Now, Forever and Beyond...

A stretch of road, an iron gate,
What lies beyond, i contemplate

I look above and see the sky,
I close my eyes and seem to fly

The clouds afloat just drift along,
Without an aim. I wonder why!!

Far away i hear a song,
I catch the tune and hum along

The melody is soft and sweet,
And i cant stop my dancing feet

The rising sun fills me with bliss,
As the passing wind offers a kiss

Your charming silhouette, tall and strong,
I sense you watching me for long

But alas, the iron gate,
It seperates us and so our fate

And then my gaze it meets with thee,
And i know what is meant to be

No iron gate, no towering wall,
Shall ever keep our souls apart

My happiness now knows no bounds,
For the freedom that is newly found

The heavens smile upon us now,
now, forever and beyond...

Those were the days....

Those were the days when being together wasn't a compulsion forced upon by time. Those were the days when you knew all my little secrets and i knew yours. Those were the days when our first crushes were shared with an ardent anticipation and joyful hopes. Those were the days of girly chatter which lasted for hours together without realizing how much time has passed. Those were the days when we thought that this is what freedom is all about, loving, caring and being there for each other, no matter what. Those were the days when the painful moments of heartbreak were shared and there was a shoulder to cry on, when the hope that things will be better seemed so true just by the mere presence of each other. Two minds, two souls, leaning on each other, building the wall of friendship, stronger than ever.

And then, the times changed..or did we?

These are the days when dropping a line to say hello takes months of careful pondering. These are the days when the words seem to get lost in some unknown space before being uttered, as if knowing that the distance is too large to be crossed. These are the days when there is no more the chatter, nor any sound of the carefree laughter, no more of spending time together, no more secrets to be shared. These are the days when the ways have parted and you seem to have taken a different road. Our paths now somehow do not meet and there isn't any sign of a crossroad either.

But i long for the good old days. There still exists a faint hope deep within me that those days will merge into these, that the distinction will be blurred and that our paths will cross again...Someday !!!

Dreams.....

I saw a rainbow in my dream,
    on a cloudy day across the stream

I saw a blade of grass aglow,
    with the dewdrop sliding fresh n pure

I saw a blooming daisy flower,
    beneath the trembling crumbling tower

I saw the waters rise and fall,
    forming a pattern on the mountain wall

Far away on the mountain top,
    i saw you standing deep in thought

I called your name with all my heart,
    you wouldnt turn, no matter what

I dropped my gaze with a broken heart,
    you and i stood worlds apart

The stillness of the time, the place,
    is still with me in many ways

I long to wake up from this dream,
    to hold your hands and fly away........

Aww..Me...

A part of me : This is awful!
The rest of me : You need to see the glass as half full and not half empty
A part of me : I dont see it as half empty. I see it as completely empty and honestly, i dont see any glass at all :P
The rest of me : When life throws lemons at you, make lemonade
A part of me : Yes, you are right. And i have a sore throat. So lemonade will actually help me make life worse for me. But then again, as i said there is no glass, so how do i make the lemonade?
The rest of me : You need to start looking at the brighter side of life
A part of me : It is dark right now. So i guess i'll wait for the sun to rise.
The rest of me : You are impossible!
A part of me : Which according to Adidas is nothing. Which means i am nothing. Which means this is so awful!

Gist (To be read in CAPITAL and BOLD) : The weather seems to (or rather i am sure it does) have an undue effect on me which in its entirety i am yet to figure out.

Of sportshoes n stuff

I dont wear sports shoes anymore. I used to, in the past, but do not anymore. Not since i outgrew the pair i had. It was my favourite pair. The new ones never matched up to my expectations anyways. But somewhere between the time i outgrew my old pair and realised that i dont wear sports shoes anymore, maybe sometime during this era, is probably when i lost all my connections too. I no longer seem to fit in the regular flow of life. I am that outcast who struggles to hold on to the frail ends of the survival instincts but somehow my grip loosens every passing minute and it wouldnt be long before i would be drifted away by a passing whiff of breeze to nowhere. And i morbidly await the end.
