Life As We Show It

Signal Fire By Snow Patrol

This song/video bring many nostalgic memories back and they feel so fresh as if it just happened yesterday.

In many ways, its more of a poetic expression then just song. Think About it.

Enjoy!

Well, this about sums it up. There were many ups and downs too, but i don’t need to bother you with all that stuff. I’m sure some of you may have had such experiences, i pray otherwise, but i’m sure,like me, you must have learned a thing or two. I never thought this would happen to me, such a movie cliche you see, but it did happen nonetheless. Don’t get me wrong, i am not criticizing this experience in any way. I am sad that my love life had to take such a course, but i thank God and Her for all the lover anyways.

P.S: I just had to get this out of my system and finally, i did. For those of you who read this post so far, thanks! And Don’t forget to share your Misery too because its like something that diminishes once we start sharing it.

Peace!

Life isn’t just a struggle,

Its also a mystery,

The way its sometimes unfolds,

Gives rise to a Great History

Page by Page it turns,

A new chapter is always unveiled,

Whats gonna be its ending,

Nobody, but you can reveal

As We Can’t light a bulb if its fused,

We Can’t use our mind if its bemused,

We Can’t consume something if not produced,

And We Can’t live happily if we are confused

Giving a purpose to life,

Should be one’s ultimate aim,

Rest of the world can wait,

Because your universe is what you create

Life is not mere existence,

Life is not just how we know it,

Life happens when we feel it,

Its also “Life As We Show It”

I wake up every morning,
With everything like the night before,
Though I expect it to be different,
But my expectations fails me like always.

It’s been days nay months,
Since I felt some happiness deep inside,
Happiness that would give me some hope,
Hope to go out there and feel bliss within.

There was a time when I was fearless,
Fearless of whatever the future holds,
Those were the days of joy,
Those were the days I was actually born.

I believe there’s still a reason,
Reason for which I look for,
I’m looking for it in the darkest corner,
Darkest corner of my heart and more.

Reason to survive,
Reason to hold on,
Reason to look towards the bright future,
And reason to expect only better for all.

Today I woke up like always,
But this time there was something different,
I’ve found the reason to carry on,
Atlast, it’s a new day and new beginning.

William Blake, a Poet and an Artist, was one of the largely unacknowledged artist of his era but now he is one of Britain’s most celebrated artist. He is known to be from the “Romantic Age” era and has composed many many beautiful pieces of art works( whether poems or visual art).

I’ve been a fan of his poetry lately and few of my favourites are, The Chimney Sweeper, The Little Black boy, The Divine Image, The Earths Answer, The Eternity and so on. I’ve written down a few of them below for your perusal. Not many poets have the power to attract and capture the fellow art lovers in their philosophical interpretations through the use of mere words in form of poetry but William Blake definitely has this skill.

Eternity
He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity’s sun rise.

A Divine Image
Cruelty has a human heart,
And Jealousy a human face;
Terror the human form divine,
And Secresy the human dress.

The human dress is forged iron,
The human form a fiery forge,
The human face a furnace sealed,
The human heart its hungry gorge.

Happy Writing!

Wine, Whiskey , Scotch or Beer,

Some are translucent, sparking or crystal clear,

*

Getting a bottle of Champaign,

Costs almost like a campaign.

*

Dinner with some Wine,

Shows that you are doing just fine.

*

Beer if had more than a pint or two,

One can solve any problem through and through.

*

Small quantity of good old Whiskey,

Even makes talking seem risky.

*

Few sips of some nice Scotch,

Takes your thinking up a notch.

*

Give me some tasty Rum,

I’ll even disco to the beats of drums

*

Go ahead have some Gin,

Checkout a mirror, you’ll see yourself Grin

*

Have some of these from time to time,

But making it a habit is a crime.

The day i first saw you,

It was love at first sight,

My heart just fluttered,

Like it was a bird’s first flight.

I knew you were with someone,

Of whom i didn’t approve,

But when i saw you were happy,

I was happy for you too.

The days turned to months,

And months turned to years,

But i couldn’t express my love to you,

Out of hopelessness & fear.

But one day your world went upside down,

That day i still remember,

Watching you crying somewhere,

My soul did nothing but tremble.

I could take it no more,

How could the world be so cruel,

Fire of my love became stronger,

Because the world just gave it more fuel.

At last i gathered some courage,

To speak out my love to you,

I woke up one whole night,

Just to prepare the words i’d say to you.

Next day i waited for you,

Fighting my urge to flee,

But the moment i saw to coming,

My captured soul was freed.

I slowly spoke to you,

Slipping some word here or there,

Just then i saw in your eyes,

Some beautiful memories it bears.

I decided right then,

I would make you my life,

If the all mighty so wished,

Someday i’ll make you my wife.

Again the days turned to weeks,

Weeks turned to months,

And the dreadful day came,

Our love just crumbled in all fronts.

We couldn’t stand the test,

The test of our fate,

Our love had to fall and drown,

In the world of misery & hate.

Now all those days are behind,

They are replaced by many years,

You disappeared into the dark shadows,

And i am left alone here.

I wont blame you ever,

I wont blame anyone else,

Because it was me who was weak,

Atleast that’s how i felt.

Now again you are with someone else,

It doesn’t matter if i approve,

But when i hear that you are happy,

My restless soul feel happy too.

I wish you all the luck,

And i wish you Happy Birthday too,

May God Bless you and you family,

May all the world’s happiness be with you.
