  • CRYPTIC DILEMMA

     

    I begged whole night

    thinking

    how much I need to cry,

    to create a flow

    to carry his hopes

    from asylum of dead desires

    to elysian of lively passions.

    I begged whole night

    telling him

    I am a very weak soul

    for he sees my vitality of tears

    and not frailty of my abundant smile.

    I begged whole night

    making him to realize

    how it feels

    to see melting of snow….

    how it feels when

    tears drop without a reason….

    I begged whole night

    till day dawned with cloud

    till my eyes dried without lashes

    till my lips stitched with umbilical cord

    till my mouth is puffed with ashes…….

    I begged and I crawled

    into his lap only for shelter….

    covering my body and soul

    meditatively with cushion of a thought

    - May be the artist of mannequin

    knows better about her

    rather than

    what mannequin thinks about herself.

    Hello young one


    the emotionality and strength of your words made me weak, made me feel


    oh so human and weak. I think we all need to cry in the dark of the night


    we all take that alone time with the one who is larger and greater than life


    it'self and we are all weak when we want to be strong.


    I was lost in your longing words.....I *smile* thank you dear one.....

    It's just one of those days...

    I spent a lone sad night once with someone who begged on their knees for me to hear the things you just wrote..I saw..and heard'
    I understood and yet............................I think they never believed I understood their pain...I did...I'm not sure they could care about
    my pain in the midst of theirs....but I heard them..knew...felt..and loved them as they are.
