The TakeR of sOuLs

I walk across the deserted land in search of dreams I once called my own...
shattered to a thousand pieces...in which i see a reflection...my own..

The winds of destiny push me afar...
Alas! I'm only a traveler in time...
The clock of fate ticks against my broken heart...
I seek a place to hide this pain.

There at a distance I see him come...
his black cloak flows sweeping away my pain...
in one hand he carried an hour glass...
in the other a Scythe.

He looks at my broken soul and whispers...
'Your time has come...'
he places the hour glass in my hand...
I look at it to see that the top part is bare and the bottom part full.

I smile...for this is the last time I will know worldly pain...
he has come to take my soul...
Ah! I have waited for thee...
I will reap as I have sown.

Darkness imprisons me!

The UNknown

The unknown places that I've been,
The unknown faces that I've seen.

The unknown hearts that I've touched,
The unknown hearts that I've crushed.

The unknown voices that I've heard,
The unknown whispers that I've feared.

The unknown dreams that I've dreamt,
The unknown time that I've spent.

The unknown shadows that I've followed,
The unknown souls that I've hollowed.

The unknown tears that I've shed,
The unknown mouths that I've fed.

The unknown truth that I seek,
The unknown fears that make me weak.

The unknown....*sighs*....remains inside of me!
The unknown of unknowns.

"Good-Bye"

There I was, standing at the airport....
Why is 'Good-bye' so hard to say?

My heart couldn't stop saying 'she'll be back'....she ran up to me after her baggage check-in..

I stared at her....those beautiful curls entwined against one another...her eyes were filled with happiness (she was going back home to her family) yet, I could see that there was something they wanted to tell me...

Everything about her is what I always wanted...and I wanted it for a life time...a life time of love which is so PRECIOUS...

The time came to say good-bye...tears filled my eyes as I watched her walk away...far away...and even farther....till only nothing but her warm kiss remains....Now I had to wait for her....

It seemed like ages though only a few hours had passed...TRING_TRING....there it was...'Oh legs run...RUN'..."hello"...Ah! it was that lovely voice....we talked for hours....day and night I would just wait for her to call me....

Days went by and time flew...her calls were less and somehow my head & heart were having constant battles....its become a month now with no calls at all from her...I try to call and the number does not exist....I waited patiently....Oh God! where did I go wrong?...

Months went by.....'NO CALLS'....A year passed...one day as I was checking my mail box, a letter with a familiar handwriting got my attention....

WOW!!! it was her...I didn't know whether to cry or laugh...I opened the letter with trembling hands...my head was spinning...I could hear my heart pounding....butterflies in my stomach...it read....

" I LOVE YOU....BUT....GOOD-BYE"

Then it all came back to me....her eyes this is what they were trying to say....

"Good-bye"

Why is 'Good-bye' so hard to say?

With unanswered questions & hatred for LOVE...i remain...

Zeus

I feel in love the first time i saw you...
You came in and all my sadness went away...
You made me proud in every way possible...

When i was sad you knew exactly how to cheer me up...
You greeted me with a hug and a slurp...
You learned everything i taught you...without any complaints...
You welcomed all my friends like they were your own...

You changed my world Zeus...
Today i wish upon every star that you were next to me...

I still remember your reaction when you saw Snehin...
You couldn't wait to pounce on him...
Peeping through the window into our bed room just to have a glimpse of our new member...
Oh my! how i wish you were here...

People have made fun of us Zeus...
Mocked our bond...
They asked me 'how can you love an animal so much?'...
Only if they knew that you were the only one...through thick & thin...

I love you more and more everyday...
You are away from me and yet are inseparable...
My eyes get full everyday thinking how can i get you back....
I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU....
If there was anything more i could say...

I remain...

Death

She lay there looking the way she did on her wedding day....
wrapped in a white dress made just for her...
i wondered if it was just me or is she really so pretty...

