For the sheer joy of writing

The feel of my fingers dancing on the keys
My back arched over the laptop
The air of intelligence hovering over me
In spite of the idiocy from my brain’s backdrop

Deep thoughts and shallow emotions
Deep emotions over silly situations
Crazy solutions for frightening revelations
Wish I were a better poet
To pour out the heart’s desperation
Rather than the jingle for a Multi-National Corporation

They say you must tackle a problem with devout care
But that sometimes is the long round way
To hell with order and discipline
Be it solutions, thoughts, emotions or even my rhyme scheme
Now I celebrate the freedom
The Joy of writing – above all things

The joy of being free, the joy of learning
The joy of growing, the joy of loving
I discovered it at the tip of my fingers

Now I celebrate

Hope

There is a journey…
It starts from a sight. Or maybe from a word.
A phrase, a sentence or anything new that has come into your life.
You see it, not just for what physical form it has,
But for what it means to you.
A new job, a new teacher at school
or maybe a new toy that you have got.
You dream… of a world that this thing,
This sight that has presented itself before you
For the first time, can take you to.
Then you understand that this world is not so far away after all.
It is tangible, so near and so real –
You wish for it. You want to touch it – its feel
Then all of a sudden – you can’t live without it…
It is in your thoughts, all the time
In every breathe – “It will be mine”
You fall in love, with something so unknown
Unaware – that you will be torn…

One fine day, expectations disappear
You meet your worst fear
What could have, would have and should have dies
“What is”, comes in its place… sighs
You see the reality, you touch it and feel it
You realize that it is just shit!

It starts with a feel of loss. “I wanted much more!”
Then you find out, the reality is actually sore
“Oh no matter, I can handle things”
You have no idea, what disaster it brings
“This is sheer torture”, you cry…
To get rid of it, you can only try

Then you realize – this is forever
You moan and cry… atleast for something better
Alas! All in vain! You are helpless…
Your life is in total mess…

Engulfed you are by frustration
Dried out completely of all emotion
As barren as desert your life becomes
You take it all as it comes
For there is no other choice
You don’t even have a voice
Some say it is about your perception
“Screw you and your perception!”

Low on confidence, devoid of faith,
You are sure that your life is a waste
And your poet has nothing to tell you
Atleast not now…

But someday in future just look up these words
And recall – this is what the blogger said all along
An angel will come along and take you to a world
That you had forgotten for so very long
It is not escape, it is not paradise
It something so much more beautiful
No longer will you hear any lies
Understand that your day are going to be fruitful

Who is that angel? You will never know
The wait for her is probably the sweetest thing in life
When you see her you won’t bow
But she will give you till your heart will suffice

What is it she give you?
Why ofcourse, the most wonderful thing in the universe

Hope
(And trust me, from there on things are worth the wait!)


Love

The Loudest Words

Say it once, twice and again a hundred times
Scream and shout until your lungs burn out

Preach, teach; nag him like a leach
Scold and advise, just to make her wise

Read and write until they get it right
And say it again, they wont even put a fight

For immunity catches up, needn't say 'Stop'!
That is their wont, "No, I won't!"

That's just how loud words can get,
Whoever the speaker, that I bet

Not just advise, even something as sweet
As "I Love You" will eventually deplete

Redundant it becomes,
All bemoan, "Here he comes"

I shed the ego that any writer carries
Give up the belief that words are fairies

For it is evident, they can't change the universe
To believe it can is simply perverse

Hence I tell you - "Just zip it"
Bloody Blundaleomite, can you do it?

Claims of love, how sincere?
Show it to me, how much you care

Treat my eyes, astonish my touch
Prove it to me, just do that much

That and only that can pierce my heart
Everything else is as good as fart

How loud actions are - the adage is
"The Loudest Words" won't be spoken
Sit tight and enjoy the show friends
My first poem - here it ends!
