Tourmente

All I heard was a silence,

As the phone line went dead

So many angry words spoken,

So many true words, left unsaid

As the shock wore off,

I called you again and again

But each time, I just heard a silence,

I lost my chance, to explain

Trying to blink back a tear,

With my head bowed

I found my way outside,

Through the surrounding crowd

When a cool breeze touched me,

I lifted my head up to see

Black storm clouds and lightnings, 

As the heavens agreed with me

I stood there for a long time,

Remembering each word we'd said

Wondering what had led us here,

What there would be ahead

I felt so cold and alone,

All I saw was your beautiful face

As I closed my eyes,

And dreamed of your warm embrace

As I climbed up onto the bed

Body drenched from the rain,

Eyes tired from the tears,

Oblivion I sought desperately, to stop the pain

I woke up suddenly,

To the sound of the phone ringing

My head ached, as my heart beat faster

Trying to see the number, with my eyes stinging

I picked up the phone,

Heart singing, because it was you 

Last night vanished as you softly said those words,  

And I whispered back, I love you too

The weather here just turned awesome! Dark clouds, lightning, thunder, cool breeze...all the things I dream about :) I was standing on the roof, taking in the beauty of it all, and just thinking about some stuff when I felt the need to write...so, this happened. Hope you all liked it. It's been a while since I wrote something this long.
Tourmente means storm or turmoil in French :)

Both the beautiful pics are from Google this time...spent a long time trying to find the right ones.
Good night everyone! May the beautiful night give you lovely dreams :)

Alone...55Fiction#4

Why didn't the wind take me with it?

Why was I left behind? Still. Alone.

There's nothing but calm around me,

In the middle of nowhere, with no one my own

I wait for so long,

On this path with stones and dust

I feel myself grow weak,

I'll see my end, if I must

Painted in White

Wasn't vanilla the official favorite flavor before hundreds of new ones came thundering in?

The color white: It reminds you of a time gone by, of not an in-your-face beauty but a subtle one, a more gentler one...soft, angelic, pure, and somehow so exotic and eternal. And when it mixes with the colors of nature, breathtaking is what you get...

"White...is not a mere absence of colour; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black...God paints in many colours; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white." 

- G. K. Chesterton

Okay, so I'm back! Exams finally over, yay! :) I've gone a bit rusty and I'll spew out some larger posts soon (I hope), but this is just to let everyone know, I'm officially back in :)

The beautiful pic above, of the flowers (whose identity I could not find except that it grew on onion plants in someone's backyard :D) has been taken by Leo (http://facebook.com/imchandu/photos, http://clicksclub.weebly.com) who let me caption it and allowed me to use it :) Thanks a lot! Looking forward to doing business with you in future too...just keep clicking lovely pics :)

Okay guys, see you soon! Getting back to watching Castle...it's got me officially hooked! :D 

Falling

I feel my self falling,

I know nothing will stop me,

Nothing will break my fall

And I wonder, as I near my end

What was the purpose of my existence?

Why did He send me here, if He didn't want me to live?

Why am I only given moments, while others get a lifetime?

Why is it, that I never got a chance?

And as I become one with the earth, I see everything,

Because of me, bees hum again, and flowers smile,

Lovers dance, and children laugh

The world sees a beautiful morning

I know now, the purpose of my existence, and I let go

I was born so that my death could give life, to countless others...

Happy Earth Day!

Hey Everyone! Wrote this one on a whim, 'cause I saw loads of these beautiful pictures and I just wanted to share them. Well before that,  I was wondering, when are the rains going to come?! And I thought about the first raindrop & what would I think if I were that raindrop - just born, falling from heaven straight for the earth? That'd be it. The fall would be my entire life...and my end would bring such a change in the earth, such beauty, that I'd know longer question my fate...

Not all photos are due to Google this time :D

Two of them are very special and have been taken by my friends: The beautiful pic of the bumblebee is by Shekhar Sahu (https://www.facebook.com/ShekharSPhotography) and the other lovely pic of the beautiful rain-kissed pink flower is by R. Yuvashree (http://uv-yura.blogspot.in/).

