The end of the world

If the world ended tomorrow,
how would I feel?
Would I be sad to see the end?
Or think it no big deal?

If the world ended tomorrow,
would I cry?
That with all my things in the world,
me and my memories must die?

I think it would be a catastrophe,
of the greatest kind.
I'd be miserable and lost
and maybe out of my mind

There'd be so much I had to say,
so much I kept back,
That I thought I had the time for,
but it was time that I lack.

There'd be memories and stories
That'd die with me
A lot of love and hurt,
a lot of you and me.

There'd be more than hurt,
a lot of affection and love
Which I share with beings
but I rarely ever show

For it's those you love,
that you take for granted
but its them you always need
but they hardly feel wanted

I'd want to yell it out
From the top of the world
That I've led a great life,
and have liked and been loved.

That I've been lucky
to share these times
With you and your smiles
and your laughter like chimes

That there's never anything called later
and there's just now and today
When you have to let it all out
And yes, you do have to say

That people aren't forever
And neither are we
And we should love more easily
Be open and be free

That's what I'd do,
were my world to end
I'd speak my heart out
Instead of struggling to fend

Because my world is quite small
it is contained in thee
And if this world were ending
With it would be me.

    Really really awesome...

    Some great lines spoken by thee,
    You might feel how puny are we;
    Your words were pretty and meaning was deep,
    May these wishes forever you keep...

    Some stanza were just amazing,
    Read them twice, and kept on dazing,
    I could have written more, but felt so lazy,
    Had to rhyme, so I'm ending with crazy..

      Surprised as I am at the words u spoke
      Coz I knew u were smart, but not that u wrote
      I feel flattered and happy at the efforts u took
      Coz I thought this post wouldn't get more than a look

      A blog I think even you should write
      And u can shed some great light
      On the topics that go on in that mind
      And who knows, a new talent we may find :)

      I am humbled by your appreciating words,
      the power you possess, is mightier than herds,
      Think not your work will ever be overlooked.
      Your recipe of words can't be better cooked.

      Oh dear I don't possess a poetic hand,
      Whatever i write shall ever be bland,
      But your optimism is shining bright,
      For likes of me merely follow the light.

      Humble and modest, as you are
      Your writing's great, it'll go quite far
      The power that you say I possess
      Read your own hand, you have no less

      As for me, I write only that
      Which I think and feel with my heart
      Hope you keep reading my works like now
      Because praise is always welcome you know ;)

Internship: The beginning

So I've noticed, and I'm sure you have too, how my blog has no real (or maybe way too little) information about me. It's all mostly a collection of vague poems, deep emotions and disturbing recollections. The reason for the exclusion of my life adventures from this blog is not insane paranoia about my private life, but the general lack of happening events that my life presents. Now that I'm on an intern in Canada for the summers, I thought I'd make this blog a little more personal, and let all you (if there are any) people get a glance at what I hope will be a happening and tale-worthy part of my life. Leaving any space is always quite hard. However, this last semester was like an iron club in pendulum motion, and every time I stood up, it hit me back down, periodically. Bashed and beaten by this semester, the approaching date of departure for my intern happened to be a date I wished upon myself faster, and hence as life is generally known to do, came crawling sl

Choices

There was a time when I'd do anything for you, When I'd trade my sleep, just so you slept without jostles, When I'd say anything I could, just to make you smile, When all my air had, were beautiful castles, That was the time when a single smile from you, Was enough to brighten my darkened day, When just to see the light of your face once, My whole life's aspirations at stake I'd lay, Then I felt the change, the cold, don't know if you felt it too, A pull from somewhere a little far, from somewhere between me and you, I went on to hold new hands and make new dreams, Held on, as some old ones came at the seams, But through all of the new as I walked here and there, I kept one thing in my mind throughout, No matter where the pulls of growing up took me, I'd keep you within my sight, without doubt, But for a second when once I looked away, To dream dreams of happiness, of freedom, of beauty, In that second some pull made you disappear, Wa

My Water Bubble

Some people think they know themselves. So well. Every facet, every thought, every reaction seems to bring no surprise. And I never was one of them. But then, I thought I had the basics right. A person who can manage fairly good in academics, quite comfortable with elocution, clumsy as hell in anything to do with sports or grace, okay at friendship, good at maintaining relationships, and really senti whenever things ended. But then, everyone's life has that moment. If you're lucky, you'll have not just one, but many of these. This moment alerts you to some change in you, some parts of you flipped inside out, to show colours which never existed on your spectrum before. This change can be a slow, subtle and calm one, or it can be a huge bang, boom and splash. The calm one is peaceful, so where's the fun in that? The banging change is the one that turns your world upside down, making everything topsy-turvy and is something every adrenaline junkie eyes. I never knew I was
