Sometimes...

Sometimes, I savour the serenity of solitude. 
Sometimes, I lament the lackluster loneliness. 

Sometimes, I cry in the dark - all alone, engulfed by fear.
Sometimes, I find solace only deep within the darkness. 

Sometimes, I feel I was terribly betrayed 
                             - my love never reciprocated.
Sometimes, I understand I was the one 
                             who betrayed many innocent hearts.

Sometimes, I think I have been wronged 
                            - the world has been very unkind.
Sometimes I realise I am over sympathetic 
                             to myself and harsh to mankind.

Sometimes, I break promises I made to 
                            my most loved ones and to myself.
Sometimes, I keep promises to them, 
                           whom I once considered insignificant.

Sometimes, I dance to the melody of a 
                           non existent rhythm in the noise.
Sometimes, I complain of a pseudo noise 
                           in a flawless random rendition.

Sometimes, I push myself in to that which,
                I have over the years avoided to venture into. 
Sometimes, I toil to pull myself out of that into which, 
                I once very enthusiastically plunged. 

Sometimes, I pursue that which,
                  for years I have consciously avoided. 
Sometimes, despite having arrived at the destination 
                 I passionately pursued for long, 
                I choose to walk into the wilderness of uncertainty.

Sometimes, I wonder if it is all a dream. 
Sometimes, I am reminded it is all a life.

Love: Selfish or Selfless?

The angel and devil were contemplating on the nature of love -
"Being in love is selfless," said the angel.
"Being in love is selfish," retorted the devil.
"When you love someone, you live your entire life for those loved ones and not for your own self. You give up on your individual identity."
"All during your life, you love to satisfy your own need of being loved. Striving simply to satisfy a selfish psychic drive."
"When you love, you take up the responsibilities of those you love."
"As you love, you limit your responsibilities to only those you love."
"You have never experienced true love, that's why you know not what it is."
"As if you have experienced, true love is only a perspective, never in existence."
"Come, fall in love, discover how the self looses itself in the universe as does the drop in the ocean."
"Come, fall out of love, discover how the self was blinded by its assumptions of the horizons of the universe."

Stay forever?



Before her smile, turned into laughter
She was compelled to shed a tear.
Will her innocence stay the same ever?
 
Then a smile, now in pain - a cry.
Again shall she surely jump in joy,
'Cause that is how fast time does fly.
