Why I write



Sometimes you want to write. Write down every single thing that flips  across your temporal space. Whether its gibberish or the most intense feelings of your heart, you just want to type it all down. Rip out every single thought out of your skull and implant it somewhere else. Just get rid of the clutter that keep playing tricks on you.
"All writers are vain, selfish, and lazy, and at the very bottom of their motives there lies a mystery. Writing is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand. For all one knows that demon is simply the same instinct that makes a baby squall for attention. And yet it is also true that one can write nothing readable unless one constantly struggles to efface one's own personality."
~ George Orwell
It's just there
simmering down, somewhere in the
attic of this cluttered brain matter
it varies in forms and frames
like those splashy colors that are dear to me

I like to change and try them all
some I dislike, sore to my eyes
no reasons I can tell
why I despise them, I just do
don't even try

People palavering me
and clinging that drives me
deep personal possessions
like some good music
renders me blind

Sun that's new everyday
so are the shadows it designs
so often I want to paint it all
all the designs and ideas behind
I want to write it all

If not write then
shout it out loud
beginning to end
I just want to put it in rhyme
but, it doesn't

It remains there
hiding out, may be waiting
for the right time and place
or maybe there isn't a space
where I can write it down.

Day of Retrospection & Contemplations


For last year's words belong to last year's language
And next year's words await another voice.
~ T. S. Elliot



I sit back and think 
how it was ?? 
Good or bad 
or it was nothing but static. 
I did my best
Or am I self-biased 
when I say it ?

I know the truth
the real one.. 
inside my head
I did best, 
could have been better..
Who knows ?

Those days are past 
for forever..
sulking about it 
doesn't  make it better. 
Clinging  on to the good ones 
marching on..
for the next. 

Mistakes I reiterate.
Distractions that penetrate
my strong willed wall..
shake it down
to the verge of fall.
I'm staunch, not to 
commit them again.
Less pains for time ahead..
just results and gains :) 

Happy New Year fellas.. Make the next year a different one !!
