WORDS ARE NOT MERE WORDS

Words are at times a crucible.
Why jinx up words?
Just put them into a meaningful context
A world of meaning arises.
Nostalgia draws us back to the old words used n unused.
Surfacing all of a sudden into the present.
Dishing up moments of elation, hope and moments of testing too.
Instead of just slipping into gorges and mires.
Let us brave them as they come.

That Summer..............19 May -16 June,2013

The greatest disease on this Earth is the feeling of being unwanted.

The summer snooze brought in a nagging sonorous repetition of "unwanted".

The innocent antics of my nixie kept these tormenting thoughts at bay.

Her presence was like an Oasis in an arid zone.

The mirage of love..like and dislike played streaks of shadows in my mind.

Each time I turned to my rational mind there was a deadening echo of silence.

God how I restrained myself.

My ego just was a wispy affair.

A little awakening ones home is one's heart and heart.

I realised each second..how much I missed being here.

Embarrassment Galore

Embarrassment just made edgeways into my being that summer.
How I longed for that invisible cloak.
So that I could hide my ignominy and shame.
I kept up a pretence of calmness but each moment .
I was being dragged down ..lower n lower.

I bore all slights with total equanimity.
Passed through a testing time.
For a grand mother who had traveled miles to be with her daughter and grandchild.

Today I sit and thank the ones who invented the long distance correspondence.
Where exchanges are polite and formal.MAN can hardly see through the facade of hollowness.
This Planet...I must say has so many unwrapped mysteries ....
SHould I say my discoveries are on.......
