You hum, meaninglessly, tunelessly, almost like a newborn, making me laugh. You sleep like you don't have a worry in the world. And then, you wake up, and start off again, on your rigorous, ambitious efforts to chase your dreams. There is a difference in the way our pens move, I write sonnets, and you, solve sums; i read poetry, and you business; i dream beaches and flowers, you dream companies and cars. In my world of dimensionless literature, you are a muggle. And I love you, hence and inspite.

I have been through a lot lately. Things that made me question some of the basics of my life. As of now, the storm has passed, but I dread it! Pieces of life are difficult to connect back once scattered. A gap, a patchwork is always left behind.

Poetry etcetera..

I have been reading a lot of poetry this weekend. They are my companions for solitude, food for the soul. I miss school days when everyday I read or wrote something new; however simple, it helped me learn, and grow. I wish to keep growing, I am scared of stagnancy. And so, with you as witness, I promise myself a poem/story a day. As of now, I am humming the lines of a song I was taught as a little girl:

This is my Father's world,   

and to my listening ears   

all nature sings, 

and round me rings   

the music of the spheres.    

This is my Father's world:    

I rest me in the thought   

of rocks and trees, 

of skies and seas;   

his hand the wonders wrought.   

This is my Father's world,   

the birds their carols raise,   

the morning light, the lily white,   

declare their maker's praise.    

This is my Father's world:    

he shines in all that's fair;   

in the rustling grass I hear him pass;   

he speaks to me everywhere.   

This is my Father's world.    

O let me ne'er forget   

that though the wrong seems oft so strong,   

God is the ruler yet.    

This is my Father's world:    

why should my heart be sad?    

The Lord is King; let the heavens ring!    

God reigns; let the earth be glad! 

The tune of this song is divine, it fills your senses. Here you are:

There are so many other songs that I remember by heart but don't find them online. If I manage to find them someday, I'll be over the moon, and definitely share them with you!

Lots of love!

Moonlit Night

I slip out of bed
to feel wholly
the wind that has been trying to
reach me in parts
through the half open window
The moon has a tinge of yellow
just like the pages of my diary
And as I breathe in the moonlit summer night,
I watch you, sleeping peacefully
with the moonlight on your face.
I look at the plants we planted
Its the season of bloom-
little white flowers in the white moonlight
like the white dress you gifted me
like the white of my love
and the white of my soul
Its not often that such a night
happens in this city
When all around is full of calm
and love...

He is taking an exam today...aspiring for an additional qualification. And, boy, am I nervous!

He's been studying for this exam for months, and we have both given up on a lot of 'going-outs' and 'long drives'. I so hope he makes it! Because, frankly, I've never seen anyone work so hard!

Life's Good :)

It was a good and fruitful day at work. I feel a rush of energy in me today that I need to expend, preferably in a constructive way! :) I packed a lot of activities in the day, and still don't seem to be able to go to bed!

By the way, dear readers(if there are any), :)

Sorry for the long sabbatical. I had forgotten my password! Yes, I had! And it suddenly came back to me now :)

Life is so unstable, ever-changing! Everyday, you are a new person! Everyday, there is a new thought to occupy your head. Have you ever noticed that sometimes, some things obsess you enough to steal your slumber, and then, they stop mattering the next morning? :)

My career path is much clearer to me now. I feel more focused and responsible, and most importantly, more disciplined! I am thankful to have found the inspiration and the love of my boyfriend. Life's fast, confusing, tough, but its still good! :)

Sweet Solitude

I am all to myself this weekend, and I am looking forward to my company :)

Its been long since I wrote a poem :) I plan to let my pen run wild, and write something that surpasses all that I have written before.

I just read the 'Come Back' post, and it brought a smile to my face, I am in the state of waiting again, with just the same feelings. Over time, our love has been seasoned, with some fights, some compromises, some tears. But at the basic level, it remains the same, and I am thankful, really thankful for that.

As a little girl, I dreamt of having lots of travel in my life, and I have been doing just that lately, with my very sweet and fun, sometimes paranoid, companion :) There is something about seashores, the whole beauty of the view, the smell of the sea, the touch of the breeze and the sand, and the taste of salt; they fill my heart, and I lose myself to the vastness, which speaks of the unimaginable depth and beauty of the higher power. The sea leaves me speechless, making me long for some secret that I probably already know.
