Her

She was like an old braid,
Weak at the edges
but still holding strong.

She was like the water in a well,
Trapped and alone,
But saving strangers.

She was like the autumn,
Making trees go bald,
Being the bad guy,
So that spring could swoop in,
And show its magic.

She was the ice age,
Killing everything,
To bring forth evolution.

She was the air in space
Keeping you alive,
Self depleting.

She was the light
at the end of the tunnel,
Pushing you to move on.

She was the reason you are alive.​

Paper flowers

He held her in his hand

Softly,
Like she could break any second.
He folded her in his arms,
Gently,
Keeping her warm and safe,
And in his arms she stayed..
Folded..
Growing..
With every crease..
He altered moments of her life..
Perfecting her..
Every memory..
Every move.
And...
She started turning into..
This effortlessly beautiful...
Paper flower..

Growing up

You keep telling me to grow up.
But I cannot imagine myself,
Looking at a puddle and not jumping in it
Or not touching touch-me-nots,
Or eating fries without the Mayo in the burger.

Growing up sounds pretty formal...
Imagine
looking at the rain and not getting wet,
Going to sleep on time even though your favourite show is on.
Or always colouring the way you're supposed to and not how you want to.

Now imagine this,
Taking crayons and making
Brown triangular hills,
Black V shaped birds,
A straight blue river.
A green cloud like tree,
And stick people moving around...

Imagine chasing a rainbow just to find the pot of gold,
Or imagine talking to dogs cats fish and birds
Because you know
You know that the idea of Clifford Sylvester Nemo and Tweety
Must have come from some truth.

So if looking at the world
from an immature point of view
is what it takes to see the beauty
Then immature I want to be,
Because I want to...
Really want to believe
That there is a fat old man in red
who spreads happiness with just the idea of his existence.
That there is a world of magic
Keeping the darkness from descending on us,
That there is just one in a gazillion chance of me flying,
That maybe... Maybe...
There exists a..
" Better place"... a
" life after death "... Or a
" happily ever after"...

And if you still.. Still want me to grow up...
And if growing up means...
To look at life through your cynic eyes...
I rather not...

Theme: Taboo

Sub theme: A student teacher relationship

.

.

I keep thinking...
This class would've been just another dull substitution ...
Just another day in my life...
If he hadn't walked in.

**

I walked in, like any other day,
My friends glued to their apparent soul mates...
Not my cup of tea, no.
Great! A new sub for Mrs. Lawson for the day,
Writing her name on the board.

Then,
she turned, and I finally understood.
I understood what my friends jabbered about.
She had the face of an angel,
The eyes of a goddess,
Her voice, I couldn't process what she was saying,
But her voice... Ah that voice...
Like strawberries and chocolate...
The best thing,
She kept stealing glances at me.
I caught her eye once...
Can't forget that smile in a thousand lives.

Mrs. Lawson was away for a while.
A long while.
So our little game of watch went on.
She came back,
Everyday,
Day after day.

**

He spoke to me.
Not as his teacher, no
Coffee sounded like a very mature date.
And we went, to this little place,
We got a little place,
The spaces between us,
Closing in... To none.
He was a complete gentleman.

**

Her skin smelled like spring,
Her fingers intertwined with mine,
Her head on my shoulders,
Her place in my heart.

Nothing else mattered.

We kept coming back,
Again and again and again.

**

It was bliss.
I could see the love in his eyes.
Love for me.
I loved him.
Maybe I should've told him that.
Instead, I just... Loved him back...

Days,
Weeks,
Months passed.

A year later,
he turned 20,
And I turned on us.

It seemed like a cruel joke.
My love for him converted into
Into this constant reminder
Of our age,
Of our differences.

**

She started pulling away,
Words of my finding someone new,
Of this being so wrong,
Of faithfulness,
Of leaving our past behind.

One day,
She just stopped coming.
Like she gave up.
Nowhere to be found.
She broke me.
And left with pieces of me.
And I was never whole again.

My first love.

**

The love of my life.

...

In a huge room full of people
The buzz of everyone talking
Somewhere there are a couple of kids playing Tag
And somewhere there is a couple confessing their love for the first time
And I, I'm there, in the centre of the room, standing, alone.
No.. not lonely.

I'm here.
Standing. all my atoms composed. energized.
Erratic still.
My ears filled with the sound of life.
My eyes filled with the crowd around me.
My mind.. alert.
but my heart.. filled to the brim with nothingness.

I am wide awake.
My eye glowing with conviction.
My mind screaming.. a rebel..
But I...I feel nothing.

My memories show me happy times.
But I don't remember them.
The image of smiling faces
Seem out of place.
Haunting...
Alien maybe.
They try to claw their way back.
into my thoughts.
into my heart.
but NO!
I don't know them.
They aren't mine.

Pain surges through my arteries.
threatening my very existence.

Wait.

