I am a fool again
Left looking open-mouthed at the thunder that you are
You came into my life disguised as the cool summer breeze
You said there wont be a storm anymore
You made me want to be a fool again
So here I am
Standing under a shady tree
Waiting for the sun to set
Making amends for the lost time
But I guess there’s no turning back
Because you made me want to live again
To test my limits and love again
I let you be a part of me for a while
I began to accommodate you
In the mess I was
I thought you sat there
And tried to find your comfort
I began to find the loose ends
And some things began to make sense
You came with a lamp in your hand
And left me with a flicker of hope
No you can’t take that flicker from me
You can’t turn back the time
You made me love myself again
You’ve left your imprint behind
And now it cannot be wiped
For I am a fool again
But the joke’s on you too
Coz there’s no way you left
Without a little grimace
Without a little darkness to replace your flicker
So tell me why you had to leave
And I’ll tell you why you should’ve stayed
We’ll talk until the morning shines
Upon our separate ways
Then silently walk down our paths
Till somebody walks into our lives
And holds our hands and says
Come, let us be fools again

wow - fabulous.
i can't understand for the life of me as to where you can find the words and such clear thoughts to write with such preciseness.
my head's almost always too cluttered (and i think i speak for most of us common lot out here) with unorganised train of thoughts - jumping around topics / subjects like monkey's do on branches - lol
wonderful; and thank you - awaiting ur next writing.
I wept for us.
I decided that i would not give up.
because i knew that for the feelings that i had for her,
because i knew the way i looked at her,
felt & thought for her were also because they were all directed towards someone who was divine on earth
& who will remain divine in my heart till the last breath of my life
& for once i want to believe in reincarnation
so that i can look at her just the way i looked at her in this life
& so what if she goes away from me again & again & again!!
She is forever!! to me!! wid me!! for me!!.
very very nicely written...first tym on your blog n m amazed n surprised....
"Words put a whole new sense in the meaning of meanings cause there is no meaning without words" and urs do no injustice to the above phrase, is sum bullshit i can think of :p
keep it up, luv u
. melancholic..
I love you is always present continuous...
I loved you is a farce....
Love can never be used in Past or Future tense..
That we do these days.. is an endorsement of the fact that we are too confused about what we want from our life..
I think so.. don't you?
My my my ... how do u do this? write so beautifully that is. u know i always thought pain elicits beautiful poetry from one's self but these days i find myself so handicapped...it has been ages that i have written a poem. Now, what i read on ur blog inspires me so much...i want to pick up a pen right now n write...hope i can come up with something.
As for you, keep it up...u write wonderfully well. Just reading ur words is some sort of a catharsis for me. i will have to visit ur blog often.:)
-Krishna
hey... many months since i first read this poem, i found myself typing it in google blog search.
very few writings have pulled me to them like this has.
fool again - a beautiful exploration of naive innocence, and the beauty of it..
