Seeking Solace

After ten hours of shitty call taking...
Traveling in an oven with four wheels!
My purpose in life needed redefining.

Yet what is it that I do…
What is it that I look forward for?
A great mission - Reach for the stars for my dreams?

Nope!

Frustration on mute is one thing (Avaya)
On a cell phone is another
Damn, why can’t I use the mute then?

Now…

Follow you dreams
Make it happen
Get real – lets day dream!

Life’s not a celebration
So let’s look at life’s celebration
Durga Pooja – isn’t my passion like in her’s


But wouldn’t you know
My body, mind and soul
Had attained personalities of their own

Body seeked rest
While soul yearned passion
Mind decided ! A new found solace !

Then..
Sweet-pain !


Dazed in the flame of life.
…Under a dim lamp
Was life re-defined

Drained of life’s will.
…Sour drink
Brought refreshed joy

Hungered for goals.
…A simple bowl
Sated me whole

Rouse of many hours.
…Tired nerves
Relaxed on the floor

Afraid outcast.
….Clutched on wool
Comforted at last

Sought new treasures.
…shook hands with one
A Friend-Solace I found


P.S. those who know me well !
Can you remember..
Those rare moments, my mouth remains sealed
Not even a whisper uttered

An unknown upward curve :)
Lets you know
Am comfortable n sated

Blades

A pierced heart
Severed hope
Slashed from human existence

Escape I sought!

Fate gave me blades….

This time blades of grass
My misery amputated

"Contentment"

"Contentment"

I’ll always remember...the doorway-slightly ajar
Making me wonder,
Whether it ushers or gently forbids

The vision haunts me, when the moon creeps to its peek
The sinking moon-Daylight it brings
Most fears, say people-are engulfed in... its warmth

To me they linger as emotional joint
Puffing on it I wondered
Is it code to the heavenly abode?

Then one day, my eyes beheld
Not delight wrought from abuse
As muse on that sight

My haunt lingered no more
For by the door way
Stood contentment!
