Dream Sequence

(Inspired by Inception :D)

As she sat with the moonlight reflected on the dark, deep waters, the splashing waves carried her into reverie. The sea no longer intended to make her complete when she sat on the shore.

She decided she had a decision to make. A decision, not from the heart, but from the head. It had been quite some time that she'd decided over matters from her heart based on raw emotions. It was about time she erased the bias and turned to her more rational faculties.

She had to let go of her past. She had to accept, that what was gone, was gone forever,never intending to come back. Yet, the more she tried to let go of it, the more entangled she seemed to get.

She caught a fistful of sand and held it tight. Then she observed the particles escaping from between her fingers. Just like her will power, she thought. The more she tried to control it, the more it turned evasive.

The sudden exaltation had resulted in her falling from a very high peak, down into the deepest valleys. So, "Should she regret the phase of happiness?", she thought.

And then her head asserted, "It was a happy phase. Instead of regretting it, she must learn to be grateful to it".

As her heart and head battled, deep in the seas, something moved.

Slowly, a ghostly figure rose from the seas and glided across the waves towards her.

She instantly recognized the tall physique.

He was gliding towards her in effortless silence.

She walked towards the silvery white figure.

They held hands. She looked into those misty eyes. And her own eyes bedewed.

Now there was no confusion. Everything seemed crystal clear, as clear as the suddenly lighted up waters.

It was sunrise at the stroke of midnight.

"It's not a battle between YOUR head and YOUR heart. On the contrary, it's a battle between your head and MY heart, " he mused.

"So they're two different things?" she asked, lost in those misty eyes.

"Our hearts are one. Not our heads, probably."

"Oh, sad."





Suddenly, all the lights vanished.

And she woke up to midnight.

Her mom walked out of the room.

If I'd Have A Life Span Of Just 24hrs

The topic instantly appealed to me. As morbid as I am, that doesn't strike as a surprise.

Ever since we were born, we have taken life for granted. As if we'd live forever.

Almost everyone has this misconception. And it's almost a part of human nature to take things for granted.

But this topic made me refresh my grey cells.

I'm not known as a very sanguine personality, but somehow, when I think of dying, making happiness my last wish comes to my mind.

Yes. If I have just 24hrs to live, I would like to spend it in making each person I meet, smile. That would, in turn, give me loads of happiness.

And I would never let anyone know I wouldn't be in their lives for more than a day.

I would want to make the ones I dearly love realize how much I truly care.

After all this, if possible, I'd even like to meet Aamir Khan in person. :P
And a few other special people.

I the end, I wouldn't want to die as any normal person, but as a rose who still gives off a fragrance while being crushed.

A change

So I composed this proposal of a poem for someone YOU wouldn't want to know.

All this while I felt so blue
On the leaf of memories, like a suspended dew
Then you came along and my hopes renewed
We were made for each other, it felt so true.

Days passed and I was attracted to you
Each conversation was a story new
My dreams with your presence imbued
And my attraction with each interaction grew.

Out of the many guys there were few
Through whose compliments on cloud nine I flew
I realized with the dawn of emotions devoid of rue
Out of all possible possibilities, I had fallen for you.

So here pauses the story - I fell for you
The dawn of a love story depends on an answer true.

The point here is, this cannot be called a love poem. It isn't. It's something just above the veils of friendship. And for once, the emotions aren't imposing.





I discovered my emotional growth with this something I'd composed just casually.

I'm getting matured through this childish poetry. :D

Broken

To the deepest valleys I shall travel
To leave behind that love
That once shone bright as a flame
Now needs to be shoved.

Up on peaks and deep in the seas
I shall leave behind those feelings
But even under illusions of height and depth
It shall still retain its meaning.

Into the dark voids I shall throw
Everything that once gave pleasure
I shall dig the ground and bury my love
A long lost treasure.

I shall vow I'll never cross your path
Never be a hindrance
I shall be numb forever
Rather than a constant annoyance.

I shall deal with the separation
In any which way I can
I shall cease to try to prove
Our love still stands a chance.

I shall cease to hear you in every wind
Try not to see your face in everyone else's
I shall never again listen to the music
Never again recite those verses.

Someday these wounds would heal
And if they never do
I promise no matter how I be
There will exist a healed you.
