright You've got the lovin that I like, all right Turn this crazy bird around I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight I&#
An Air of Detachment I'm not going to curse you Anymore I'm not going to disdain What couldn't echo forever I'm going to stand back, and look at it From the outside. Through the windows, I see the house beautifully lit with candles. There's incense, devotion, almost like an altar. There are gardens, with wild flowers, and a painting of two kindreds under a starry sky There are words, buzzing around with rainbow wings And a violin playing notes of companionship. It's a house set in another time. But now I'll give it One last overwhelming look And bid it goodbye And I'm going to float mid-air In the white clouds Get drenched in the drops mingled with sunlight, Lie back and smile, Till it's time to fly away and descend in a new land with the memory of a warm house that could have been home.
Repurcussions Ashes to ashes Dust to dust One wrong step We all fall down You burnt me up You charred me down The torch you hid behind Laughing at my fireworks Watch out my master, As I jump on coals for you, Watch out my love As I go barefoot on the pyre for you Watch out my dear, The volcano's flowing And its remains will Burn your house down.
Afternoon Thirst And just like that you tell me, you still love me, and we should try once again And I get fooled once again Into thinking that dewdrops stay forever even when the sun threatens to soak everything up in sight...
Tum Kal phir aaye the tum Akeli raat ki khamoshi mein Phir se tum ne kaha ek baar Na dhoondon mujhe Main ek bhavar hoon, Na tumne mujhe kabhi jaana, Na jaan paaogi Mere sannate ki goonj Tumhari deewaron ka rang Kabhi na ban payegi Main phir haansi, phir se kaha, Mausam jab badlenge, tab tum doondoge woh boondein Samundar jab sunkhenge, tab bhavar banenge sifar Phir kya hoga us hawa ka, Jisne kabhi chalna na seekha Phir kya hoga us dil ka Jisne dard ke dar se Kabhi dharakna na seekha?
What do you fear? The word 'phobia' according to dictionary.com is "A persistent, abnormal, and irrational fear of a specific thing or situation that compels one to avoid it, despite the awareness and reassurance that it is not dangerous." Which basically means that most phobias have no basis of rationality behind them. In fact, the things that we fear, are sometimes things that we need to overcome, and suggest our basic flaws. This got me thinking about my fears and I thought I'ld list a couple: 1. Swimming pools: I don't know where this stems from. I've never had a drowning experience ever, especially not in a pool, even though I don't know how to swim. I love water, so much so that I've decided the day I've had enough of this life, I will walk calmly into the sea. The sea is something that I thrive on. So, I thought about this. The sea is different from the pool because it has motion, unpredictability. The pool is still waters. Maybe it sug
Love I forget how it goes, The dreamy stages of wakefulness The blissful pain of tears The wet disguises Shared in amorous moments. I forget the brilliance of stars, sea, skies I forget that once known story Read by tender hands at bedtime. Can hardly remember the dancing shadows on moonlit nights The pounding of New thoughts. I forget how it goes The most common word On everyone's lips. I forget its sound. It's left me far behind. I look ahead To see it evading me In every corner. But I look behind And I vaguely catch In the drifting breeze The silent smell Of what it means.
New I've just moved to a new house. Actually, compared to my last house, it's relatively older. But what happens when you create any kind of changes in your life in any way is this...you leave a house, it's surroundings, your memories related to it, the people you wanted so bad, in a different way. These days I have no thoughts occupying my mind, no need for comfort, no one that I miss, none that I love so much that I can't do without them. I've moved on...in fact, I've made it my skill to move on as quickly as possible. When I need to stop, slow down and invest, I will. Right now, I want to run. Run faster and faster, from all these things behind, leaving them further away. And when I'm tired, panting for breath, I'll stop. And I shall turn behind to see everything in a blur. When I see nothing clearly, the only way I would choose to go is ahead. And then the slowing down, the quiet walk, in the rain, with the birds. Peace alone.
