BLISS

Last night I experienced bliss after a long, long time. The weather gods were surely having a party. There I sat under the gray sky witnessing the wind caressing the flora ever so slyly. Looked up and saw a solitary star and fell into a reverie. Just then the song ‘Stuck in my Heart’ (by C21) played on my mp3 player and it felt like I was serenading YOU (Little red riding hoods is what I called us then).

Can't you tell you've been all over me like a spell - I know
I never wanna let you go
Can't you see you've been changing the world around me
If you hold me close enough I can whisper you the words
If the distance is to far I can't do nothing, cuz
You are stuck in my heart and we can go anywhere
whatever the reason you are so stuck in my heart like counting a million stars, for that many reasons you are
Can't deny since I met you that day I've been blind - to see
Now I wanna know for real
Inside me I'm afraid to wake up from a dream - and see
It never really happen to me
You are....like a dream so deep inside of me
You are......the reason that I never sleep
You are......stuck in my heart
I will never let you go


Glad that the feeling over-spilled to start of a brand new day today (not the best of days to wear a suit with a chiffon chunni/dupatta/stoll though). As I neared the end of my commute to the center, the song Angel (by Sarah McLachlan) automatically spilled out.

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance, for a break that would make it okay
there's always one reason to feel not good enough and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins let me be empty and weightless and maybeI'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of an angel, fly away from here from this dark cold ho(s)tel room and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort there
So tired of the straight line and everywhere you turn, there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lie that you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference escaping one last time
It's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
You're in the arms of the angel, may you find some comfort here.


Finally, here’s a poem to sum up how I feel about my present ecosystem.

CONVICTION

This world’s gone to the dogs, they say

It’s an unhappy land I know
To be here’s to fret and fume, they say
It’s diseased, stale and putrid I know.

Run, scoot to save your skin, they say
This is no place for grace and glow
A bin, a cesspool, a stagnant scum
Just move out now, before the gale.

There’s no future here, they say
So just fly to your land of dreams
There’s no time to lose, they say
So ready, steady run and go.

This land’s not for the decent souls, they say
But, there’s no place like this I claim
Who knows what the unknown may be
This I know and all I need to know

Go where there’s your new bright morrow
This I love with its stink and slime
This has harboured my yesterdays
And here I’ll find my new tomorrow.
