A writer’s plea: It’s what that lies within

Leave a comment

Need no sympathy or pity; It’s all about a ear to our story, Music to our beats, Heart that bleeds For the words that fall Off our fingers onto pitch black! Stark white churning memories within; And if not this Then just a simple thought that springs within, Small bubbles of joy that burst Leaving […]

A writer’s plea: It’s what that lies within

Into Oblivion

Leave a comment

Fencing my thoughts away
into oblivion,
I let myself percolate into the universe.
Wrapped snugly under the blanket
of stars that lit the magnificent night sky.
Fencing my thoughts away
into oblivion,
I let myself graze the blades of grass–
that cautiously held the drops of dew
From falling onto my foreign skin.
Fencing my thoughts away
into oblivion,
I let myself muse over the infinite stretch–
of sea that ceases to contain within
the boundaries drawn by man.
Fencing my thoughts away
into oblivion,
I let myself crawl over the soft earth-
that absorbed all the negative within
leaving space for the
intertwined roots of love & joy
To deepen down & touch the soul;
That fell short of tender, love and care.
Fencing my thoughts away
into oblivion,
I let the divine knowledge quench-
the thirst of roots that grew deeper
To unite the soul with it’s creator.
Fencing my thoughts away
into oblivion,
I let myself abide by the energy-
that birthed within & around
to live a life with the sole purpose
of being one with the divine.

    This moment divine

    I would love to sit by the sea,
    warm waves fading my imprint-
    On sands of time.
    Leaving ridges of sand behind
    for me to stumble across & fall,
    into a sea of mystic blue!
    I would love to graze the goosebumps
    on my arm after cool breeze blows;
    Leaving me mesmerized by the chills
    that crawl up my spine.
    I would love to gaze at the stars at night
    and connect the dots to land upon
    the constellation of my life.
    I would love to feel the divinity percolating
    within, erasing redundant thoughts &
    persuading me to open myself to live-
    A life with joy in my heart & love in my soul.
    I would love to lie here in the present-
    in this moment divine.

    LET’S TALK: MY NEGATIVE ATTRIBUTE

    Leave a comment

    I mostly write poems to express myself, but I would like to write my feelings down and this time I choose to write it here at word press. Well, I believe in optimism and prefer writing positive things rather than concentrating on the negativity! But I wouldn’t lie that I have not touched the dark areas that exists in everybody’s life at some point or other while jotting down a poem or a #FROM MY DIARY posts or #MY THOUGHTS posts. So, here I am, and by now you all would have noticed that I am having a hard time writing things straight forward; kindly bear with me and my shenanigans! 

    Ahh, I’m finally done procrastinating and here I am actually writing about it. My mother often complains that I don’t face situations as it is, I prefer dealing with it at a later date, mostly when things get out of hands. I have denied this to her and to anyone who mentions that I prefer or rather love to postpone things or dealing with things; oh don’t you think that I am lazy or I don’t like working my ass off. That ain’t true my friend, I love working as hard as it gets and give my best to whatever has been allotted to me or I choose to do it myself! But, now it’s high time that I realize that procrastination is the worst attribute to possess and I would very much like to work at it and likely so face the situation then and there. 

    IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?! Well no point in thinking ahead right? Talking about procrastination, things I have done so far that reflects this very attribute are (yeah I’m daring enough to list it out here):

    1. Ignored swelling over my knee joint (recent most, I am still having a swelling over my knee which is secondary to the another negative attribute I possess which I shall share in my next post of Negative Attributes, let’s make it a series then, what say? Do I hear, “Yay” or Nay”? )
    2. Ignored pain in my wrist joint (diagnosed with Tenosynovitis of right wrist and well, this I alone can’t be blamed for not getting appropriately treated for this, as I am lactating and the treatment advised by an Orthopedic was complete immobilization (wearing forearm splint 24×7) of the wrist for 3-4 weeks and perhaps casting was another option for the same which definitely would have been difficult as I have a small baby with me. So it was basically not an option, but I did wear the splint during office hours (uhh, I don’t have an office as I am a final year postgrad pursuing MD in Community Medicine). 
    3. I try to push everything, even my work at college, I tend to keep everything for the end and then on the final day I freak out and pull an all night-er, which is not that feasible given the current situation.
    4. I have listed a few and there are a lot more instances where I prefer to postpone or try to sleep it off, as if its a headache or a hangover. Sadly, that’s not the case.

    Now, I guess I would like to change this attitude, and would love to reform myself. Any supporters out there? who may have faced similar issues and end up reacting the same way as I do then do write to me in the comment section. Would love to get in touch and may be try to figure how to get rid of the procrastinating habit and face everything on my plate.

    That’s all for today!

    Thank you for hearing me out.

     

    Happy Holidays!

    Love,

    Dear starry skies

    Do you feel it too?
    The thrill that I feel
    when I look at you;
    I’m astounded by-
    the power you have over me!
    Oh dear starry skies,
    I stare at you Starry-eyed
    pulled in by your magnificence.
    Oh dear starry skies,
    You embellish the beautiful night sky-
    While the lunar light falls short
    of the charisma that you carry through!
