YOU....


Sometimes I yearn for you,
Wish you could comfort me
When I’m down, caress me
When tired.

I look for you everywhere-
All I see is evil.
Hands to kill my innocence.
Eyes that cut deep into my soul.

I cry. Bitterly.
Hoping against hope I’ll
Discover you someday.
Place my head on your bosom
And weep out my sorrows.

I die a million deaths
In my quest for you.
Dreaming lazily about our
Enamouring encounters,
Amidst peace and plenty.
Bestowing each other with love-
Unheard and unseen ever.

The romance ends one day,
I lose you to the world.
Again its solitude for me.
I look for someone else like you
And the longing never ends.

I realize the elusive truth
In my last breath.

I should have looked within me.
You are within me.
In my imagination.
So pure, so dazzling that
The Maker dared not infuse
You in the real world.
He knew you would be
Tarnished, scathed by vice.

You are a dear part of my life,
Very much within me.
All of us are the enchanted
Musk deer.

Abhishek Behera said…
touching. lovely clarity. one of the best poems i have read on blogosphere...

the last two lines left me in a thoughtful silence... how true.

i could associate with the lines.
Frankly speaking all adjectives are falling short i guess...

Its simply beautiful...

I loved the way you portrayed the incompleteness you feel, when you miss that person.

and later when said, that you realized that, he is within you..

Fantastic....

You play with words very well..

Keep writing.

Cheers
Anwesa...

I havent seen you around... :-(

Richa said…
this is ssooo soooo amazingly beautiful and sad :)

plzz accept an applaud :)
Anonymous said…
touchin and lovely words.
Gymnast said…
Hmm...You have come to the conclusion that the person you longed for is actually within you? Because he's too pure to actually walk the earth?
Cant say i agree with the sentiment of the poem. Sometimes the man of your dreams also exist in the outside world.
Anwesa said…
@pesto sauce,
is it ? i guess so....
Anwesa said…
@richa,
thanx dear!!!!i guess its not sad,its only wen we hav 2 realize our innate being,i.e.,conscience
Anwesa said…
@gymnast,
:) i respect ur views without mincing words.
the post was abt recognizin one's innate being,i.e.,conscience-wich guides u perfectly.all men n women r imperfect,but each conscience is perfect.i was talkin abt this innate being.the use of "he" is merely figurative.

i beliv u get persons who r close 2 ur dream-figures(wich is perfect).
but nobody on earth is perfect.
Diya said…

I know its a long time that I visited your blog but I should tell you this, everytime I visit your blog, I learn quite a number of new words.
You are awesome at playing with words describing emotions and complex feelings. I loved this post. Reminds me of someone I regret losing.

Hope you didn't have to go through the pain you wrote in here

@vijay,
thanx 4 reading!!
do keep visiting!!!
I took HE as the fact.... Here you are realizing the ideal... right?
Because people are, see, busy idealizing the real nowadays!

Pl define "fact" as fact, beyond the market terms of "existing, outer" and all....

Its nice that you are aware of HIM- unavailable around, that I would like to remind you why it happened so, that its not Dhwaparayuga, or Threthayuga...


Let him never objectify , because once objectified-then you will have to rectify.... hihihi... its not HIS manufactured defect, instead the impending and prevailing defect of all the products or objectified....

You dragged God inbetween, so I am also compelled to shout at god now that then why HE(god) went to the extremes to fill you inside this vessel while your MIRROR was not given any vessels to appear under the schemes of TIME?(you may say that its in me)Thats why you lost your face now, without that MIRROR- to confirm your eyes, forehead, hair, eyebrow, and -the centere position of the KUMKUM.....HE(god)knew not that you also will be tarnished?

Idiot god no?

At last you are happy with the incarnated musk deer! That also can be done no....

Let me ask you one qstn, you are convinced in that "within" discover? good, !!!! same way lights are spread everywhere, in and out, still you will be more pleased and contented once you can see it in the FORM of flames from a lamb no? You will be more pleased and contented once you can see the source of it no....? Why so? Madam, Objects can sense the objects, never an object can convincingly experience a subject.. subjective light wont quench the thirst of the outer eyes, but the light from a lamp or from a source, with its source will make the eyes happy and contented!

So let us pray, that let HIM come out from within.... I feel very bad on one issue that how you got the notions precisely about him?

See, I got disturbed from the bottom that you told about him...

I am no way interested about his objectifications and all, even though I told you all these...

But I am damn disturbed that you had the genuine photo of-"missing"-HIM... Yea, you know the fact, why I am much disturbed-that it was me-with these two hands-stabbed HIM to death! A cold blooded murder! At least he should had told me about his kid.... He would not have got a second to tell about... I had been quick with my super reflexes...

Sorry!
Not to you,
But to me!

ILLUSIONS OF REALITY...

The more you point out my mistakes, The more you are drawn towards me. The more you try to hurt me, The more you bleed in your heart. The more you run away from me, The more my memories haunt you. The more you want to forget me, The more you are reminded of my presence. The more you want to chase me away, The closer I come to you. The more you hate me, The more you end up loving me. The more you call me an “illusion” The more I dawn as the reality of your life….

A C R O S T I C

A s I was walking , C hoosing the hues of life, R ainclouds made an appearance O n the sunny sky above. S cuttling through untrodden paths, T he narrow bylanes,not a soul around, I was indeed lost - Drops of rain C hased me - but Ahoy! a way was found.

CONFESSION OF A WOMAN...

When I'm born,I'm jeered at.When I'm a child,I'm made to believe that my reason for existence is somebody else.While I'm growing up,I'm discouraged to question.My brain and heart are numbed.I cannot die too,since it will bring infamity to my family.People would say,"At this age,what could have forced her to terminate herself ? She failed to materialize her fantasy.Such bad morals." I fast for the well-being of my father and brothers.When I outgrow my frocks,I'm let off to another household.There, I work for others, without pay.I have children but they treat me like a door-mat.Here too,I fast for my husband's and childrens' long,peaceful life.When the man of the house,who happens to be my "husband" dies,I shed a part of my soul.I have no right to live then,I just breathe and sit in a corner.Rest of my life is spent in praying-for death.They say, "Woman needs a man.In childhood,its father.In youth,its husband and in old age,i...
