Still & Silent

when turbulent times
made her decadent
she would adopt
stretches of silence
flying low
to the depths
of her soul
to listen to
the waves
surging within
light as a feather
not deafening
the quiet
yet stoic
in her stillness
she would see the she
that wasn't the she
she should have been

in the tranquility
of the still and silent
she would find herself again
each time. every time.

LIVE

It's all weird

the silence

the tears

the smile

the words

the heart

Life...

but

it is also true

that this is

how it is

and

there are no

two ways to it

either

hate it

sulk, and

perish

or

like it

enjoy, and

LIVE..!!

Deep in Stillness

On the outset ~

she appears stoned, numbed

with a blanked out mind

but this isn't the truth

she is deep in stillness

with an unusual calm within

that has embraced her wholly

so much that the chaos outside

can't touch her even remotely

such is the depth n' power

of her profound silence

that has got matured into stillness

she seems to have mastered the art

of controlling all her emotions

such that her true feelings

no longer feel as feelings

yet they are all existing

within the tomb of her soul

where she has laid them all in

akin to her innocent dreams

to take it along with her

when the unsullied virgin

white light will guide her

to shed her body on earth to leave

for heavenly abode, letting her take

with her only her pristine soul..!!

Intoxicating Blues..

a poignant precedent reality

that had left its share of scars on me

deterred me and made me more vulnerable

such that I was devastated in the apocalypse

that shred all the anchors that I held onto!

Within the realm of my present life

I did all that I could to handle the crisis

and there was nothing else that I could do

yet, they continued assaulting my soul

offering me no temporal respite to bounce back

so, this time I responded with a killer silence

as I could take in no more of the pain

the hurt had reached the set thresholds

n' I seemed to have surpassed them all!

Today, I've reached that state of mind

where I have started thinking out aloud

as my heart is ruptured with the ongoing

wishing hard for something or someone

to come n' calm my troubled self, and

drive all the intoxicating blues away..!!

Everyone needs Someone

No matter how much we say ~

we prefer our independence

need space, need privacy

but, truth remains

we all need someone, be it

the poor man in the streets

or the rich in his palace

be it the unknown common man

or the vastly acclaimed star

the greatest need of all our lives

is the need of someone

who fully understands us

and is there with us

through skies gray n' blue

to care, to love, to share

to hold us close or just let us be

who understands our silence

lessens our sorrows, and

doubles our happiness

its unto us to reach out to

such an extended hand in our lives

we all have one, but,

its is we who fail to recognize

the loving kindred spirit,

and deny us the feeling

of being taken care of, and

feeling complete in life..!!

Silence

When chaos n’ turmoil are flagrant in my life

n' I momentarily think I can't handle the rife

when tact’s, deeds n' words fail to do the needful

that's when I adopt the SILENCE that's powerful!

In the depth of silence ~

as I embark on the journey deep within

to contemplate over the realm that I live-in

as my musings n' thoughts unfold in my mind

I let them have a free flow, unchaining the binds

my heart, spirit n' soul akin connect as whole

bolstering my conscience, to take full control!

The harder the resolute to seek the answers

with the dauntless tenacity to not give-in

ensure a clean sweep of the cluttered mind

quasi yet real are the choices of this sojourn

now, it's up to me to decide which path to choose!

Silence is not a sign of weakness or loneliness

it's a powerful weapon of souls with fortitude

Silence brings together the elements within me

it has its own energy, substance n' style

Silence, I revere your presence in my life

for condescending me and showing me light!

SILENCE… I bow to thee for eternity..!!

Silence to Resilience..!!

as I pondered in silence...

my life reeled before me

from when I'd my sensibilities

a myriad of collages, replayed

some clear, some cluttered,

yet, somehow they all mattered!

a journey indeed ~

it's been for me...

from innocence to maturity,

melancholy to serendipity,

seen it all, done it all, and

learnt from every climb n' fall

there were the lows n' the highs

ensembled with the worldly sighs!

awed, stricken, diffident n' disdained

every emotion within me has been raked

been a wreck when filled with void

but have also experienced sheer pride

bouncing back has been a pattern of my life

through every crisis, windfall and strife!

destiny's favorite child, that is me ~

I've accepted it now and set myself free

in the depth of silence, I found the key

resilience, it shall be till eternity!
