An Unfinished Poem


We both knew this poem would not be finished. It would always remain a piece of incomplete work. But, still we chose to write the first word - love - for the poem of our lives. The first word that would change our lives forever. The first word that would mean more than the last. The first word that we wrote with our souls. The first word that we would always remember. But we never thought about finishing that poem because the endings were not always beautiful. We were afraid that completing this poem would ruin its beauty, weren't we?

It was never meant to be a complete piece of art. It was broken, incomprehensible, unfinished, and a little ruthless like our love. It was like a wanderer in the forest. It resembled the journey of gipsies. It was a pearl, lost in the mighty ocean, waiting for its turn to be found.

But that unfinished poem carried our memories. The moments that we shared, the days that were spent in search of a perfect ending, the nights that we almost found a finishing line and the thoughts that were going to haunt us forever. 

But my love, we wrote each other in those lines. We carved our skins on those pages. We yelled in that ink. We screamed in that climax. But also, we loved, cared and respected each other during the dark pages.

Today, when I am writing this, I have questions for you. Do we always have to finish something that we have started? Aren't incomplete poems beautiful and full of mystery? Do we always need closure for everything? Aren't the questions carry their answers? 

Just like this blog, some things should never be completed.

  1. I'd like to answer those questions:
    1. Striving is in our hands. Fruition of putting a dot in the end of the line! Doesn't always happen.

    2. Both have their charm. We'd rather leave the question to the reader of either loving a complete one more than an unfinished....

    3. Not always. Not always in our hands

    4. Most Definitely, they do charming one.

Disappearance

 And then I try to write. To vent. To rant my heart out. But, The choices, the mistakes, the love, the regrets, the passion, the desire, the demons, the respect, the reason, the logic, the emotions - everything - seem to disappear like they never existed.  From where should I start?  There's no beginning , no ending - just a vicious cycle - that keeps on repeating over and over again . My biggest regret will always be hurting people with pure intentions. I never wanted to but somehow I always did.  How to let go of that guilt?   There's no way, right? We have to live with it till the end.  The end that has faded like our old versions. And that's why we carry that guilt each day, hoping to never make the same mistake again but somehow we always make that exact choice/decision.   Shutting people off, isolating ourselves, and not talking to anybody help?  Sylvia Plath writes, " I need a father. I need a mother . I need some older, wiser b...

Chasing Shadows

 And those eyes of yours,  Am I allowed to drown in them? Will you shed me in tears?  Or will you keep me lock and safe?  Will you open or close them? Or will you just chase my dreams? Will I be drown in the depth of your sadness? Will you catch me with all your happiness? Will you make me cry? Or will you sit beside me until my tears dry? Am I just chasing shadows? Or will you be with me in all highs and lows?

Goodbye!

I was tired. I was tired of everything. I was tired of telling them how to treat me. I was tired of begging for love. I was tired but no one could see. No one could understand. None could make me happy. I was destroying myself. I no longer wanted to remain in love, or this world or even in my home. I had lost it all but still, I kept on going, hoping that one day, it would be better. One day someone would walk into my life, hold my hands and understand me.... I hoped... But hope is a dangerous thing, it can completely ruin us. Hope is a slow poison and I was no longer interested in poisoning my mind and heart. So I left it behind. After losing it, suddenly all I had was darkness. The world seemed a distant place - a place where I could never be happy. A strange place where I could die in peace but I couldn't live... There was no point in living - with everything happening around the world, my mind was more messy. I could finally understand how the famous artists lose themselves wit...
