The landscape of my sorrow

Stretches ahead of me

I wander the paths of unhappiness

Desolate and lost


Despair greets me at every turn

The aftermath an injection of pain

Its venom fills my body


Hope walks in the shadow of pain

Fragile like a flower

She might get crushed yet…

The hills were alive with the sounds of silence
I had to work hard to hear them
My urban ears unaccustomed
Laughter rang out - pure and crystal clear
Of birds and humans alike

Life crawled around us
A testimony to the beauty of nature
Red, blue, green - the colours intense and varied
In all shapes and sizes

Four days in a Paradise
Where man will never conquer the elements

The heart sings a new song

Unexpected happenings
Joy of conversation
My heart goes pitter patter
Destiny works in funny ways
She doesn't discriminate like we humans do....

Smile on face lingers
Doesn't seem to want to go away
Heart still goes pitter patter....

Oh man, something unexpectedly nice has happened. The words don't mean much..think I would call them nonsense words..But well works for me. :D

Rootless_Wanderer

Locked away in dark recesses yet the memory still lingers on

The love that died a slow death

It had bloomed like a sunflower in the spring sun

Survived years of autumns and winters

That one night destroyed it


They thought they would weather the storm

But this one blew them off course

Destroyed their moorings

Left them stranded dry and without the roof called love..


I know I know..its corny but the words would not stop :)

The Last Dance



Dancing, originally uploaded by Extra Medium.

For years, they had danced perfectly together
Timing, style and rhythm all got down to a tee
They used to shock bystanders
With the way their bodies moved in unison
Swaying to the music

When did the break happen?
A mis-step here and there
When did he start jiving and she waltzing?

Then came that one last time
She moved as if she was part of him
Eternal lovers playing out their parts
He stared into those deep brown eyes
Knowing that the end was in sight

They walked away from each other
Not looking back
A slight hesitation at the final step
Remembering all the years gone by

A Tale of Two Cities

This is dedicated to Sheri who inspired me to write this.

I found her as I wandered

Lost in the shadows of an alleyway

In her red ghaghra choli

She razzle dazzled

Her red and gold bangles

Shiny lil diamond stud on her nose

Her red bindi struck chords

In my yearning heart

Her shy eyes refused to meet my gaze

A mystery in the making


I found her as I meandered

In the night time

An avenue with no trees

Neon and bright lights surrounded me

She smouldered and struck a pose

Her little red dress showed off more than it should have

Her glossy black eyes promised nothing and everything

She met my gaze head on without faltering

Just being herself – bold and uncompromising

Summertime

Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry

One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll fly to the sky

I love this song. Makes me think about love, sex and life in that order :) Ella and Louis are crooning it right now in my ear and j'adore. Sigh.

Oh baby, don't you cry....sigh...