Thanks a lot, guys! :)

Hope you all liked it...A very happy earth day. Just take a moment to breathe and look around, you'll find beauty everywhere :)

"The poetry of earth is never dead" 

                                   -John Keats

If Only

If only,

I could take back my words,

I'd say the right ones, and tell you,

How much you mean to me

If only,

I had another chance,

I'd spend each day of my life,

Making up, for every mistake, I made

If only,

I could stop time, for a moment,

I'd take that moment,

And live a lifetime with you

If only,

I could look at you once,

I'd remember each expression,

Each move that you make

If only,

I could hold your hand,

I would never let it go,

I'd be by your side, forever

If only,

I could take you in my arms,

I would feel alive again,

I'd find a reason to live

If only,

I could kiss your lips,

I would breathe again,

And, my soul would rejoice

If only,

I could spend my life with you,

I would be complete,

And, there would be no regrets

If only,

You would say yes,

I'd give you every happiness,

I'd make all your dreams come true,

I'd make you my world, my life

Each breath I'd take, would be for you

If only,

You would love me,

I'd be there in the end

I'd make every thing real, 

I'd be your best friend

I would love you,

More than there are stars in the sky,

More than the darkness of night, 

More than the vastness of space,

More than the heat, a fire could ignite

....................................................................................................................................................................

This one came to me suddenly, and I wrote it down in such a short time, which is very unusual for me because usually, it takes ages. The title and some of the feelings I felt while writing this down, came from the movie "If  Only". I found the movie beautiful, about second chances and, love and, mistakes...and regrets.

And, these lines from the song, "If Tomorrow Never Comes", by Ronan Keating, again, got all my emotions fired up!

"I made a promise to myself,

 To say each day, how much she means to me

 And avoid that circumstance,

 Where there's no second chance, to tell her how I feel

 If tomorrow never comes..."

Okay, so I hope you all liked it :) Good night guys. Sleep tight :)

The Answer (Guest Entry)

Here's a reply from my Dad...for the last  post. You're truly amazing Dad :* I love you so much :*

I too look at myself, in the mirror,

And sometimes, see a stranger there

I thought I knew, all the ropes, all the roads,

Now some times, I see a danger there

No, it’s not a writer’s block,

It’s just a blank wall, that blocks my vision

My eyes are wide open,

But they just seem, to stare into oblivion

Words are just no more my friends,

So they are not easy, to be spoken, or written

It’s not that I don’t want to say something,

It’s just that, all the right words are hidden

It’s just a phase I’m going through, right now,

I thought, I understood love & life, but I’m confused

There’s so much contradiction, so many conflicts

So much is going on in my world, it keeps me amused

You say, my words cast a spell,

That they were an inspiration, for you

I’m sorry if I disappointed you, my girl,

I promise to rise above this situation, for you

'Cause if you know me, you’ll know I’m a fighter,

With two negatives, I love to make a positive

Yes, you’ve given me a challenge, saying,

Not to leave the page blank, and to try to be creative

See, I've managed to pick up the courage,

And write these lines, only FOR YOU

From the blanks, I've tried to join the dots

With some words, I could find only for you

THANK YOU SWEETY,

YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION, YOU KNOW

YOU WILL HELP ME,

IN MY DESPERATION, OF THIS I’M SURE

....................................................................................................................................................................

Thank you, Dad. I loved this post. This is what I was talking about. You words are amazing, because you are too. I knew you'd bounce back, I've always known :*

An Inspiration

I look at you, and wonder,

What are you waiting for?

What do you need?

About what, are you not sure?

Why do you falter?

What is it, that stops you?

Which tide is it,

That you wish, to swim through?

I saw a world so different,

Through your eyes

A tear turned to laughter,

A sunset, to sunrise

Now, why is it,

That you deny me

Of words of love and romance,

Those of winds, and the sea?

I crave to hear the words,

That you once weaved, out of little

Nothing else could give me,

The joy, they would bring

What is it, that inspires you?

I know not, what is wrong

I write now, to make you understand,

What I had known, all along

Your words cast a spell,

They're an inspiration to me,

If that light inside you, fades away,

So will the world, I love to see 

....................................................................................................................................................................

This post was written on a whim...for someone who really should know how good he is...my Dad :* I know it's not a writer's block that's stopping you from writing, please don't stop...I hope you find this post an inspiration, maybe just in a way that you can write me a reply to it?

You're amazing at this, Dad, and I can't wait to read your words, weaved into beautiful poetry or writing, something that takes me into another world altogether, something that inspires me...

I love you, do it for me please :* 

Don't leave that page blank,

Fill it with your thoughts

Pick up that pen now,

Let's start joining the dots

:)
