The Surface and Beyond

There were times before when I felt like being swallowed by a tidal wave. Despite all emotions it may had evoked from me, I found comfort in it.

It was comforting that I was too overwhelmed and such intense feelings are meant to be felt. They make life interesting.

I couldn't imagine living a life with nothing happening at all. Of course it would be too exagerrated to say nothing is happening at all. What I am pertaining to is a life where everyday is like yesterday and yesterday was like the other day and so on. What would that kind of life make of us?

I would be lying if I say my life had always been interesting. It isn't. Like you, I live a life as flat as a piece of slate. But there are fascinating intervals, like cracks on a smooth surface. It is during these intervals that I say to myself, "How sweet it is to live."

Dull and ordinary life is lethal for me. But I know I have a responsibility and an option to change that. I cannot simply switch to the extraordinary way of living because that is too unfair. It's like opting out, like choosing the life I had been dreaming of just because I couldn't handle the ordinary.

So I will bring the extraordinary to the ordinary. This is the only way to totally transform such life.

Thus, I bring you into a world where things might be prosaic, but still profound.

But this abomination is a disease Incessantly spreading with vile and greedy claws And madness and death would have been better Than to drown in foul waters of Eros. What sort of devilry has planted this seed of corruption? Of flesh unyielding to all sorts of self- possession And of that shrill sound of imaginary bells All die down to metaphysical elation. Obscene images float into the realm of thoughts Excite one's twitching and wimpish heart For a promise of dear beloved Heaven- Fraud! Heaven made of fiddles and swindles. Of the gradual fictitious morphine and the abhorrent hedonism Of the silent screams and the rush of blood Of the dilation of the eyes and the...

These Words

You were like a flower in a dream- Perfect in its almost loathsome beauty, An enchanting supernova An intoxicating euphoria. But now you are the same flower Ruined by the cruelty and grandeur of reality A grotesque black hole And a sore sobriety. The mere sight of you is too painful for me But then I am too drunk with these words.

The Evil Hour

When this wretched Force quenches my smile, When courage is frail and strength is futile, May the Truth I hold dearest receive me. When Evil's fatal grasp is near And what reigns is deep, dark fear May the Truth I hold dearest receive me. When all I have are feeble icy breaths And all I see is the face of Death, May the Truth I hold dearest receive me.
