others may have wine, i have poetry

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute.

We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.

And the human race is filled with passion.

And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.

But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.

morning blues, views

early mornings..used to be almost alien
now they've become part of my daily routine
i used to sleep away into oblivion
now i wake up before the sun rises above the horizon

i'm not exactly complaining
because it is a an interesting feeling
to be awake when the world around you is asleep
each minute seems longer,silence seems more deep

its refreshing.... the purity in the air
when the morning fills with the mosque's prayer
the birds start chriping, all up for the day
into the infinite skies they find their way

in the neighbouring house an alram rings
followed by ear splitting noises and screams
unwillingly people get up from their bed
with the days mileu filling up their heads

the newspaper boy comes with hot news
people gather to gossip..um share views
one by one all the hawkers start arriving
and the world is up on its feet and cracking

and all along a girl sits in front of her computer
and writes this poem in her blog
she writes about morning blues and her views
when she is supposed to study..and slog!!
