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....

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

WASTED SUNSETS

No tear was shed

No heart was broken

we parted ways

we did.......so often

What was loved

and what was lost

I know not now

for it was the afterthought

What could have been

and what never was

we would never know

coz its all lost

No words spoken..

no egos wounded

a silent affair

reflections unhooded

The confines were in abandunce

Leading us astray,

The space increased with every falling raindrop

What with friends and strangers at bay.

Wasted sunsets

Never to return

Everlasting memories,

Linger to reform.

Alas! I bid farewell....

to the love that never was

and the love that could be....

but could never get across!

SEASONAL FRIENDS

They call them selves friends

And make you believe so!

But when you look into their hearts

you see a black hole!

Which kills all compassion

And swallows all the love....

What you see in the eyes

Is never on the tongue!

The facade well kempt

A heart so cold
What was the purpose
Of this tale untold



Sweet on the lips
Bitter in the eyes
What am I to see?
The love or the lies...
Such fond memories...
Such fun times
Why such petty behaviour
For no fault of mine..

Dreamed together
Of success unkown
Gazed into the sky
In search of the moon
When I turned around...
Why was I alone?

A tear was shed
Tried to move on...
But they keep coming back
And I hang on....

Momentary lapse of reason
The flame rekindled
Only to fall again
Into the pit so gelid

It could have been heaven...
But it turned into hell!
When envy crept in
How could i fortell!

DELUDED

Betrayed by the trusted one,
I roam alone, in search of the soul,
Who could stand with me against the sun,
And then i realised i need no one,
What a fool I've been that i couldn't see
The ugly spirit of envy,
How i chose to be blind for friendship's sake,
But Alas! It wasn't worth my faith,
How i thought it was a heart of gold!
For it was all a big facade.
Feigning to be a face apart....
This is how the truth unfolds!
This tale is better untold.....
