Peaceful solitude due to general human disinterest and fickle attention spans

 After a longtime I came back here, to see that its silent out here. Most of us have moved onto newer shinier platforms with mind captivating and then altering algorithms I guess. I remember the time When bloggers were made fun of, I guess we always underestimate our own capabilities, good or bad considering how bloggers have been replaced by short video creators i guess. I love this solitude though. Its like shouting out on the top of a mountain, people can listen to it but the fact that there is no one around to hear it is what makes this solitude all that more beautiful. I have decided to come back here unless google decides to not support this platform anymore, no one can stop me. to all the people who get to read this including my future self, have hope, loneliness can be peaceful and solitude can be granted in the weirdest of ways. 

Although my happiness in being ignored raises a lot of questions, I would like to pursue it rather than question the circumstances of my happiness. Here's to my present and future self and this weird world.

Sometimes its so lonely even with a room full of people

Its been quite a while since my last post, the creative juices have gone dry. No affliction could bring them back I guess. The only reason I still survive is of my stupid heart but by the day hope seems to wane. Looks like it miht not be long before the sun sets but till then my foolish heart sings, sings like there is no tomorrow.

religious bigotry

All Gods ever put forward by religions extinct and extant are false, bigoted, bloodthirsty monsters created and modified according to their needs by maniacal, scheming, cunning humans, but then why should all this bother a sane human being and make him completely aloof to the possibility of a better God in existance who has not yet been found? who loves all human beings irrespective of their birth credentials and thinks that everything is right as long as you are not hurting humans who may be affected by your actions in a good or adverse way. Given the all pervasive reach of religions its not that hard to achieve world peace its just that they do not teach equality irrespective of birth, colour, creed and beliefs.

Look back before you leave because once you leave you can never look back and once you look back you can never leave.

We have the power to do good as much as to do evil, its just that we choose to do evil so regularly that we are almost incapable of doing any good.

strange muses

Proverbs are like organised religion, they have a line for every outcome of every situation. Good as literature bad for real life.



The problem with ''us'' is we try to change according to the world, instead of changing the world according to us.

HOPE AND AGAIN STUPID HOPE

Here we are
In the middle of the night
Reaching out for stars
That shine for us so bright

We know its all a beautiful lie
They twinkle they shine
Peep through the darkest clouds
And make us feel fine

They are out of our reach
But make us reach out
Through all eternity
Hope wins over sane doubt

There aint no God in the voids above
There aint no peace, there aint no love
But we listen to human hope preach
Silently saying its just in our reach

Every passing moment we know
Is one moment too near
I would rather not see
The truth though very clear

I will hold on, fight on, stand firm
Through all the cloudy night skies
Though they may shine for only a term
And let one of them die before my eyes
I would rather believe in immortality

of falling stars and wishes

This is my first post after coming to this land and the change in geography hasn't been much of a help to my general well being and my mind is as blank as ever. Its like I'm on drugs without the pacifying effect of relaxation and euphoria, its hard for me to even compose the simplest of sentences to describe the deep dark blankness that encompasses me now at this moment. I'm an automaton responding to external stimuli in the logical way possible with nothing whatsoever effecting my general blankness. I'm good as dead and all the people i see around look like they are desperately hanging onto life and making faces as if they are enjoying every moment of it while I know its a big farce. The biggest thing that astounds me time and again is why do people stereotype and what makes them think that all people follow their survival instincts, hormones and respond expectedly to known stimuli. I know I'm living against my wishes doing what I don't what to do knowing that people around me are putting up a show to teach me about life one of these days when I think I've had enough I'll just hang up my boots and walk out in a dignified way. Every minute I'm waiting for that glorious moment of enlightenment when the ills of this world conquer my ubiquitous love of life and helps me cut loose to float freely into the void. Till then I'll be playing my part on the stage with my mask on, smiling and waving knowing it could be the next moment that the curtain falls and I'll exit smiling.

perils untold future foretold

Everybody keeps talking about suicide and death in my face. I know what awaits me in the near future. My death has been so meticulously choreographed that it leaves me no way out. I dont know what stopped the all knowing God from telling my prayerful parents the truth. I dont know what made him allow all that has been done to me. I cant escape the truth neither can I live with it. I love her but she doesnt even want to acknowledge me. I know I'm being punished. Neither do I want to hurt her nor do I want to hurt myself and therein lies the whole problem. If this is how the world and God works then Id better prepare to leave than hurt someone for my happiness. I think Ive sacrificed my whole life for others happiness and at the end Im leaving as an idiot a schizophrenic who thinks everybody is onto him everybody is trying to change or hurt him. Ive got no more words after all these years theres not a single soul whom I can call friend who can really understand me or help me out here. i knew my cries of help will go in vain since the days I was in russia for it was me who carved my path and doomed my future. I knew I would be dying a lonely death. so much for freewill I cant make somebody love me. Not much time left and its as if Ive got nothing more to accomplish. I wont stop till the last day but i know Im losing ...... pretty fast and no saviour in sight. I would be a classical example for all those christian idiots who were responsible for my misery in the first place now they want me to pray to a God who couldnt tell them the truth who couldnt give them enough reasoning to understand their own son. Its a battle lost from the day one and sometimes we need to call it quits and Ill do it soon. Now they want to paint a picture of her as a person of loose character so that i can forget her and get on with my life If only my life was as easy as their imaginations. Im afraid to leave this beautiful world but they leave me no choice. farewell till my next post

HOMEWARDBOUND AND STRANDED


Got stranded in korukonda railway station, vizianagaram district at 1am. Fell asleep in the last leg of my journey from vijayawada to vizag and had to get down out of a moving train at korukonda only to be enlightened that no passenger trains stop there at nights. Im literally stranded with two station staff and three mongrels who growl at every moment of mine and a tiny british cottage a pathetic excuse for a station but picture perfect to me. The dim lights, the occasional ding of a bell of the archaic machinery has transported me back to the bygone times, truly a beautiful experience. Its all in your perspective. To compliment the ambience there is an Avery weighing machine from 1892 in the station and it had a stamp that said it was the property of the erstwhile Bengal Nagpur Railway. Wish I had a camera with me to capture the moment. Tomorrow I may not even remember this moment, but as of now Im thoroughly soaking in every sight and sound. Life is so fascinating especially when you are in love.

