Rings of Smoke

Where shall the word be found, where will the word | Resound? Not here, there is not enough silence

the lost world-reprised (or why does this always happen?)

Posted on | January 21, 2008 | Comments Off

pictures are gloomy,
and even the sun is hiding now,
the world is changing..

plastic smiles and fake pleasures,
smoky countenances of a hidden sadness,
the loss of innocence dredged up,
floating like scum on the surface of life,
the acrid stench of failure,
an experiment gone terribly wrong,
a stillborn foetus,
a patient dead on the operating table,
hope cut off in midbreath,
a loss undefined,
constant companions…

what is life,and what is its meaning?
redundant questions with no answers,
and the body becomes a vestigial appendage,
to touch,but not to feel,
to look but not to see,
to speak,but not to say..
meaningless words,things surrounding..
happiness,joy,life,friendships,relations,
constant companions..clamour of an unrestful mind..

the feeling of unbeing,
a surreal debauchery committed on the soul,
rejection of hypothesis that fit all equations,
unreasoning,nonsensical..existence…
i float around idiotically in this muck,
catching hold of the pieces,shaping together..
fragments of lost dreams,
the world was changing..changed..
and this zigsaw of complex interactions,
and simplistic theories,
obstinately mundane,and devastatingly significant..
blindly i thrash my hands,
in empty space,one with emptiness,
looking around for the lost world…

  • About The Line under the Blog Name

    The lines generally are from some poem which I have, at some point of time or the other, loved. I do not mean, by including them, to be snotty or pretentious- but I would love it if you could identify the lines, and take much joy if you were interested enough to search them and read the original poems. If not- you can ignore them.
