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.

getting over you

i've done all the things
that I should do
everything they said
that'd help me get over you

I've tried anger
I've tried indifference
yet nothing I've done
has made much of a difference

heard all kinds of songs
read all kind of stuff
written everything down
but this is really tough

nothing I do stops me
from thinking about you a zillion times a day
wishing you were here to drive my blues away
wondering how it would've been if things hadn't gone astray
I can't help but think about you every step along the way

well um lavina.... u see emotions are random in a human. one can't lyk completely obliterate etched emotions or suppress them for the time being.
Yes emotions lyk these HAV A VERY BAD TIMING , bt u jus can't help it.
and the best panacea is to pen it down r speak to sum1 abt it.


k abt the poem ... it was "nithyaish " - a new coinage of mine that im gonna havta use to comment on ur poems to save time.

"Nithyaish" means something that is right from the heart written
with no inhibitions ,has a soulful touch to it and makes an almost direct emotional connection with the reader - ur pangs bcum our pangs , ur joy bcums our joy and likewise ur frustration bcums our frustration :))

Im the wrong person to be saying this, but yeah it'll happen.
