Random thoughts-1

When I started this blog, I had no idea where I was heading or what it is that I wanted to blog about. Slowly, over the past few months it has taken shape mainly into a poetry blog. No idea how that happened! I know that my poetry isn't all that great but I have somehow come to love this mode of expression. I have this insane urge to make the lines rhyme even though I know that good poetry doesn't have to... That's a part of my obsessive personality I guess. :)


I have also read some wonderful posts over the last few months. Maybe I can never live up to them, but I'm enjoying the ride. :)

Hot air balloon

Sailing through the cotton clouds

Watching how raindrops are made

Sunlight streaming in my face

Golden yellow heat 

But I yearn for no shade.

In the abode of the stars and the rainbow

I drift mindlessly on a breezy afternoon..

No honking of the cars, no trilling of the phone

Yes, of course, I am in a hot air balloon!

I see nothing but vast landscapes

I hear nothing but the gushing wind

I feel nothing but the slanting sun rays

I taste nothing but the freedom to think!

Though I'm as alone as a pearl

in an oyster

I feel a connection, an unearthly bond

With every living being in this world

This is how it must feel like to be God!

Forgotten city

Once remembered, now forgotten

Lies buried an ancient civilization.

Surrounded by the water so aquamarine blue

Unseen by most, glanced by a few

A golden yellow fish darts in and out

of a mammoth building once sitting proud

atop the streets of a bustling city

Drowned by water and then by history..

Cruel are the hands of fate,

though the angry floods did abate.

Death pervaded in its awakening,

No hope left for any living being.

And so she lies this ancient civilization,

Craving to be found, this proud nation!

She yearns to tell all her story

of people from her land and all their glory.

Her wish is again in the dreaded grasp of fate

Sighing, her moment she anticipates....
