am I jinxed : dramas of a hopeless mind

what start as a really beautiful day rarely stays so for me. Am I jinxed ? or am i just not meant to celebrate early ? The day was pretty awesome as per me when I skipped sleep for watching a tv show and then went for a long walk while talking to ym bestie. The morning was beautiful , the roads so green with falling leaves and the air fresh with hopes of a rainfall.

Having tea with my roomie and some beauty session later, I fell asleep only to be woken up by hunger pangs ! Fixed myself a decent bowl of porridge and having packed a yullilicious paneer veggie for dinner , I was sure the day gonna be just fine. After all it was Friday !

And then maybe the evil fairy caught em smiling. ’cause a few teary eyes intervals later , I have managed to have an arguement with a special friend , cried over my mother’s call , cursed myself endlessly and even prayed a bit to be blessed with a strong will power.

And yet , except my mother no one can understand how much my failures affect me. How much it breaks my dreams and hopes about myself , when week after week , I find no change in my situation.

Cheerin up others , I have now no more words left to console or encourage myself at times.

And when I was almost ready to get back ym smile , I get my appraisal letter with the poor rating intact.

Never before have I been so hopeless about my carreer and future , the way I get nowdays.

I know the change is in my hands. but how exactly I gonna get to make the change , is still left to see. No promises , just lot of expectations from self.

Wish me luck !

A man got to eat

It begins same way, “Lets keep this free of expectations”,
“does it really stay so ? “he mused aloud ,
“Even sex is an expectation in our affair I say”, he continued. “Where is this going?” she asked calmly.
“will you cook for me after we are done in bed ?” he shyly asked.

In Life’s journey

the roads pause
even if you do not;
round and round
the landmarks appear;
each experience lead to
same old thoughts;
midway or not -
its the point in life
we never realize
before it has passed
and we find a stranger
suddenly residing
within our heart and mind -
a new you,
prepared for
the new journey ahead…

Originally inspired by Musical Poetry Prompt : Gordon Lightfoot’s Don Quixote

Love and light

In his light
one finds the way
of glorified sacrifices,
of immortal history -
his love.

Elizabeth at Musical Notes : Poetry Prompt asked us to write a poem in 15 words or less , inspired after hearing the following song ” Joan of Arc” -

 

The song for em is a dialogue between god and her. And it literally moved me. I was in a trance sort. I heard it over and over. the metaphors , the voice , the music was just bang on !
And thats why it was so tough to write something that made sense after this heavy background ..

 

 

The long lasting affair

The first look
and she offerred -
to amuse and excite,
to shock and delight,
to seduce and distract
to be fantasy and fact;
to feed you in the day
and feed upon you in night;
to be shy when the need be,
else lie naked in the lights;
she went on singing so,
and how long could i hold,
destinies entwined,we live
sincerely following the legacy
of all book lovers and reading.

Independence day !

For the first time , I do not want to type in bold "Happy Independence Day" or smile about all that this nation of mine has to offer me. Not that it has done less for the citizens. It has provided us with a lot of meaningful resources and opportunities too. But what have we given it back ? What have I as a citizen done for the nation ? or even the part I live ?

Till I have a proud answer to that , I just wish each year adds glories to my country and not shame as i have seen in the last years ..

Bless you Inida(ns)
