ACHILLES' HEART

This is in fond memory of the movie troy--yep Brad Pitt! d guy amazes me everytime I see the movie! he is defi a greek god...n not only tht he acts sooo well tht i dont think tht ne1 els could play tht part better thn him.d way he fights..d way he talks! damn!.im sure ul agree! ya! I'm totally in love with him!:P n i also love the movie bcoz its a love story...of Achilles n Briseis..which is what Ive written about..neway...here goes...

Hath sent Eudorous home
For he had his own battle to fight
Priam had taken Breseis
And he couldn't leave his love behind

They burnt down troy for greed and pain
But now there stood a changed man
Whose sacrifices all had gone in vain
For the coward Paris struck him in the heel
And the mighty Achilles dropped his sword

"You gave me peace in a lifetime of war"
He said to his beloved and kissed her farewell
Love made the great Achilles fall
Who said it was his heel?
Twas his beating heart...the fall

The fall of all men is same
He was no different, even with that name
For the same heart beats a thousand times
But with love in it...it makes you blind

Blind to the evil, to the sins of the world
Blind to that lonely brute who unfurled
Ironic it may be
For love was the reason for the war...
..And love itself was the outcome of war!

When comes such another Achilles
With love in his heart
And revenge on his sword
For the world needs a leader and another story to be told!

UNBORN RECOVERY

You are with me, and so you say...

Yes,

You are there...

Between the pages of my books,

In between my files,

At the back of my mind,

In front of my eyes,

During the boring lectures,

During the fun breaks,

During the sad nights,

During the euphoric times...

Inside my cellphone,

In my PC

Your there everywhere,

Even in the big corner of my heart,

In the tears that follow,

In the smiles that lead..

In the midst of sorrow,

In the wound that bleeds,

You wake me in the morning..

You kiss me goodnight,

You close my eyes to surprise me,

You hate to despise me,

You love me...like the cloud to the sky

You love my every gesture

You love my every cry

You are there to protect me,

You are there to revive...

That old flame of happiness,

That old flame of love,

Which made us forget all barriers

Which took us far above

of the trance like, stagnant world we live in

To the haven of love and peace

For you are there with me forever...

.......Forever...until we fade....

But is this a figment of my imagination

Or is it the stark truth?

For you are there.......there...where I can never stay

You are far away...at a distance...

Breaking the ties we made

You are there....where i cant see you,

For even your shadow has began to fade

But I still lie...amidst the memories....numb...waiting for you to recover

For i have taken refuge...in the remains of those sunny days and bright blue skies...

Which made us fall in love....

WHAT IS IT?

It gives us life and the serene blissfulness

Of a new day

It gives us peace and with it beauty lies

In its calm and psychedelic trance.

The mild wind plays with it,

Gives it, its ferocious form

The wind makes it move to its own tune

Swaying to its increasing momentum.

The branches bow low in honor

Of the majestic stance they feel

Overwhelmed by the power of giving

For it gives us all it has and takes away our fears...

Washes away our sins

And leaves us pure..

Like the gold in the hands of an alchemist!

Some Day!

Happy Children's Day is what they all wish you...with a huge smile and all that jazz....and the very next moment you are reminded (with a huge growl) "you are not a child anymore...grow up!! i don't understand when you will leave behind all these juvenile habits of yours !" (yea....heard it too many times havnt u? girlfriends, boyfriends, mothers, fathers, teachers, all of them use this very same line....i mean....Get original people!!! Shakespeare dada is cursing you from his grave!)

And if not that then its the parents...who come in and start playin their all time fav responsibility-responsibility game...
I mean how difficult is it to just loose control...forget bout all your worries for a while....have some fun..(n give two hoots bout what others are gonna think yaar)...its not necessary to go bonkers over what those "others" are gonna think....for all you know they are not even looking at you...i mean...they have stuff to do you know...they r all busy in their own sweet world.....they arnt there jus to gape at you!....And even if they are....don't tell me your not enjoyin the attention!:P (like i would love to wear superman's costume and jump from one table to another in some coffee day:P with a pal dressed up as batman of course! ony thing is they might ban us from ther:( sheesh! talk about Freedom of expression!)
Anyway getting back to my point....all of us already hav sooo many worries,deadlines,jobs, more worries...bosses, teachers, student, siblings boyfriends ;) (dat reminds me...some more worries :P)....and to top it all we do have mothers :D...(lol no offence...but u know what i mean....when it rains..it pours!! all d "you still havnt done this...that....that too...omg!how cud u forget this!...u r soo dead...n it goes oooonn) and amidst this fast and furious life of ours we forget how precious our one little moment is...and how we leave out every moment unsavoured worrying about the next one...sad i know...but that is exactly what we morons do!

so....finally comin back to my point...let dat cute lill kid (ok fine! dat sadistic lill brat) inside you come out and have a ball...you gonna get belted anyway!....so why not have some fun while its pouring? ;)

TOPSY TURVY

One minute on top of the world

Another downtrodden and scarred

One minute loved and caressed

Another hated and destroyed

In this topsy turvy world

of love, none can survive !

It kills you slowly and steadily

Like the grip of an enormous serpent

It takes your breath away for a bit

And then your decision you repent!

Its as tempting as Eve's apple

Which Satan had to her given

And once you've sunk your teeth in it

You'll never be forgiven !

Tis but a curse that will haunt you forever

And tease you with tempting sights

But when you try to reach out to it

It jumps upfront and bites!

Good lord! what hath I done to thee?

What norm changed, what woman scorned?

Why did i fall into this trap reformed

I cannot live....I cannot die..

I only count my days to cry

How I've learnt my lesson

For looks hath been deceptive

A sweet li'll fairytale

Turned into a disaster! :(

THE SPIRIT OF BLISS

It moves slowly inside you

Like the omnious clouds of monsoon

And fills you with a distant happiness

From the dreams that never came true

It elevates you for a moment

And then you drift on your own

In this new psychedelic and unreal world of bliss

You grab my hand to pull me back

But i want to stay awake...

I want to see the hateful reality

Of the cruel life i see.

But i cling to you for love

The love that I never recieved

The love that i always dreamed of

The love that could never be percieved.

I want to get dissolved in the spirit

I want you to take charge

I want to lie on the soft green grass

And forget my ugly unfateful past

I wish to forget the moments

That werent spent in your arms

I wish to see the clear blue sky

But the clouds don't let me pass

AZURE

A new thought

A new life

A new face

A new light

Some dreams come true

Some fade to blue

A passel of emotions

A vial of love

A tie so beautiful

Makes her aglow

Like a ray of sunshine

On a mountain full of snow

The sky opens a window

The palms sway with joy

The wind kisses her cheek

And the raindrops greet her by day

She sits by the lake

Fresh from a reverie

She goes back in time

Some moments treasured

some moments awaited

The game that life plays

Makes her heart ache!

The irony of life

Brings a sad smile

The eyes swim with saddness

It brings an unwelcome pain

Reality strikes with all its might

It brings with it melancholic bliss

But the joy of this bond

Overcomes the bitter truth

Running on the sands of time she falls

And waits for the creatures of love to call

She shares her dreams and lets it all

Out from the depths of heart befall

Strings of affection

Gripped her soul

A thriving fire

And a single flame of desire
