An idea, a thought, an anecdote, a story or a poem a day!

All the colours that the Rainbow had  now in the grass are found Wild weeds, growing like fire,  yellow, violet, pink, white and blue The rainbow colours  they are leaking the sky is fading

  Just another bloody ego war! not about honour, land or principles! Why did you want it you knew what it will give you regrets, repulsion! You knew it was not the answer, but you fooled your own self and us! It’s not a loss, for only the poor children, but  no one wins a war! Feeling sick in the stomach today, just as I had felt when the war on terror was declared in 2003.

 Fibre mere house shoelace assume AS the troops bend down to tie up their shoelaces and the houses raise the alarm and their walls assuming the finale. Shutting my windows down,  and sealing the doors, for a blackout I wish it were a mere war of guns and bombs at least the bodies, and the ruins would have been left! But when the very fibre of this warfare is words,  commands and slurs What disaster awaits us? 

  I kept my eyes shut,  when they took it down,  But, I still see it right there  on that corner of the street, tall, majestic, beautiful  happy and gay  standing erect,  with a grand canopy  different shades of greenish grey*  a few squirrels,  and the birds  in its branches,  all twigs, leaves,  and feathers, nesting, nestling, as that’s where lived they, and the rows of ants, and wasps keeping their  nests safe,  carrying  bark and brown clay. Its shade a haven for  those who walked the way Its beauty, a balm for the eyes after a hot summer day, and the breeze, light, and fresh, though, heavy with the fragrance lemony laden, reaching, everyone close and far away its fruit, and the blossoms,  oozing, colour, honey, and nectar,  ah, what a display! Its bark, dripping oils and its gum, manna for medicine,  and that’s what  we’ve just driven away. As in its place now stands the road sign,  ‘No standing, only resident parking’! Yes, it’s been gone for a while now, taken down for a valid

  The shadow lane There were no words to express how I felt at this betrayal of my faith Actually words were there, and I did shout, but something remained choked into my throat, I could’ve, but I didn’t spit it out! Because, if I had, and said it all, the words might have broken a lot yes, the sacred ties of relations, were among them, it was too high a stake that I dared not take! we carry them, buried in heart, and inside, they remained dormant, like the seeds of a bitter harvest nourished by my silent tears and warmed by my sunny smiles!! In this optimum condition my secret grew to flourish later and there on the right side of my breast a bunch of lies started to flower outside me!! I stood in front of a mirror flourishing my flawless body for one last time, before putting my dreams to bed locked in the cupboard, on its highest shelf, And I saw my fleeting days of youth gone with a whiff of a cruel wind that blew over so

 Yes, I don’t want your love nor you any more.  You, who has used my emotions,  abused my devotion,  you have always been  attentive, or absent  tender or cruel when you wished sometimes careless and sometimes careful,  when it suited you. And it is ok with me now, as I realise that you never loved me nor wanted me, or needed me,  your love was just in response to my love something reactive, a reflection of my own feelings which finally got distorted, in you,  they were never proactive like mine. I have found something more than my love for you, I love myself, and am trying to love my heart that has been  more than anything that you could ever be.  We have been together always have loved together, laughed together, dreamt together and consoled each other when we were broken and when emotions were all spent in loving you we have filled each other again with love, tears and hope! It is me, yes, I love myself! 

  My you learning to walk, standing on my two feet,  not scared of running, to flying high You were there!  No matter what was said, no matter what was done, no matter what I heard You were there I still felt hopeful that all will be right!  My faith in you,  that you are there,  and you are me,  oh my you!
