a tad of joy
a bin of hurt
my life – apparent trivial,
beyond the high walls
i hear the self-indulgent celebrations..
it’s time, I sense
life will finally come by,
untie the knot
let me drift
blood – fresh,
dripping
from the nails…
He smiles.
i begged Him
to see me just this once;
comfort my writhing soul.
tired and frail
i am unsure of a decent burial.
my final prayer.
fresh blood twining down my nails…
He smiles.

“Let me drift…”
There’s something truly wonderful in those three words.
Exactly 🙂
Hello Arjun, I have nominated you for the Inspiring Blogger award. I have really enjoyed your poetry and photos. For more information, if you are interested, follow the link; http://habitualrunaway.wordpress.com/2012/12/14/very-inspiring-blogger-award/
Thank you Ana, This is too good to be true although writing 7 things about myself is 7 times tougher than writing 70 poems 😀 nevertheless I shall comply for I am more keen to nominate 15 bloggers. I owe it to them.
Oh yes, of course – but I can also tell that your poetry comes from a deep place. I have enjoyed all of your blog – I find your photos to be very moving as well – that is saying nothing of your personal tales! Excellent blog, Arjun =)
I got an excellent idea. I am going to print this comment of yours and paste it on my laptop screen. Forever =D
Oh thank you – definitely truth. =D
a lovely piece !
Thank you Ayesha ! I was giggling at your joke. I need to visit your blog often to take a breather from my stuff here 🙂 Nice to meet you
haha thanks alot for appreciating….stay in touch 🙂
Wow. We wait and wait, consumed by our own thoughts, wrapped in our private blog cocoons. Millions of thoughtful people finding their voice,sharing, reaching out. Your voice found me; inspired me and lifted my spirit.Thank you.
I am a month old blogger, seeking writers I can read and share with…
but what you just is a friendly warning, that maybe a few months down the line, I might too, comfortable in my cocoon stop to look outside. That day my learning will stop. Thanks for leaving me a token of advice, that will come handy to me in future.
Trust me when I say the “cocoon” reference was more of a reminder to myself. I have been blogging since May, and my confidence grows daily. A chance stumble upon your blog is my reminder to keep my heart and mind open.
We learn and relearn our own resolutions time and again. I am humbled.
If you don’t mind me asking, may I know your name? It just helps me communicate better.
Valerie
