POEM: 29

The frost upon my window
Like that on your soul
Is something I don't feel
Dressed up for heartbreak
Can I shed my skin?
And let the wind sink in
Remind me of sixteen
With the world
And everything in between
In my palm
And we knew no harm

Meet the lives we never knew
Nooses to the willow
Beat the strives of all we choose
Roses for the heirloom

She got up to leave. “Excuse me” the voice called out. "Where is the owner goddammit?" She turns around only to catch a glimpse of herself in the mirror. My oh my! She looked ready and dressed...

RANT !!!

Are your thoughts a privilege? A necessity? An escape? Or just for namesake? Arguments and debates do not ensure intelligence. It's easy to get lost just as it is easy to preach. It's easy to dream as it is easy to just "exist". We all may wish to challenge the norms, theories, ideologies and even facts but never leave out practicality of the basis that you form along the way. Wouldn't it be awesome if logic and revelations were genetic...a passover through generations of sor ts. But the essence of your thoughts will always take time. We can choose to feed our wanderlust but a void will always be there as reason creeps up your spine like those gentle tendrils of a wallclimber that toughens its grip with time...We talk about the universe and the vast possibilities of it...a fairy tale of sorts...a research paper for modern physics...a marvel for astronomy and logy..out of bounds for those making daily ends meet...under a constantly evolving core..its only perspec...
