Seeing you . . .What it means to me!

When life threw a brick at me, I stood there stunned not able to see
My numbed senses echoed with cries, nightmares that tormented me

I gazed into the past, trying to figure out where things had gone wrong
And the sullied fate did mock me incessecently, to waver my faith still strong

Sleep wouldn't come and the anguish left uncountable wounds on the soul
The night threatned to engulf me into its arms, darker than the darkest coal

And so I asked my heart, if I would ever see the light
or was I doomed to die a slow death in the sorrowful night

But its hope that resurrects and life laughs at the morose me
Says it, "Do you have the time to ponder, cos I'm nimble and I'll flee"

And I light a single candle, and decide to set my inhibitions free
The glow of warmth melts the frigid me, for I see your soulful eyes smiling back at me . . .

Destiny decides . . .

It’s been a long time . . . since I lived a duality. The conscious fights a losing battle. Or is it a wining battle? I do not know what to say to myself or what to believe any longer. Precious moments tiptoe away as ambition, dreams, and redemption conflict with serenity, love and charm.
I struggle to find my true identity. What is it that defines my existence? What makes me who I am?
Is it the people in my life? - Loved ones, friends, enemies, strangers . . .
Or is it my imaginations? - Fragile, vague, evolving in no particular direction
Or rather, is it the ups and downs life has been throwing at me time and again?
There aren’t any answers . . . just one riddle leading to the next one.
Each riddle, more intriguing and more tantalizing than the previous one.
Loneliness has stopped hurting me long ago. Pain has ceased being an excuse. I count my blessings and revel in a strange yearning for peace.
I touch the morning dew in hope of magic . . .
I glow back at the moon in the hope of living a dream . . .
I walk barefoot on the lush greens in the hope of steadying my senses . . .
I lie down on the cold earth gazing back at the starry night skies, in hope that I understand the mysteries of the cosmos . . .
As I drift in and out of consciousness, hope is the one flame that sears inside me . . .
Hope is the life force that shapes my destiny! Hope that relationships thrive, dreams transcend to reality, my identity evolves and life gets another dimension . . .
Who knows what the future holds? Destiny decides . . .

Magic . . .

I walk across the stark backdrop of the desert, wading through the sands of time
Life has transformed into an enchanting melody without a reason or rhyme

Moments touch my soul and cradle my passions, as the wild wind rushes by
I spread my arms and whisper your name into the omnipresent dark sky

The stars glitter and wink, the winds rush in gusts and make me blink
I search for your footprints, across the vast plains , lest my hopes sink

The soul thirsts to hear you call my name, I trudge on wanting a caress, gulping shame
The eye sees a million illusions, mind-numbing mirages that turn into shadows lame

The loneliness threatens to steal that one spark of life that I hold dear
But hope sears through my body, removing doubt, casting aside all fear

I look up to the solitary moon and smile at its magical demeanor
The cold winds do nothing to kill my inner warmth; I can feel you somewhere near

Closer than a step, or just within a grope or a shout,
or are you the reason of my existence and not without?

Snippets of our times together bring a glow to my face,
A glistening tear slides down the cheek, leaving a single trace

My heart skips a beat, and a shiver runs down my supine back
I can see you in the moonlight, a shimmering vision dressed in black

The sense of helplesness gives way to an unparalleled ecstacy
We are face to face, before I can distinguish reality from fantasy

Time stands still as I lose myself into your expressive eyes
Not a word is spoken, but emotions cause a riot that never dies

You take my hand in your hand, our lifelines meet
and it is this surreal magic that sweeps us of our feet . . .

Surrecting within

For long Ive been this other person I know nothing of
Oh, finally I step out of the mask, its a complete face off
The stars shine bright, they smither, they smile
And all those dreams come back, they'd gone and its been a long while
How come I gesticulated a sensational me into someone so ordinary
Its payback time, im not here to take life and its blows, its time for a new story
Strutting on the dance floor I go round n round, its my time in the limelight
I go boombastic, i jump and reach the stars, im the sparkle,an illusion in eternal flight ...

Calm unto the dawn . . .

I walked upon a cloud,
enveloped in a treacherous shroud.

Wispy mists huddled by,
it was the perfect soiree, with a severely drenched sky!

The thunder reveberated like songs in a temple
Lightenig rustled across the dark expanse, only to crumple

I clenched my fist, for I had to ignore those demons within
My throat was parched , as if to mock at my soaking skin

Could a tremor shake my faith, my belief ?
Or was it just a momentary lapse , before infinite relief?

I knew not what the futures held, for who studies roads among a mire?
My saviour was that light within, the limitless calm - an eternal fire!

Looking at the world through the Inner Eye !!!

Im still here and very much alive! Ive been into photography for quite some time. I won't wrtie today. I will let the picture emote, what I have to say. Maybe I will write a post on it later. So here goes ...

Thats a take at life for you! Talk about diversity and compatibality. This picture talks about two personality types.
1.) The subtle and the blunt
2.) The vibrant and the stark
3.) The emotional and the practical
4.) The real and the ephemereal
5.) Look for two opposites ... Could be day and night. Whatever!!!

As an afterthought: Bridges dont appear out of thin air. We reach out and build them. No! This ain't a foolish notion. In this life, I'd rather be building bridges than walls. Wall shelter, but do they let us lear about new things? I'd rather brave a storm and travel a new path, than build a strong wall around myself and fail to see beyond.
Wish all of you a Happy New year !!!
