DIARY OF A THOUGHT PART 2
WORDS...
On a lazy unproductive day
Write something in the form of
monollogues, fragments of poems
poems un-written....
Poems in your heart in the shape of broken,
crushed thoughts...pierced feelings
broken promises...
Happy joyful remorse
Regrets, lack of something
Something haunting your soul
Hurt, anger, love, hatred
Something vague, always troubling
Always vague...
That desire of finding whatever...
You are looking for.
Something which you have lost...
Something which will never come back...
Write about that...
On a sorrowful day,
On an un-productive day
Do an exercise of expression
Instantanious expression...
Impulsive impression
Satirical expression.
Words, words, words...
Geography of words...
Situation of words...
Heart breaking words...
Silently moving, dancing, singing words...
Kind words, sorrowful words...
Aching, heart throbbing words.
Just write, words, words, words on a sad un-productive day.
"YOU THE STRANGER"
Give your warmth to your own poems.
Give your precious time to your own soul.
To your own aching heart.
This way you will save a fortune...
Fortune, in the form of precious gems...
Your poems are your gems...
Your reward in the shape of Oscar Wild's
Topaz, Rubies, Saphires...
And with that kind of reward
You will create poems...
Poems are no less than diamonds
A real fortune created by you and only you
No one else...
That's for sure, no one else...
Be a stranger to the most busy bodies in the world...
Didn't Racine, that great French poet said something like this?
"Its a pity that you waste so much time on trifles."
You, the perfect stranger...
Learn something from Racine.
"YOU TOLD ME."
You told me, "That you are busy."
You told me again that, "You are busy."
Now I don't think of you...
Neither do I miss you...
Now I am always with a book.
If I was with you-I won't be able to concentrate
On Boudelaire, Rimbaud, Camus, Rumi and Rilke...
I am so glad that now I am with my poems.
SISTER
"She for sure lives a better life than you."
And you?
'Think not so much of what you lack"
'As of what you have."
"Be happy for her"
"I am..."
'But he has stolen her from me."
IN A LITTLE WHILE
"In a little while you will have
forgotten everything,
In a little while-everything will have forgotten you." M-Aurelius
THINGS
"Things which are external to my mind
Have no relation at all to my mind.
Let this be the state of your effects
And you will, and you will stand erect." M-Aurelius
ENTHUSIASM
Some time,
Actually, most of the time,
You meet people who seem very-very nice
And enthusiastic to meet you again...
"Here is my phone number, please call me,
I would love to go out with you for a drink
And talk more..."
"Sure." You say...
Then, next to their phone number you write little notes,
Such as, "Important." and how did you meet them
And where did you meet them?
So you won't forget.
And they seem so nice that you won't mind meeting them again.
After a week or so, you call.
They don't pick up...
You leave a text message-reminding them
How you two met...
And tell them that it would be very nice to meet for a drink.
You wait for a week or so and then call again...
Some people won't call at all but an idiot like me,
Give them a second chance...
Because they kind of seemed sincere at that moment...
The moment when we met for the first time...
So you call again, or leave a text message...
Wait a few days...
No response, none.
I always wonder,
"Why the hell did they give me their phone number so enthusiastically?"
Then you forget about them completely.
But I guess, they forgot about you the moment
They played that sweet little game...
Why do they do that?
I am always curious to know the reason...
PURPOSE OF LIFE
BODY LIFE: Diet, sleep, excercise
HEART LIFE: Emotions
SPIRTUAL LIFE: Ethics-morals.
My life:
Heart life...full
the other end Spirtual life...full
Bdy life: missing
CEASED TO EXIST
And when there is silence on the other end...
I know he has ceased to exist.
Everthing else is a lie...
People keep saying, " He is with you."
"He is with you."
"Where is he?" 'Where is he?"
"He is with you." They say
"He is with me? Where is he?"
"Why can't I see him?"
"Why can't I talk to him?"
"Why doesn't he call me any more?"
MAD
He doesn't remember me
He is mad.
I remember him
I am mad.
MY LOVE
She is beautifully dressed
Pink and silver stripped long dress...
sleeveless-cool
She has nice skin, olive brown
She has a tiny stylish tatoo on her bare back
Dangling bracelets, gold and purple
I know, she can sing...
Her songs must be like the singing birds...
I am sure, she is from the South...
She is my love.
Then I woke up...
She was next to me--
Singing a melodious song.
Then---she was gone.
FINISHED
You see,
It's done.
Finished.
If you didn't start it
It won't come to an end.
It's good to start something and then
Finish it...
But what's the point?
Would this scribble ever make a dollar?
Weel! that's not the purpose
What's the purpose then?
Your page was blank
And now it's full of words.
Words...words...words
Sexy words, soothing words, angry words,
Dancing on the page...
Your own words...
The page full of your own words...
The singing birds...
Creation of your soul...
Worth a million dollars...
Just starts and then finish it.
See, you created something...
Gave birth to something...
Your own...
You own your words.
Precious...isn't it?
What else is better?
Tell me...
What's better?
What else do you want to own than diamonds?
IN THE NAME OF LOVE
In the name of love
You destroyed me
In the name of love,
the damage was done...
In the name of love,
In the name of love
You hurt my eyes...
I cried...
In the name of love,
My eyes lost the luster
My eyes never smiled again.
In the name of love,
My tears kept flowing...
In the name of love,
I left you...
In the name of love,
I never wanted to see you again...
In the name of love,
I accomplished that.
In the name of love,
I never saw you again!
DUSK
At dusk,
I long for something...
Something I lost...
Something which will never come back...
That something,
I long for at the time
Of that golden dusk...
When people are coming back home...
To be with their loved ones...
You will never come back...
That's what I long for...
For you to come back home...
At the time of dusk...
Come back...
That's what I long for...
SIN
Victor Hugo said,
"The poet is only limited by his sin."
And I am not a sinner.
WAIT
You made me wait
You made me wait again
You made me wait
You made me wait again...
Why would I come to you?
Give me one good reason...
FRIENDS
Nothing wrong with having friends
It's just that I was the one who loved...
I wasn't loved back.
Why would I now bother?
"Why would I come to you?
Give me one good reason..."
WORK
If you had a very strong will power
And love of your work,
Actually respect for your work,
You could live without most of the people
For a very long time.
CHILDREN
Children are expressive
And un-afraid
Children will talk to any one
And are always ready to listen...
Unless parents have frightened them
Of strangers, especially the strangers with dark skin
Brown eyes and black hair...
Children in the third world countries
Are freeer...than the first world's children...
In the third world, they all have dark skin
And black hair...
Here children have been made frightened
Of someone like me...and I am a chidren's doctor
INVENT BY DURAS
"I invent people
And I talk to them.
Since I have no friends...
I invent enemies...
I talk to the enemies...
I insult them."
PAIN
"If some pain was deadened,
I would force myself
To want some thing,
However hard it might be." M. Duras
APATHY
Try to fight apathy
Go out and be away from yourself...
Go out and watch people...
What ever they do
How they behave
Without expectations of any benefit or affection...
Just go out and about...
Don't expect any favors, help or love...
Not even any respect...
Expecting respect is very dangerous
And will increase your apathy...
That's for sure...
You better respect yourself...
Respect yourself, every second, every minute,
Every day of the month, every month of the year
Leave home with lots of respect for yourself
And come back with even more...
Just be above your wants...
And be productive...
That is the only instrument
Which will take care of your apathy...
It will make apathy fly away like the singing birds
Who migrate to different lands in different seasons.
