Tacit Tenaciousness...

1/1/2010, Friday...

Around a decade ago,
In a corner of my heart,
something started ticking with a low frequency.
While some brushed it off as a contingency,
some called it as a juvenile delinquency..

The pedagogues couldn't correct me,
the expoundings never worked
and the chastenings got chucked.
But somewhere on the outside of my inside,
the spectre of 'utopia' grew heavy
and engulfed me into its frigid sodden exhaustions
and i started walking to the tunes,
of some unknown piper's illusionary notions..

The 'tickings' inside my heart went on,
and the frequency kept decreasing.
I was running out of batteries,
but still kept buying those insidious lotteries..

The 'radiant' grocery stores sell them still,
but i've stopped splashing my leftover cash..

Around a decade ago,
In a corner of my heart,
something started ticking with a low frequency.
While some brushed it off as a contingency,
some called it as a juvenile delinquency..
I didn't get it back then,
and let it flow with the stream.
But now i know what it was,
and i can smell the sublime steam,
emanating from my dream.
It was my dream..
............my dream...


I don't know what 've i written and why 've i done that. I don't know if anyone can ever interconnect my sporadic thoughts.I don't know if someone will ever try to. But do i care ?? ... i never did... and i still don't...

Only if the unknown piper could read it..
Do you realize what a masterpiece you have created out of a momentary dream.. a decade ago, half forgotten momentary dream rather.
Beautiful...!

beautifully woven. Maybe the fact that you don't kwo what you have written is what gives your writing a certain appealing edge.

Have a super duper 2010.
