My old self

-


 In d middle of the crowd,
Still I feel alone
No one near me
I am my dark clone

I was nice
I was humble
I would laugh
even when I stumbled

As I started to take 
seriously my life
I have shredded all the fun
With a serious' knife

I want my old self back again
but I don't know how
I don't want to run like animals
Not ever ....not Now

    Renu - So well written - straight from the heart. But tell me - what is stopping you from getting your old self back? Think about it. Reflect. Introspect. Maybe the answer lies there!

      Age, an issue? at this age? A very fatalistic perspective. Its a shamelessly effervescent heart and eternally buoyant soul that sustain and nourish the fun (sic) in life. And both transcend age. Life was never meant to be a joke - wrong parallels drawn.
      "I am my dark clone" - out of this world expression.
      Only animals and children are not encumbered by social leg-irons to the human soul.
      Being either, at heart, should be the wind beneath your wings.

      Further, on "FUN" :-

      “Everything in life that’s any fun, as somebody wisely observed, is either immoral, illegal or fattening.”

    Most of us like to be away from the crowd. We could never get back our own self so long as we are not alone.
    Beautiful poetry, nicely composed.

your kisses, your touch

Everyday when I look into your eyes I always feel I can't love you more Every morning when I feel your warm hug I know you are the man I would die for And when my skin burns with your touch I realize its your soft touch that allures Every kiss of yours is a promise Words that come out of your mouth are hard to ignore Every single minute without you is torture remember "you'll be always around" you swore Would give anything to be in your arms Would present you with all the kisses I have in store.

My Platinum Day of Love

Aren't arranged marriages just beautiful? Your parents happily propose a boy on your behalf and all you have to do is to look pretty and pretend that all that is laid on the table was made by you. Vikas and I had an arranged marriage. The first month of our marriage was all about holiday (I hate the word honeymoon) awkward moments, talking softly and putting our best foot forward. Soon after the holidays we shifted in our new house. My life seemed to have started fresh altogether. Not only marriage and my husband were new to me but also the city and its people (I am from Kolkata and Vikas worked in Mumbai). People in Mumbai are very detached; most of them had no idea about the residents of their building. Kolkata was very different, we even knew our neighbors' relatives. Mumbai was fast Kolkata's slow pace had its own charm. I really missed being in Kolkata especially road side food ghugni & puchke (Gol Gappe). Vikas would always take me to those fine dining r...

Who needs prince charming??? ;)

Every girl wants a Prince Charming.... but at times I wonder......Will a Prince Charming go out in the rain with me, with no umbrella??? Will he wake up in the morning with tussled hair...disheveled look and still look extremely sexy and huggable?? Will he go out and buy vegetables and even bargain?? I guess not. When I imagine a Prince Charming, he’s a guy who would prefer broccoli and salads over paratha or pizza, who's impeccably dressed almost 24*7...properly combed and not a single hair out of place, even when he's about to hit the bed ..Starched white button-down shirt...shoes shining that could even bring mirrors to shame... something on d lines of Ken...our very own Barbie's boyfriend. When I meet such people all I want is to mess up their hair a little..force them into having french fries or burger make them look and feel a little more human. I read it somewhere a house should be clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be comfortable. I thin...
