Travelers Lament
They say
travel makes us grow and learn new things . As much as that is true , it also
makes us yearn for the things that were . When you see a thousand year old fort
standing strong even after the infinite ravages of time and after facing the
savages of the invading hoarded, you wonder. You wonder why is it that objects
we build last a thousand years but the love we build doesn’t even survive a
lifetime. Just as Optimus sends his message among the stars, this message I
send to one I loved and lost. All us joy yet lost. I would still love to build
a lifetime with you. Forgive this selfish but repentant man and give him
another chance. Lest he lose his mind and heart to a love he could never have
A Little Girls Question
A little girl
once asked her father, a pilot who was fond of trekking .
Why? Why do u
do it? You run out of breath quite a lot you get hurt whenever you slip and
left with quite a bit of pain for a few days after. Why even do it. The view
from your’ cockpit must be much much better.
The pilot
smiles and replies, but my love you forgot the most important thing of all.
What?
That I
conquered a mountain with patience and persistence. And you and I can both be proud that even a mountain could
stop your father
A Revolutionaries Response
The man
standing with a noose around his neck had a serene smile playing on his lips.
The reporter
across the yard shouts “Was it all worth it? Is it worth dying at 23?
He beams and
says “To die for what I love? And that too at my age? I lived for my country ,
her freedom and am dying for her. Absolutely and if I could I would beg god to
give me a thousand loves to live the same life a thousand times over so that I
may live in service if my mother and if needed die for her in her arms.”
The lever was
pulled and a life was taken but the words on paper the next day created a
hundred new revolutionaries and inspired a thousand new patriots.
Ghost Ship
A ghost ship
they call it naught a reason.
Those meant to
guide and care are present not.
Destined to
drift to every whim of the ocean turbulent
Never to rest
but toss about, from wave to wave rolling under the mast
To crash upon
an unknown shore or drown in a watery shoal
Only death
awaits the ghostly ship, just like a heart abandoned by, for those it lives
Icarus and Ulleyses
My love
Chasing the
sun across the emerald sea
Is a dream
for us and for many
But make
remember that
Icarus burnt
his wings getting too close and
Ulysses had
to endure mortal agony just to live through one small sea
Octogenarian Wisdom
I love her
with all my heart, but I now don’t know what to do said the twenty and three
year old
But my son isn’t
that all you need asked the octogenarian grandfather
Looking at
his grandson’s face he continued
A Promise of Nothings
Let’s go
hunting my love he said holding her close
But what for
? We have everything we need she asked
For
everything and nothing
For the
nothings that I can promise you and the everything I can give you he replied
pulling her close
