Fragmented Existence

Like an Eagle looking at the sky

Its a gentle luxury to weep,

Clouds have winds for them to keep

Do you know what you want from this life,

To keep away from the darkness deep?

Fragmented existence

Darkness enveloping the bright sky,

A mighty fury building up

A tempest gone wild.

Riding the wind

Unleashing the storm,

Washed away by circumstances

Dipping sun giving way to the dawn.

Fighting the odds

Destroying the violence mile high,

Striving alone

Battling hard to clean up the sky.

Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes

Resurrect the bond,

Spread the hands wide

And fly out to the azure blue sky.

A reason to live

A reason to smile,

A reason to fly

Higher than the blue sky.

Once Again...

This is for the one who made it all possible..my best friend from yesteryears who had got lost in the mist of the past.

Its a different world altogether. A different place and a different plane of existence. I know it wont make sense to a lot of people but I'm not bothered. I know that N would understand it. And thats all that I want.

Change has been the only constant in my life because nothing is permanent except change. N and I have travelled a long path back from those days in the past. While she took a turn to the left, I turned right. It was happenstance that made us meet again. It was providence that made things conducive enough for us to get back and talk just like the good old days.

25 Oct 2007 goes down in my life as a day which sprang a big surprise. Its been quite a roller coaster ride through thick and thin but in the end, N and I came out much the wiser.

It feels great to have rediscovered an old friend, someone who does make a difference to you.

Thanks for everything N. It sure feels great to have you back in life.

Storm & Petals

She has somewhat of a mysterious aura around her that piques at your curiosity the first time you meet her. She is like a quaint old river that flows effortlessly through pebbles & stones & in the process ends up polishing them to a perfect shine.

She is the kind who will make you feel comfortable even under the glare of a 1000 eyes. She is somebody who can touch your circadian rhythm with ease & become a part of your living existence for the rest of your life.

Her affection & love for others is never elusive & people around her enjoy basking under the glory of her spirited existence. A wonderful soul who can never think ill about anyone nor has ever trampled upon anything in her life, she radiates grace & charm wherever she goes. She is the true manifestation of an esoteric beauty with oodles of cerebrum.

She is life!

Earth Bound Misfit

Dear Earth Bound Misfit,

I like the mysterious aura surrounding you. I really appreciate the way you've kept the cards close to you. But this mystery is too much of an esoteric delight to be forgone.

I'm wondering as to how come you know me but I can't place you. You said that you know me a decent bit. Now I'm wondering as to who you are because I'm not in the habit of forgetting people.

Yesterday is but today's memory, tomorrow is today's dream. The only use of a knowledge of the past is to equip us for the present. The present contains all that there is. It is holy ground; for it is the past, and it is the future.

Robert Frost once said "In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life. It goes on".

I know for sure that we know each other. Its not that I've forgotten you but just that its difficult placing you in this maze called life. I wouldn't hazard a guess because sometimes happenstance can go wrong. Nothing changes more constantly than the past; for the past that influences our lives does not consist of what happened, but of what men believe happened.

Nothing would give me greater satisfaction than getting to know who you are. I don't think I'll be expecting too much if I ask you to lift the veil of mystery surrounding you.

'Leave nothing but footprints... Take nothing but pictures... Treasure nothing but memories'.

Regards,

Zephyr.

Alive!

It feels good to be alive

Sun soaked existence

Pretty sight for the eyes.

It feels great to be able to fly

Soar like birds

Touch the zenith sky high.

There's a good deal to survive

Snow covered peaks

Sparkling rivers falling from icy heights.

It feels good to be alive

Mysterious existence

Stars twinkling bright.

The Coolest Blue

Circa 2005

It all started in Bombay.

Since then, life has meandered through pebbles & stones to flow effortlessly with the zest of life.

Where it goes, only time will tell.

* * *

The first time I met her
I fell in love with her charm
Meeting her that day
Was like falling into a romantic trance.

Second time we met
The hope looked brighter
Pictures came and melted the heart
Gave me all the more reasons to smile.

The third time things looked bleak
Didn’t want to miss her,
The glory of her charm
And get the tears of streak.

The pictures came
Went right through my mind
Glimpses of her gracious grace
And her most amazing charm.

Tho’ I aint AXL Rose and Slash
I still jive well
So I believed in God
Put my trust in his faith.

Didn’t want to miss Ms Grace
Snapshots of heaven
Wanderlust of the pure
The two way glory unfolds.

So ‘twas no surprise
That I met her again
Had the best time of my life
Till that very date.

The night was serene
The ocean a deep dark blue
Waters splashing on the Rocks
Foaming with a very different hue.


Things were looking their very best
Had nothin’ to regret
Took the decision
To live it all over again.

Sure about the decision
As sure as heaven as I could be
Want to capture this moment forever
Never to let go by of it again.

I don’t know what lies beyond the blue yonder;
Since I fly in the sky so blue and,
The mighty wings take me high;
Very few things interest me that are,
Not in the sky.

Didn’t know who she was
Didn’t know where she was
Don’t know why I never crossed her
In the alleys of life
Before that moment.

I know many things
Yet don’t know anything
But I know one thing for sure
She is so wonderful and true
That I’ll always find her

The Coolest Blue.
