Am I dead?


Lazy thoughts in my head,
make me wonder if I am dead.
Cookies, chocolates and ice creams too
this is not want I want from you.
Free wild and absolutely high
Hands out, I run towards the open sky.
Yellow flowers sway and dance
I laugh at the owl's stance.

Blue, green, yellow and pink,
in all these colors my feet sink.
Cool waters tickle my feet,
when I try and move them to an African beat.
The sun has started to melt,
in the dark green grass I knelt.
My body heavy, my mind still active
fireflies hold my heart captive.

Cool breeze dries my sweat
as I lay their in Nature's debt.
I realize that the breeze is not the gentle wind,
but the fan in my room that is on full spin.
I feel lost and helpless in my bed,
what if it was true, all of what I just said.
Lazy thoughts like these in my head,
make me wonder if I am dead.

Explicit

When people talk, do they always say what is on their mind? Or do they live in a fear that words once thrown, like stones, can create ripples in the water? I have been thinking of how honest people actually are, when I got the news that honesty is a flexible term and can be moulded according to the situation or circumstance. As I rode my two Wheeler to office today, I looked around on the street and saw 'dishonest' people. Where are they going? What are they going to say next which may not be honest? I was infuriated at the thought that at some point of time I can also be 'dishonest'. So what is honesty? Should people be explicit with their feelings to be considered honest? A friend who comes dressed like a Fashion disaster wouldn't want to hear the words circulating in your head. So you say nice things to her like, oh what a lovely dress! But do you really mean it? Most often NO. Then are we being truthful? We two people fall in love, it is an amazing feeling. We...

Mystic Moon

She steals her way slowly, like a weightless feather across the sky dark grey. tempting you with her soft glow and suddenly the memories flow. A reminder of a night spent in a lover's arms, and if by chance of a lover's fight, her light asks them to stay calm. Basking in the soft white light, romantic verses many a poets have had the chance to write. Her beauty surpasses many of nature's, she glorifies mountains and rivers where her light reaches. Slowly and steadily she grows from a smile of a child, to the bosom of a woman, yet she dies only to be reborn again. Magnificent is her appearance at her prime, that even the oceans turn silver appearing as if they are her shrine. The moon stands alone beaming like a beacon in the night sky, for all the travelers to lead them by. by,Teja Priyadarshini

What can I say...

What is it about life? We smile when we don't want to. We answer questions even when our lips barely want to move. We look excited when our insides scream for some quiet. I hardly know what life wants out of me? I am not expecting life to give me anymore than it has given me. A caring family, lovable friends, and an intelligent mind. But there is a void inside my soul, which I can't quite understand. Man, they say, is a species that has always wanted more than he has. There is an old story that says that, when God asked man what he wanted, he said he wanted the sight of an eagle, the agility of a leopard, the strength of a lion, and the wise mind of an owl. So be it, God had said. But the animals knew what man actually acquired - the virtue of Greed! Why am I telling you this? Well, I feel the same want. Though its not materialistic, a want is a want, none the less. I want to know what it will take to fill the void inside my soul. I want to know where I am headed. I want to kn...
