The Dark Side of the Moon

The dark side of the moon,

so forlone and cold.

Not a ray of light on its surface,

not a hope of warmth in sight.

So is the heart I carry,

a sinners sin, a moments weakness.

The touch of pride,

the lust that does not die.

Like the dark side of the moon

I carry the shadow of my past.

Honor and justice are prime,

but I'll have to pay for my crime.

I have betrayed hope, and drowned love.

There is no way out, that I know of.

I wait around the dark side of the moon,

till there is no air in my lungs.

This side is mine and mine alone.

No one knows for how long now, I've kept this secret alive.

But in the dark side of the moon, no one really knows,

about the miseries the human body holds.

Airless, breathless I stand in the darkness.

Unreal and numb to the world.

My heart is heavy from the whispers of the past.

How long now, will I with hold?

I smile at people as the walk by me,

but they dont know that my life is a lie.

They cant see the darkness I am standing in,

nor can the sense my fear.

Try as much as I can,

I cannot move into the light.

There is no saving me now, from my doom,

nor from the dark side of the moon.

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...

SILENT TEAR

Every time a tear drop falls, I tell myself never again will it happen. I hug myself and promise the universe, no matter what I will not hurt again. But love makes it so hard for me to hold back all the memories & emotions that flow from my eyes. I keep quiet, listening to my heartbeat slowly. I feel the pain in my chest, but a smile covers my face! How ironic life can get? But we still believe in it. One door closes, a window opens, they say. But in a room with no windows, do we breath, do we stay alive or do we die? I don't deserve this love-less state of mind! Patiently, I waited all these years, believing you would come to me, in a dream, like a dream, like a ray of sunshine through the dark night! I smile at the sight of you, a tune struck a cord in my heart, and I begin to dance! Dancing my pain away? No, a welcome dance. A dance to fresh pain, for a new tear drop on my cold cheek. I stand still now, I suddenly realize that my heart is under an attack. Open, my heart is ...

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...
