Emptiness

emptiness - yawning, screaming void
swallows you
embraces you
soothes you
till it becomes your only friend
relief..and peace..forever

emptiness - rely on him
never changes, shocks, disappoints
always there, waiting, confident that you would come
dive into its black hole
oblivion..and peace..forever

emptiness - each day the same
numbing, drugging sameness
dragging, clawing, sliding, hurtling
one end, one ending
death..and peace forever

Well this is amazing.. Truly amazing.. I never understood poetry.. never indulged in it.. inside or outside.. But if I dont understand this one.. it means it is good..

Shuv said...

on its 27th reading its beginning to sound really good. try it at least 26 more times..quite modestly, i think its the greatest piece of work in the 21st century..

apu - read this poem (or whatever) to deep for just 3 times (may be u can convert this in hindi). i guarantee this time you will succeed to get rid of him. but read it out softly - it might hurt your parents too and they can get rid of you.

'Peace forever'!!??
Goga goga kotha !!
Shokher pran dekho chheler...puro gorer math.
Arey raskel, oto shosta holey tow lyata chukei gechhilo.
Jonmiley moritey hobey
Moriley fer jonmitey hobey
Ebar bolo kon dikey jabey?
(ami kintu ei byaparey pakka hindu)

Negativity niey chorcha korbey abar shujog bujhey tuk korey morey shanti pawar plan bhajbey.
Umhm.... tomar tow hobeyna baba.

Emptiness (in any form)is sublime bliss man.
Think of all the things you can do to fill it up. Blessed art thou... you have the gift of time.
Look at me...........a heartfull of agendas suffering from chronic procastination courtsey acute deficiency of factor T.
No matter what I'll save & gather some.....Tomorrow I'm cooking.