Zoom out.
lets look at the bigger picture here.
I'm in a huge room full of people
There are a couple of kids playing
There is a couple confessing their love to each other.

And I.
I am standing in the middle of the room...
Alone..
Fighting alien memories of happiness...
Fighting every natural instinct
telling me to fall down on my knees
Give up

Right now.
I am my world.
with pain..
with a rebel mind.
and with a hollow heart.

And I know just one thing for sure...

I am at war with myself.

Mother Nature!

Though we live with what you give
Oh Mother Nature, you are too ruthless,
Taking away lives of millions of innocent,
Since when did you become so heartless?

Though we not be able to seek solace
May the souls of those innocent rest in in peace,
Now let the rest live with happiness,
Who knows when it is their life you seize.

Enraged by the Haiti Floods

Saying: You & I

If you asked me what I saw,
I would sing you a song.
If you asked me to talk,
I would make you talk along.
If you asked me what I heard,
I would say, a heart beat.
If you asked me what I felt,
I would say, the sun's heat.
If you asked me where I was,
I would say, walking on water.
If you asked me if I was cold,
I would say,I've never been warmer.
If you asked me about the dark,
I would tell you it's the absence of light.
If you asked me if I saw the stars,
I would say, every single night.
If you asked me how annoying your questions were,
I would say, not at all.
If you asked me if it was the truth,
I... would always stall.
And If you asked me what I saw... I... would sing you... a song.

Far above

Far above,
The stars shine,
Shine on my face,
My face, staring,
Staring at the wide ocean,
Ocean full of dreams,
Dreams of being happy,
Happy with memories,
Memories of you and I,
You and I, we belong,
Belong together, forever,
Forever is a long time,
Time that we can't hold,
Hold between our fingers,
Fingers reaching out,
Out to the past,
Past of our lives,
Lives so insignificant,
Insignificant as air,
Air, that makes me struggle,
Struggle to survive,
Survive in the island,
Island of hopes,
Hopes of success,
Success without pain,
Pain piercing the hearts,
Hearts shedding tears,
Tears which formed this ocean,
This ocean at which I stare,
Stare as my face shines,
Shines in the light of the stars,
The stars, so...so far above

6-12

What a time it has been
Since the first day when
We couldn't even be seen
So timid and invisible.
Soon,
Becoming friends so close,
No one could separate us.
A minute shade of dark,
tears all around at the
word of sitting 6 feet apart.
Hearing "Hello" from someone new,
Didn't seem very right,
But later felt as beautiful as dew.
Close,we became, so much
Dying to meet everyday,
Promising to stay in touch.
3 years passed since then,
And nothing's changed,
Still as crazy, still as insane.
And today standing here,
Watching smiles all around,
Brings back those days of cheer.
And brings back that promise,
To stay in touch,
For today, tomorrow,
And everyday as such.
To never forget,
To never regret,
And always cherish the memories we made.

The Woods

Alone in those dark woods
I walk day and night
Strange voices creep on me
But nothing is ever in sight.

The feeling of being watched
Follows me around
As I make my way in the woods
Going round and round.

Whenever you need ...

Whenever you feel wronged,
Or dont feel as strong,
You needn’t have to hide,
Just take a look to your side.

Here for the happy,
Here for the sad,
Here for all those times,
When you need a hand.

To light up the dark,
To mend those broken hopes,
To right a total mess,
To always help you cope.

However these times may change,
However the rules may bend,
On this very special day my friend,
I present to you a friend.  

Lights Out...

The lights are out,
But the moon shines bright,

Look up at the sky,

And see those twinkling lights.

                  *

The candle flickers,

As the wind blows fast,

Look at the walls,

And watch the shadows being cast.

                  *

Find the star with the brightest glow,

Its the star you want to know,

For it is the star of fantasy and dreams,

'Cuz its the one and only Evangeline.

Around The World For You

Over the mountains &
Across the sea,
I've come to show
How much you mean to me.

Along the bridges
Guess what I found?

The gurgling of water
And your sweet sound.

High in the sky
Birds sing and they fly,
Reminds me of the days
I made you laugh after a cry.

Inside the caves
The darkness recalls,
My memories of you when
You wouldn't return my calls.

Under the shady trees
I sleep and I dream,
Of the funny times when
You'd see a spider and scream.

Over the mountains &

Across the sea,

I've come to show

How much you mean to me.

... a lesson ...

It's very easy to feel lonely,
And also to feel you are the only.

But never give grief the chance,
To spread its territory and enhance.
For the greatest quality in you,
Is to oversee it and continue.

Remember the ones you love,
Are connected to you with a power far above.
Never would you want them to feel that pain,
So why hurt them by walking on grief's lane?

Let no one tell you that you can't,
'Cuz you know, what you should and what you shan't.
So push grief away by a huge wall,
And never listen even if it tries to call.

Grief ends and happiness succeeds,
What more does any person need?