I'd giv nythin 2 c u again

This is one of my favourite songs which truly captures my anguish


I've had bad dreams too many times,
to think that they don't mean much any more.
Fine times have gone and left my sad home,
friends who once cared just walk out my door.

Love has no pride when I call out your name.
Love has no pride when there's no one left to blame.
I'd give anything to see you again.

I've been alone too many nights
to think that you could come back again.
But I've heard you talk: "He's crazy to stay."
But this love hurts me so, I don't care what you say.

If I could buy your love, I'd truly try my friend.
And if I could pray, my prayer would never end.
But if you want me to beg, I'll fall down on my knees;
asking for you to come back...
I'd be pleading for you to come back...
beggin for you to come back to me.

dreams are my reality


If ever there was a hope
I found it in you
But the way you bowed down
to this earthly race
has left me broken
and killed my last breath
now I live dead in you
an autumn leaf a rolling stone
Ill stop the day my life ends
like the wind and the brooks
Till then my journey continues
no place to go no hope to cling
and this poem fades soft as it began
the only hope i have is in you

false hopes


im gonna ride the sorrow railroad
down to that gloomy yonder town
time called and you never did hold
its down the track for me alone
The wheels lost their rhythm
the meadows their smells
its all soot and smoke
with tears that run and choke
i know it aint easy
to let you go
but time is just that way
never hears the plans we share
and the little secrets we hold
nor does see the dreams
or the future we foretold
I know its gonna be lonely
down to the end of the line
but ill hold on for i know
youll be waiting there for me
ill kiss your sweet face
promise never to let you go
for time can never touch us
nor does sorrow cold
for Ill have you in my heart
and there aint no place for more

LONGING


Eternal silence
Tender soft and sweet
In the darkness silently creep
To my stead for me
Sweet are the last gulps of breathe
Sweet are life's memories too
But don't let me turn back
for theres nothing left to be true
My life's been wasted
and my love too
Now here I wait
To hear thy muffled footsteps
To discern thy shape in the darkness
and the glint of thy scythe
Conceal me in thy mighty embrace
and as you leave
Let me go with you

BEAUTY OF A TEAR

Every word here is a lie
for truth is never told with beautiful words
Every tear "disappears" it exists in oblivion
for theres no beauty in its existance
Only sunny days and blooming flowers
ever capture the imagination
gloomy days and streaky cheeks
never find the light of words
for who finds beauty in suffering


Life is a race from the word go
to escape death and pain
knowing not ironically its just a trap
we end up in their embrace
while running away from them
only "fools" stay back to touch and feel
death and pain are just as real
Feel for they stop being what they are
and become just a part of life
In the quest for the meaning of life
and life after death
everybody loses perspective
while fools die a peaceful death
the enlightened turn in their graves
for not being fools

down the road


My heart succumbed

to a lonely open road

like tender to fire

a melancholic fancy

for a glowing death

traversing ignoring the doom

that awaits at the end

stopping at every corner every turn

reliving the memories that hide

behind milestones tantalisingly

every mile marker

a pain a pleasure

upto you to stop and hold

or let them dissapear

in the darkness following you




DOWN THE ROAD

every lonely heart succumbs

a lonely open road

midnight showers

ive been waiting for some rain for two days now but it looks like its not gonna happen anytime soon. i love rainy nights. nights make me feel like that it is raining just for my happiness. to get drenched, smelling the sweet smell of the earth and then feeling that all that is just for you is heady and it makes me all poetic and religious. common i never said i dont believe in God. i had a beautiful drive back home just me and the empty road in the rain. well i got a bonus with the rain, empty roads, the normally busy beach road looked deserted and did i tell you loneliness makes me feel that the whole world and all its beauty has been created for me?...... i love a rainy night such a wonderful sight..... wish it would atleast tomorrow

the emptiness hurts my senses

Not a cloud on the horizon
Yet not a sun in my skies
My moon weathered away
and my last star streaked out
The dust dissapears from under my feet
and Im suspended in emptiness
My only hope is the darkness of the void
with which my heart still holds
going beyond the end the moment it loses
Where unembraced love finds solace in eternal silence

Even a broken clock gets to be right twice a day

The irony of life is people try to influence you to become something in life but they never have the faintest idea of what they are asking you to do, and just because you love them and wait for instructions to do what they want to do they think you are a loser and they need to change you by doing things that scar you for the rest of your life,making you think was it really worth it that you thought about them in the first place and the answer is a bitter no that reverberates through your senses and shakes you to the core. If inflicting pain can change people then it will definitely change but not me because I dont want to lose in life one more time just because you wanted me to just because you dont have the faintest idea of what next to do with my life and hence blame me for being a failure. I'd rather die trying.
