On Stranger Tides...


If only I could tell you why I feel this nervous,
As on stranger tides we sail;
Against the rough waves I will have to steer us,
Because maybe, you'll fail...


If only I could see you when I closed my eye,
And know all that I don't;
That you'd love me as much isn't living a lie,
Because maybe, you won't...



If only I could know who and where you really are,
So that I don't trespass too soon;
In the quest of reaching the farthest star,
Because maybe, you are on the dark side of the moon...



If only He could assure me I haven't sinned,
In still feeling that you and I share a bond;
As if you were my candle in the wind,
And, maybe, my only lotus in the pond...







------------------------------
But then the morning comes, and we turn back into pumpkins, right? (-Celine, Before Sunrise)

If only I could tell you what you miss
Holding yourself back behind that door
What seems brash from there is but a bliss
Because maybe, I know her more ;-);-)

If only you'd not misunderstand me either Sir
As my poetic freedom I exploit
How can airy fogs of smoke ever stir
Without a fire or maybe, a fight :D

What are both of you on about????
Though the comments are as interesting as the blog, dont u think it steals the limelight of the blog?????

P.S Aby, wat's wit the sudden romantic avtaar??? :-O IIM/IIT in vicinity? ;-)

Kajal said...

Ssuperbb Daffy! :) Surprised to know that you too have a romantic side... But what's cooking? Status messages bhi Lynrd Skynrd se Lucky Ali pe aagaye? IIT-IIM mil gaya kya koi? :D

Two things,

(1)I do have a very intelligent romantic side..much like Celine of Before Sunrise/ Sunset :P I just have issues exhibiting it. Meanwhile- hatred/vengeance/disgust/pursuit for passion/anger/ambition and other dark emotions come to me so naturally I tell you, just like the morning sunshine :P

(2) Which god-forsaken hour was it when I expressed my 'inclination' for IIT/IIMs? Its like the sins of my past are haunting me. Let it be gone please, I have been brainwashed and dont give a damn to these degrees anymore :-|

keep it REAL said...

Two big takeaways here :
1. The beautiful poem itself, without a doubt.
2. The candid admission of : "(2) Which god-forsaken hour was it when I expressed my 'inclination' for IIT/IIMs? Its like the sins of my past are haunting me. Let it be gone please, I have been brainwashed and dont give a damn to these degrees anymore :-|". This will go a long way :D

The Dark Side of the Moon is never seen, the damn side never faces us..

And I wonder, if you are more like Jesse or Celine?