The Search

I left the bright sunshine

And entered the dark,

I heard someone crying,

The difference from a human voice was stark

I gave all it took

And was about to give up,

I thought of having a last look,

I found, it was my heart!

You Mean So Much To Me

Oh My! My heat is beating 

Wonder why I never realized this before 
Maybe because beside me you sit
Never knew that you could mean so much to me. 

All this time I'd been avoiding you 
Thought It'd be hard for me 
But I didn't have the slightest clue 
That you would mean so much to me. 

Now that I've finally found you 
I feel complete, both inside and out 
And I know you love me too 
Now I believe that you can mean so much to me. 

Your sparkling eyes, leave me mesmerized 
Your swishing tail during our long walks 
Touch of the wet nose by my neck, make my sleep vapourise 
Oh Sparky! you mean so much to me. 

Dedicated to my loving Sparky 
And all the other dogs in the world

Re: You've Got Mail !!

Miss Big Foot/ TurbulentMind

On the bed

Every room

My house (!)

Dear Miss. Foot/TurbulentMind ((as you prefer)),

I have a complaint against you and if u don't listen i'll have to call the police. I know you don't want me to call my police friends.

My Complaint: I find it comfortable and nice to build my web in entwined places. But you seem to keep playing with the entwined thing on your head. Do you think we can find out a way to stop that? I do hope we do. My family and I wish to get settled. We find your head an appropriate place with an always changing view. My wife has already planned the patterns for out new house.

As for your mail to me. I didn't know i was scary. Every one in my town tells me that I am totally awesome!! And I get my pedicure done every weekend. My stylist Fly Feet is the coolest. I'll tell him to give you a pedicure some time. You badly need one.

You write really nice poem. I published a book with your poem in it. Everyone loved it. Some of them thought that you were really rude. But I told them that "Its a poem. She gotta think it in a different way. So she wrote somethings which are not true. Or else it would be the same old story". I was right. Wasn't I??

And about going with you to every place. It's not true. It is actually not me, but my cousins. In the hostel its my first-cousin brother Squeaky Feet. In the car it my eldest sister Acht Feet. 'Acht' is eight in dutch. And btw, my son Восемь Feet has settled in your cupboard. 'Восемь' is eight in Russian. Hope you don't mind.

About your classes. Umm...You could come to my corner on 20th July of this year. I am busy till then. Hope it is fine with you.

Mr. Eight Feet

P.S.- I am the most talkative in my family. I am always free to reply to a letter.

>>Cooking with the most weirdest combinations possible...

>>Laughing at sis when she sees a spider, and then jumping on the bed when i see it myself ((that happens only when the spider is humongous...other times i just keep laughing...Really))

>>Thinking that I'm pretty... ;P

>>Never talking to people at the first shot, or the second, or the third, and when it's time to leave... VOILA!!! i'm chattering non-stop...^_^

>>Acting weird...

>>Making my friends bored to death...

>>Thinking that I sing good...

>>Thinking of blowing up a place with a nuclear bomb... ((Muahahahahaha...)) ((don't believe it?? ask my teacher))

Well the list is long...

but this is all for now...

All Alone...

Standing all alone under the shadow of a house

The quiet surroundings give me the chills,

Feeling lonely as I remember those days

And thankfully the time kills.

I let out a small screech

As an owl above me flies,

I try all ways to calm myself

And succeed only by telling lies.

The dog barks and runs with might

He leaves me alone to fight my fear,

I try to sing to myself

And in the darkness, my sound, again and again I hear.

Standing all alone under the shadow of a house

I feel the wind quietly blow,

It drives away my fear

And the time doesn't move as slow.

A fight to Success

Prologue

My sister and I, standing in the open field which is faintly visible only by the light of the full moon, she stands there coolly as i try to overpower her with my newly found magic. But her magic is too strong for me.

___________________________________________

Poof !

Poof !

Poof !

My magic fails as it clashes with the powerful barrier of her 4 year old magic

and turns into dust...

I don't give up and try again

but alas...

she leaves me with another Poof!

I have to find a way to beat her. ((or at least a way to run away)).

I look around desperately, looking for some hole or some flaw in her barrier.

All of a sudden a thought like a thunderbolt strikes me. I fly high up above her with agility leaving her totally clueless. And then start attacking her from the top and "BOOM! BASH! BAM!". My magic gets her off guard and she gets thrown back a mile away.

Suddenly everything starts vibrating. "An earthquake!!??" i think. But it wasn't possible. I was flying!! Something hits me hard on the head n i fall down. Everything fades n my eyes close. My head pounding, and i can't think of anything but the pain.

__________________________________________

Then all of a sudden I find my strength & wake up, only to find myself in my dark room and my alarm going off & vibrating vigorously. I see my sister beside me and her hand near my head. I remember the pain.

I smile to myself, shut the alarm and go back to sleep....
