And the mind replies !

 

*This is the reply of the mind to the earlier conversation begun by the heart !*

You know me well
well than anyone else
probably will ever,
and so do I
I know you enough
to understand
how you function

I see you watching over me,
and I feel special,
but the world out here
is cruel, and you are sensitive
and considerate
I look out for you,
believe me I do
but in ways silent and cold.

When you speak those kind
words of comfort, I do hear you.
I want to hold you tight
and break in those soft arms
but I just can’t
I hold myself back,
fearing to hurt you in ways
difficult to comprehend.

When I am stuck with
constant thinking, unable to
realise your pain
I know that you still stand by me,
just to make sure,
whenever I need, you are there
with the sound of that
comforting heartbeat.

I feel the tears, when they roll down
the pain you feel, I sense that too
I know you want me to say something,
but I don’t.
I rather take your hands in mine
to make you feel,
that you are never alone.

Your eyes begin to well up
and you just break right in my arms.
I just want you to feel better,
the way you make me do.
I see all the layers of
pain, agony and discomfort
you carry behind those eyes
unfathomable and profound.

This is the moment we share,
a moment of silence
it speaks volumes,
for I might be a strong brain
and you might be a weak heart
but none can function
if the other is not there
to support and hold.

And the heart speaks !

 

 

*This is a conversation the heart is trying to have with the mind.*

I have known you
ever since this story began
I thought you knew me too
but then you don’t.
To you,
I’m invisible.

I watch over you,
every single moment
trying to be sure
that you’re okay,
but then
you don’t see me.

I know you aren’t okay
so I call out on you
to give you some words
of comfort and care,
but no,
you just don’t hear me.

Whenever you’re down
succumbing lonely to the pain
I try to do everything
to take that frown away
but really,
you just don’t feel me.

I have looked for you
to hold me so many times now
that I have stopped the count
just wanting you to be happy
when tears are the only things
keeping me company.

Yet, somehow, you’re not aware
of me, the pain I carry,
the discomfort and agony I feel
I just don’t get it
how can’t you see
that behind this pain
is layers of suffering and hurt.

But again you don’t get it
cause, after all
to you, I’m nothing but
just a weak heart.

Truth !

The journey, while we travel
searching to understand
making sense of the signs
as an energy, divine and celestial
illuminating our mind,
the minds, which are sceptical at times
weary and tired of constant struggles
facing the failures and falling hard.

But perceiving the truth is the reality
recurring rocky roads, tiresome and unpleasant
is the universal placing to decode
the greener path on the other side.
Realisations, awakening and enlightenment
minds trained to acquire strength
to take along, finding the real light.

Exquisite love !

But I wonder sometimes
why it had to be you, then
then i say to myself
I’m in love with your warm embrace
this gorgeous face and the strong presence
but it was your complex mind
it always had been
that ticked me always
kept me on toes
and the beautiful thoughts
it engenders
always made me weak in the knees
racing my heart,
to a point of destruction
leading to a creation
most alluring.

Peculiar !

The familiarity of being lost,
is where her heart began finding comfort
the irony being peculiar
of her falling in love with the freedom
of never being found,
not even by her own-self,

For once, in her life
living quietly, she was
without her mind making noises
free was her heart,
at least for a moment, from
the noises of homesickness
and the sound of saudade.

with her contemplative eyes,
on the forlorn moon
thoughts kept on invading her heart
but the path to her mind was blocked
as for once, she was lost
and she was free, at the same time
from being found.

Wicked !

 

What is this feeling
pressing in my chest
a feeling, so feeble
yet prominent.
something bigger than imagined
taking over my heart.

I wonder, how could it be, for my mind
not being able to comprehend,
loosing the rational part
of the brain
when its the heart that’s worried
with a tiny concern as it looks
yet too large for its never dormant.

you fight and fight and fight
yet your heart always wins
imagining the worst of possibility
that feeling, right there
grabs you, chokes you and finally
shrinks you to the smallest bit.

I asked my heart, what is it
that’s deceiving me,
with all these thoughts preposterous
the heart, calming me down
whispered, anxiety my dear.
the wickedest of all feelings
is what is it.

Fulcrum !

Don’t you fret, for I’m here
And I’ll always be here,
to let you know, that you’re loved
showing how my world revolves around
the fulcrum, that you are

Yes, I will be here
for you to know, that
no matter the burden
big or small,
you’ll always find me right beside you
walking together, even when the path is
brutal, and life throws vexed questions.

and when the nights get longer
and the darkness surrounds you,
when the sleep, deceives you
rendering restlessness and anxiety
i’ll be right there to hold you
to sing you to sleep
and comfort you, with my embrace
telling you how, we will get through it

For the pain and agony
just like the smile and laughter
remember we are shared partners
through the thick and through the thin
and in sickness and in health,
for my weary mind, never leaves your side
even when distance puts us aside

you don’t have to be alone,
cause I’d always stretch my hand
for you to hold it, for there is nothing
in the world that will change the fact
that for you,
i’ll travel every hard and aching mile, and
the fire of love isn’t ever gonna burn and fade

So just leave your pain and worry aside
hold me tight,
cause I’m never gonna leave your side
holding you till the sun shine brights
from near, or from far I’ll be there
to look for the thoughts in which you are.

Inevitable !

There is a feeling

as much it is inevitable

it is scary,

Change, the only truth,

the only constant as they say,

Things are going to change

days will pass, and the season will change

time will pass, and people will change

so will the situations and circumstances

yet, i’m not sure whether i’m ready

the sinking feeling, the pit in the stomach

escalates one second at a time.

I’m afraid of this feeling

this feeling of something approaching

too fast for you to decipher it,

just your body signalling you, for something that’s coming,

while all you can do is, breathe and wait, helplessly

for it to either destroy the pieces of you, 

that you built ardently for years,

or  take you to  a beautiful world of happy change

where love and strength are your steady companions.

Trance !

 

The songs I listen,

unlock the door,

leading to the memories,

we created together.

The lyrics draw a picture,

where a state of trance,

becomes my reality,

for I can do nothing more,

but to let my mind slowly drift away,

in a world; 

different and afar,

a world,

where you are, 

a world

where ‘we’ are !

Irony !

 

Blank and empty,

One, an emotion;

Other, a state of mind;

complimenting each other,

intricately enough,

making a poetry,

filled with melancholy,

making the heart,

ironically enough,

seek comfort

in the void,

which once needed,

a touch of affection,

and a tint of love,

for letting the heart

feel tranquillity.
