The Tempest of change

Another day and nothing's changed at all,
The world whirls around as i endlessly fall,
I look around wildly but there's no one to call,
And then i find myself , back to a brick wall.


No deed too great,
no worry too small,
I don't want to beg no more,
No, i don't want to crawl.
It's been a long time coming,
But now its here to stay,
And in the darkness i see it,
a faint glimmer or light far away.

While through the Darkness it is that i wade,
as the storm ravages and the world fades,
looks like i'm finally getting out of my checkered past,
and moving forward to meet my Destiny at last.

Beautiful day!!!!

It's been long enough i say,
since that long gone new year's day,
a blurred memory, a shadowy past,
though the images just don't seem to last.

I've been waiting for you all this while,
standing patiently at your corner with a ready smile,
Shivering silently, drenched by the rain,
looking out for you, till the lights began to wane.

Beyond reason, muting the pain,
the flashbacks make me go insane,
the blur of your presence , the heaven scent,
but maybe I'm just stuck too long in the moment.

I've re-opened this book today,
and I see that most of your pages have torn away,
and it's making me smile as i pen this down and say,
Good lord , today's a beautiful day!

The Four letter word

FLASHBACK

One of the most over-hyped words in the world today is probably the four letter word as we know it. A hundred thousand people claim to be in it, a few million here and there claim to have felt it and a few billion believe in it... The rest however believe that it is a purely hypothetical and convenient arrangement. This is where my story started. Just another morning. And that’s when I saw her.

The world stood still, as time seemed to rapidly diminish into immateriality. There she stood, as fresh as the early morning dew on the petals of an exotic flower, enticing exciting and endearing all at one time. A sparkle in the light brown eyes, enough to set your heart ablaze when you looked at her, and yet amongst that warmth , when her soft gaze met yours, a chill up your spine , up to your heart in a flash , like a cold fist nestling around the embers of it’s warmth. Refusing to melt, refusing to let go, yet infuriating the blaze instead of extinguishing it. There she was the angel of my eyes. Standing in front of me in person.

You would expect. This to be the most comforting thing in the world, but frankly in this world, nothing is as it seems. Her aura shone though her mortal presence, and she glimmered in many a brilliant lights. A scene like which you have never seen. A subtle aroma of her fragrance clouded my mind, made me loose my mind. Everyone knew I was in it…. Over my head. But me, I realized it too late. When the lights had dimmed, she had gone, I had never got her. Flashed passed, a distant memory. A midsummer’s night’s dream.

And that is exactly where I stand at the moment; In that peculiar condition, as if awaking from a deep slumber. I wow to find out what magic this is. This four letter word. It did things to me I never though possible and it is one mystery I will unravel. In an effort to bring to light the truth, I shall play investigator trying to get to the bottom of this mystery. It is a long dark and dangerous journey. Where this will lead, who knows? And yet, it has to be done. The future beckons. Nothing is going to be the same again.

I write this as my diary as I decide to set out on this journey. It is a dark and rarely trodden path. I might come back, changed, permanently scarred, if at all I return. I shall however appreciate any sort of feedback or questions as I traverse this path. The journey has begun. I set out now.
