Balloons and pearls


There was a balloon-seller on one of the nights I was walking out. I don't know what I did, but this is what the camera managed. Sometimes, it is wonderful when you do not have any control over things. Sometimes, it is beautiful to let go, to belong, to mesh...

Circle provided a wonderful imagery on 'Hibernation'. I will try and see if I can manage a couple of short poems...


The pearl leaves its cocoon
The oyster breaks
To see it being tied to a chain
~ ~
Why do people value a pearl
Only when it leaves home
After destroying it?

I am speechless, humbled and lost for more words...
FV made such a powerful poetry in the simplest way possible...
FV said it all , the whole philosophy of our lives in just one simple poem...

Kashmir blog:Can one of you jihadis explain to us how the police stand to gain if the reward for a militant goes up?

Does the police collect the reward money or is it the cvilian informer?

And who exactly are these mysterious unnamed people whom the psecular english media with an axe to grind quotes for their propaganda.These english media like age run by jihadi akbar have no credibility.These are the same scum who hide godhra train and go on only about post godhra.So that they can make money from muslims and mullahs who will not read their articles unless it panders to their deeply ingrained "us believers vs them infidels" jijadi instincts.
FV has to do this for a living besides whoring herself to islamic dicks.Otherwise one is not allowed entry to english media psecular -jihadi club.So FV does this nonsense for money.Like all traitors.

And dont worry about our time FV.we are united in our fight against traitors and jihadi whores like u who stay in India and betray our jawans who die for these lowest lives.Go to Pakistan and lick as many jihadi penises as you want.But dont do it by betraying our dieing jawans.Shame on u.

The philosophy of life is simple; it is the living that is tough...

I see that things have been great here...it feels good to be back, although it was backbreaking work!

Although I think on similar lines, I believe that it all depends upon the way you look at life. What amazes me is how most of us, almost all of us, view life in that very negative light. Like water...it supports life and takes it too.
There is beauty in darkness. It lures me like a siren.
Your poetries are a treat. Thanks.

SM:

A morbid look is not always 'negative'. If you can relish darkness then the light that you see later to seek looks different. So it adds a new dimension.

Thanks for liking the poetry. I identify most with them, so much so that some people make the most implausible connections between those words and me...

Exactly!!!
I have people telling me about how my blogs are dark in a manner that seems accusatory. I don't argue, doesn't really matter now.

Also, it is impossible that someone who understands what you have written doesn't try to link you with the feel of the poem. In my case, they can't believe that I have expressed those thoughts. Do you honestly think the connections are implausible? I don't think so, when one writes in the high of emotions it gets integrated in the final product...like a faint smell..or a watermark...and no matter how well you try to conceal it, the traces will escape. But it so happens, that even when you write something random they try to associate it with something personal coz of the previous experience or esoteric subjects. Hehe..I find that terribly funny.

Perhaps people are so afraid of the dark that they cannot face it anywhere, even on a blog.

Re. poetry, i do say it is me. However, by that I mean my expressions, my state of mind...it need not be my reality. It might seem unfair to expect everyone to get the metaphors and interpret them the way you wish, but I would expect those who are perceptive to find those links outside of me.

I am not even removed from my political writing, so how can I remove myself from these words?
