Returning the kings

The lights were out
I sat by the window
peering into the dark rain
Today was the ceremony

The pelting cold drops,
they were the orchestra
beating down hard on the roofs
and stones and leaves

Steadily down on they beat,
they were natural and the best
the wind rustling,carried the tune,
stopped suddenly

Hush!Here they come,
there the thunderous roll!
It grew louder,drew closer
the breeze,colder,tenser.

It was no thunder but
the tremendous wheels
treading the heavenly path
the royal chariots were passing by.

High above pure silver struck!
The sky flashed so bright
like fireworks, the beautiful lights
announced the kings' arrival

The clap of the thunder
the cheerful lights
More chariots
and the enchanting music

Tonight the kings
will be sent back from heaven
they are on their way
the true eternal leaders

The breeze wound through
through the trees
through the window
He found me

A single puff and he
swept the wonder off my face
He stroked my hair
"There, there.."

But the chariots
i protested.I heard them!
I saw it!the illumination!
The breeze replied.
'or your imagination'.

He knew I was aware
about the kings
So he lingered
breathing a strange lullaby
till i had forgotten and fallen asleep


I find poetry very disturbing.It means one thing to one person ans something totally diffrent to another.Poetry is like an abstract painting. The artist knows exactly what he is doing when he's doing it. The rest is for the world to interpret and they never seem to get it exactly as he felt it.

bored to the core

I'M BORED!!!!!I have done everything( figuratively ):watched TV,listened to a CD twice...ate..checked facebook..orkut..roamed around the house for no particular reason...called mom..went next door..There aren't enough things to do to beat boredom..I am having exams right now..Like always i seem to have a lot of time for everything during exams,not that i have done with revision..I'm too relaxed about it...I don't know why.I'm not the brightest or fastest in class. In fact I'm really slow(in both ways).A simple math problem would have my brains smoking over it for hours.And when someone shows me how to do it I feel stupid and angry at myself.I confess,there are times when everyone seems to have understood something new and i haven't I am on the verge of tears.I get really angry with myself when I don't understand things as easily as others do.Why don't i ever see the straightest and easiest way to things?!? I came across this phrase "how glorio...

the riGht to arroganCe

Of all human traits I find arrogance most interesting. I believe there are two sides to it. There is plain unworthy arrogance and there is reasonable justified arrogance. Sometimes I'm drawn to arrogant people. To those who are really good at what they do and know it themselves too. Some call it being over-confident.Some call it sheer arrogance. I too call it arrogance sometimes.With a bitten lip and a grudging smile. Why do you secretly admire that arrogant son of a bitch?Simply put , because he's so AWESOME!~ *droool*. Why do you seem to overlook the fact that he nevertheless is arrogant. Because arrogance becomes an attribute to the person (though I always make it point to keep that to myself). I don't encourage arrogance but I don't want to criticize it either.Sometimes arrogance provides what humility does in terms of inspiration. Humility is a good thing.Being modest and not boastful, yes I do respect such people.But put both kinds on the counter and ...

Cheater Peter Pumpkin Eater

t’s always a little depressing that the smarter guy grabs the glory everywhere, be it at school or at workplace. We resort to all sorts of things to beat the smart guy. The little green monster takes over and makes us do either of the following. We work harder and score better, or simply continue envying and do nothing about it or the worst, cheat. Once after a particularly tough Maths exam I came home and dialled my sister seeking solace. She told something she had read somewhere. Every human brain has the same capacity. The smart people just keep theirs warm and working. I found this quite inspiring and ever since lessened the number of times I call myself stupid. Even when I score low at school I feel guilty for not having put enough effort but I also feel quite happy about the fact that what I have scored is with me and my brains alone. The conscience centre in my head works better than most people I believe or else I would have virtually been suffocated by wrong doings. We used...
