The Hero

He was a fabled champion, perpetually battle ready His sword always sharp and his shield always steady. Galloping on his high horse, he had no worries or care. Lesser men shrunk at his sight, the dreamy eyed women would stare. He was the King’s most trusted knight, many a battles he had won. Songs were sung in his name, warriors like him there were none. As he rode on his steed one evening,  into the dull evening sun. He glanced upon a damsel , and he knew she was the one. She had flowers in her hair and a beautiful smile on her face. His heart skipped a beat; things scurried by in a daze. A new horizon unraveled, he fell into a trance Unburdened of all his splendor, with just a single glance. He climbed down from the stallion, and inquired “Who art thou?”, But she just stood there muted, panic crept across her brow. She said she was a priestess, from the Far East she had arrived, He knew that hope was lost; between them was a great divide. He...

I have nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion

People amaze me. Even the most laconic and dull ones seem to possess a certain charm. Everyone has got a back story. But I'm especially mesmerized by the crazy ones, they are the ones that shine like stars on a moonless night. It's a pity there are so few of them. They have a certain vigor for life, a hunger that I seem to have lost somewhere along the line. I live on from one day to the next, seasons come and go, people come and go, I remain pretty much the same. I keep riding away. With my own self staring back at me from the abyss, I keep riding away. Only a bleak silhouette of the past remains in my thoughts.I look ahead to an uncertain future. My heart is in two places, my mind in a million. Sometimes life appears very fruitful and full of possibilities, at other times though it appears as dull and damp as a trampled upon newspaper on a rainy day. Life keeps changing colours every other day, it likes to tease you like one cruel mistress. Heartbreaks,failure,disappointme...

Dull days

Undeterred by the monotony of the dull days. I hang on to the last straw. Forsaken by those whose company, I treasured most. Nonchalantly I keep living for tomorrow. Content with living in ignominy, I've found bliss. Self assuredly I walk along, Away from all the sorrow.

Pizza

This lingering sense of utter helplessness is completely in contrast with the elation and happiness that I'm feeling inside. It intrigues me how I can harbor such contradictory thoughts at the same time. I feel nothing and everything. I can see everything and yet I see nothing. I want to believe in everything and yet I believe in nothing. Have I become cynical or just bored? Have I finally cracked up, or have I finally come to my senses? For a moment I feel like the past was better, and then again I feel that the present is more preferable. Does God exist? If he doesn't then fine, but if he does, then does he like pizza?

Albatrosses

The jay bird sings above, perched atop the timber, The tone of its voice, enchants me, it has given me a premonition, Dark days are approaching,  a somber shadow has been cast. The ship has left the shore for an uncertain voyage, and an ordeal is bound to be confronted. An uncertain journey indeed. A storm was approaching, I did not see it coming, and it had been lurking near the horizon, just out of my foresight. It is funny how you get lulled into a fake sense of complacency because of a short period of respite, and when all seems merry, you fall. And you keep falling. I sit and contemplate. Is there no other way? All I want is a humbler route, less treacherous and quieter. A lighthouse to guide my ship that has been led astray. The weight of the numerous albatrosses weighs me down, the cogs refuse to move, the wind does not blow and I have been tangled up in spider webs. Blow the trumpets, pull the strings, unleash the hounds, someone just wake me up!

In a wakeful doze I keep gazing

Though my life is turbulent, the water is calm. It soothes my shaken nerves, washes away the distress. In a wakeful doze I keep gazing.. Though the times are bitter, the breeze is sweet. It blows away my sorrow, whisks away the dullness. In a wakeful doze I keep gazing.. Though the people around me are cold, the rays of the sun are warm. They mellow down my temper, burn away all the hate. In a wakeful doze I keep gazing..

Let me fall my friends

Let me fall my friends, Let me fall, down this hazy staircase, Plummeting to my certain doom. This is my fate and I have resigned myself to it. Let my sorrows wear me down, And let the dogs of disaster ambush me. Let them masticate upon my brittle bones, And chew upon my mutilated pride. Let me fall, let me fade into oblivion. Desert me like the boats desert the wharves at dawn. For I want to rise again, I want to wash away all the gloom, But on my own, with no cobwebs left to bog me down.
