A bright tomorrow

This poem is by a very dear friend Venky..

Day passes by, and the night begins to fall …
Up in the sky, at dusk, a canvass of beauty begins to stall …
The stars of crimson skies and the moonlight shine,
They all say to you, things are gonna be fine …

Remember the times when we laughed together,
I am here to hold you, if bothers you even a feather.
Don’t lose heart or trust, coz in people still there is good,
I want you to be the same bold person, beside whom once I stood …

It’s a saying “life is too complicated”,
So heres one thing that I have implicated,
If you don’t understand why with you do things go wrong,
Just don’t think bout them and make yourself strong.

The waters are still calm, they don’t disturb you,
The birds are still beautiful, their shadows tell you,
The green grass yet dances trying to please you,
Don’t be disturbed, they are all trying to ease you …

Your sadness, glad would I be to borrow,
For I am here to share your sorrow,
The sun will set & so shall your sorrow,
For you shall have a BRIGHT TOMORROW.

Enjoy life when the time with you is here,
You never know, 2012s coming near, ☺
For anything that bothers you, have no fear …
You know, for you I am always here.

A dark night..

This place which once seemed like a happy place to be,
A place where I once used to sit with my friends,
watch the water flowing,
the green grass dancing at the rhythm of the wind,
The wonderful views of birds sometimes flying very close to the flowing water,
watching their shadows in the water as they fly,
where I once used to feel good when a nearby train passes by...
The place where I had enjoyed beautiful sunsets and conversations
and admired the paintings of nature on the canvas of the sky..

This place, once a wonderful place, now seems like just a place.
A place I now use,
to escape,
to find some loneliness,
Praying that the loneliness brings with it some peace.
Peace to something that is a silent destruction. Quite yet inexplicably destructive,
Happening inside of me...
Something that I don't even understand why it should be there.

The water does not make me feel calm anymore.
The birds don't seem beautiful anymore.
And the train passing by, just seems like a distraction.
Its noise wanting to force me out of my shell that I want to go into.

The sun sets, I still sit there.. Realizing how much I hate sunsets..
And the darkness that it brings with it,
coz I know, somehow I can live through the day, but not these dark nights.
This darkness, it takes me to paths I don't like to take..
Paths full of fears and insecurities,
Paths which are scary, paths which make me realize my inadequacies,
Paths which remind me of the people who were once so close and now so far.
These paths, they bring tears,
Tears which are otherwise hidden and buried safety in the heart.
I feel a little calm as they come out. They were wanting to come out since quite sometime now.
I feel blank.. No emotions, No thoughts.
Just a want.
A want to live in this feeling for as much as I can.
I feel ME.

My phone rings.
'Next time I should keep my phone at home', I remind myself as I take it out of my pocket.
My room-mate worries about me on the call.
I tell her I will be home in 10 minutes.
I gather myself. Tuck away the tears. Force a smile and take the way back home..
Praying that somehow the darkness goes away..
I try to give birth to new hopes..
Thinking, tomorrow the sun will rise again,
and take away the darkness.
But for now,
its just another dark night.
And this too shall pass..

If only.. Part II

There are many possible things that could have happened with Chris and Michelle. And most often than not life surprises us. So for now leaving it up to the readers to anticipate what happened with the two of them. You can put an happy ending or a sad one. And if you ask me, I will tell you 'happy endings' or 'sad endings' are 'our' perceptions about things anyways. To me what matters and what will matter is what happened to them years down the line. We shall see. :) :)
