The Shadow!

Had receded into d inner recesses of my mind sum day..

Then somehow i lost the way..

And also the will..

May be i lacked d desire.. or just d skill..

M now just a shadow of the past..

Lost.. distorted.. distant.. n dark..

Sunless smiles.. fading blood smears..

Moderate hatred.. logical fears..

Words fail to reach it.. pain to penetrate..

Is this reason to cry out loud? or to celebrate?

Weird that even in this oblivious stupor

She can feel your jagged warm breath??

Will this result in her re-birth or d final death!

Is your love potent enuf to heal .. to revive??

True enuf to bring d specter back to light.. to love.. to life??

reflections!

2010..

a year of dreams..

some realized.. some shattered!

a year of promises..

some fulfilled.. some broken n battered!

a year of love..

both lost.. n new!

a year of words..

spoken.. unspoken.. false.. some true!

a year of hope..

sometimes dead.. sometimes unfailing!

a year of faith..

sometimes deep-rooted.. sometimes ailing!

of learning.. pain.. growth.. n lessons..

of yearning.. longing.. separations.. obsessions..

of light.. darkness.. secrets.. n confessions..

of miles.. distance.. of bridging gaps..

of myriad colors.. of grays.. n blacks..

of anxiety.. malady.. agony.. resilience..

of trials n tribulations.. achievement.. n experience..

of tranquility..solitude..lassitude..n flames..

of flesh.. blood.. bones.. n names..

of friendly strangers.. n strange friends..

a year that's gone.. yet one that never ends..

a year which over time n space transcends..
