An Incessant Pursuit

A hand rests on your shoulder You wipe your tears to get a clearer view And turn around to have found someone smiling and staring at you The dark corner of your heart lightens up to have found him You hold his hand; sob inexhaustibly ‘I have come here to untie the entangled threads of your heart’ You smile relieved, you found someone to share your problems with The jaw distances itself, the mind searches for words, the heart fills with emotions, the eyes get blurred ‘The secret storm will evade now, he will definitely find a solution to all the troubles in my life, the pessimist spiral will be no more in place.’ You bow down, the grin widens Radiantly, you look up. The reality strikes, you feel a pang, an adrenaline rush The room again gets empty, you stand there all alone ‘Where are you? Look, I need to talk. This little heart and brain of mine will burst now. I need answers. Come to my rescue.’ Utter silence in the room; loneliness thumps you You k

An eerie numbness, an uncanny unhearing That faceless gaze for lust, strength and money; Heedless humans wandering and hunting Souls suspended in the flowing water, Smothering, like a fish coming up for air. The heart beats wildly, sweat pours down the forehead, What is wrong with the world? Are we humans anymore? Plummeting down a deep slumber; Stooped to such an extent, That hollow heart and empty mind That caters to no one’s needs. There are screams unheard, cries aloud And they stand still and stare, A slap on the face, may be? They have given their hearts away; have wasted their powers Hard-hearted, hard-boiled, cold-blooded, Are we humans anymore? Those callous comments torment the spirit Iron-hearted psyche demands for more, Their cupidity is fathomless, an endless pursuit- A world where solutions mete out with barely a whisper And emotional scars rake the heart. The ruthless rummage needs to halt Because at the trunk we are all Huma

2014 had been an year of blessings- a deep introspection, free of turmoil and agitation, calm; that made me strong internally. I won't tag memories as good or bad ones, there were mere lessons learnt as I walked down the lane. It was a race against myself, and indeed I have groomed up as a human being. I have learnt to be more rational and humane at the same time. This year has been a memorabilia I will always cherish. As I usher into yet another dawn of blessings and disguised-blessings, I hope to endure blessings from the past year- as I rediscovered myself the past year. I've become all the more a person of morals and precept. No new year resolutions because I don't need any rhyme or reason to commit and tame myself, as I keep doing this the whole year round. An addition, anyways, would be to anchor my mind and emotions; to be more like myself- the dramatic flair and the confidence.  I await more responsibilities and opportunities. Serenity and peace ever
