I search my world , but I cant find you.
You're standing there but I can't touch you.
Try to talk, but the words are just not there.
I can feel a sense of danger
You stare at me , like I'm a stranger
I'm paralysed but you dont seem to care. . .
The demons in my dream . . .
First up, here's wishing all the Indians across the globe a very happy independence day!
What my fingers put down here
my mind could not mend
it is the regret of years
that the heart couldn't quite comprehend
Deep inside you, and your patient ways
My angst against the world, vanishes into a haze
At a brief moment, when I'd look into your eyes
That grin on your face, it would make me smile
For that moment alone, the crap would somehow die
Deep in your heart, you would patiently heed
to every single whim of mine, every need
Pushed me off to sleep while you still stayed awake
But there fate and cosmic math at stake
Puerile I was , Prudent I am
In fury I was, but numb is all I am
Only you , had the magic to make me smile
Only you, could make me laugh it all , awhile
And now, I cant reach to you no more
And yet, I yearn for you like never before
Thank you for setting me free, with grace
In your memories and your words, I will ever find solace.
Had a very 'Stranger in Moscow-ish' moment today. Here is the link to my most favorite MJ song of all time!
And so it was foretold
the doom about the unfold
the pure of heart were to be poisoned
the bitter revelation of betrayal, envisioned
"Sure , why not?", they laughed it by
with a sarcasm so sharp, yet so dry
Neither of the two had thought of the bad
But one wasn't true, yet the other so glad
And so dragged on this tryst past many a fight
the one so true, held on with all might
The seers and prophets laughed, jokes galore
"Silly young lad! This shan't last no more!"
PS: Found this piece of crap while clearing my drawers at work.
PPS: This is nothing related to me or anyone else in my life.
PPPS: Poetry standards at all time low - this would be #37.
When I had stated earlier that I would make optimal use of my weekend, I was not kidding!
I slept through most of my Saturday (aah) and then saw the masterpiece 'Yaaruko Yaaro'.
I sat.
I saw.
I survived.
If I survived this, I can survive ANYTHING!
Today we had a dance and music club performance for 2 hours - it was a predominantly dance event with the music club providing fillers intermittently. We had loads of fun rehearsing as the equipment seemed far more co-operative this whole week, when we practiced during the first few hours of the day for the past 5 days.
And today, yes, the PA System f#$ked up.
Yes , this was expected.
No, we did not fret as much.
Yes, we had an awesome time.
No, the following week will not be so forgiving.
The calm before the storm . . . . @-)
Yes, I am going to make the most of this weekend! :-D
Last night, thanks to a good friend of mine, I was reminded of the fact that Michael Jackson's memorial services was about to start. I had never watched a live event on web cast . This was the first time.
I got a CNN link and they had collaborated with Facebook - so millions of people were watching the video on pane of the browser and updating status in Facebook parallely. The memorial service featured performances by famous artistes like Mariah Carey, Usher, Lionel Richie , John Mayer and Jermaine Jackson (MJ's elder brother). Usher broke down in the middle of the service (wonder why) and the entire Jackson family came up on stage and hugged him. Jermaine Jackson's rendition of 'Smile' was very touching. And as we all had expected the event wound up with 'We are the world' and 'Heal the world'. Tear filled goodbyes were bid to the true king of pop , and his daughter's sentimental , choked up goodbye had touched many hearts.
Most people in my generation would agree when I state that we listened to Michael Jackson's work a lot in our teens and still do. Who hasn't heard of 'They dont really care about us' or did not get choked up after seeing the video of 'Earth Song', or jived to 'Black or White', 'Beat it', 'Thriller' or 'Smooth Criminal'?
Even though he had a turbulent and a traumatic personal life , I have tremendous respect for the musician in him.And he will live in our hearts. Eternally.
RIP.