As I sat by her.. memories rushed back....
She was dancing the first time i saw her....
My heart was racing against time and i was sweating...
She didn't even notice me but, I wouldn't stop staring....
days went by and i kept my distance from her....
gradually we became friends...
Best friends....for life

All the time we spent together....
Kissing and cuddling...
sharing everything in our life....
fighting and laughing over the silliest things in life....
it has all been gifted to me...
I'm so proud to know that I'm the ONE...

Today she leaves me...for good...
If only i could get another lifetime with her by my side....
I would never stop saying 'I LOVE YOU'....
She leaves me today and that is a fact i have to accept and live with...

I smile everyday thanking God for the time i had with her....

A month has passed and i would like to complete my fathers diary...
Today he will lay next to mum...
the last words he said were...I LOVE YOU ANGEL....

A fathers tale...

Name - Robert...loved ones call me Bob...
Age - 32, single / Writer...
Dream - to save a life...
Ambition - spread a message...

She came into my life when she was five...
her tiny hands clinging onto mine...
her eyes where full of questions....
hope, anxiety, fear...a mixture of everything...
She got close to me..an inseparable part of my life...

She grew..bold and beautiful...
time had no limits...
at the blink of an eye...she was 18...
she flew high...she was everything a father could ask for...
she made me the proudest person ever...

One day she said 'Papa i wanna go in search of my dreams'...
I said nothing...I let her go...
I had expected nothing and given my all...
Isn't that what love is all about..'Letting go & giving your everything'...
She left and i felt abandoned...

Days became weeks...weeks became months...and months became years...

One pleasant morning...as i got back from my morning walk..
a very familiar smell was in my hall way...
I didn't want to jump into conclusions...so i waited
There she was...the most beautiful thing in my life...
My sweet Emily...all grown up...

She hugged me and kissed me on my forehead...
'Welcome back'...is all i could say...
I greeted her into our old home...
Her face lit up with the smell of baked muffins...
She ran to the kitchen and grabbed some...
mmmmmmm...is all i could hear...a smile was stamped on my face...

Suddenly, i heard a bell...
What was this...annoying sound...

I woke up to the alarm...Alas it was all a dream...
my heart broke into a thousand pieces...

the news on the radio killed me...

'There was a horrible accident at Edmond this morning. A young girl named Emily Robinson aged, 21 was found dead...'

I couldn't hear anything else after that...


Name - Robert
Age - 48,Single / writer
Dream - to meet Emily
Ambition - none

The above note was found next to the body of Mr. Robert. He committed suicide on the day his daughter passed away.

|Case closed.|

My comment:

'If you love something, Let it go.
If it comes back to you. It is yours.
Else it never was'

In this story i leave it to the readers....

Me

Oh my!!! *Deep breath* This is my first time on a blog....never had the courage to even think of starting one...but then a friend of mine gave me a push and my husband encouraged me that's when i decided to stop hiding...Okay let me start with 'who am I?'...

Well another average person who lives life with the hope that someday I'll be rich...*Pauses*

*Laughs Out Loud*

Nah!! I'm a person who is in search of one thing...the thing that's means a lot to me....'TRUTH'...
as a child I used to commit a lot of.. err ...lets say unwanted mess...I used to lie a lot, break every single rule, disturb my mom and dad, threaten my neighbors kids, hide guests shoes...you name it...my mom was fed up with me...she didn't know where did she go wrong.....in school my so called 'friends' termed me WEIRD....for them i was not normal...but can anyone define what normal is....beats me...

I wouldn't want to bore you with my childhood memories hence, i skip that part...hey wait i have to let my readers know this...the day i saw 'Tare Zamain par', that's when i saw my self in it...Ishan Avasthi...*smiles*

I was another Ishan...I had my own imagination....I would talk to walls, dogs, cows, sheep anything and everything...I had fairies in my sleep and dragons...animals could fly...pretty unicorns would be around...people thought that i was...let me not beat around the bush...'INSANE'...my loved ones termed me 'hyperactive child'....deep down i didn't know what to do or say....I just loved being my self....

As i look back in time i have nothing to hold close to my heart except a few memories,friends and all the pets that i have had....Today i have a child and he is junior me...*Laughs*...no complaints and no demands....i want him to be the way he is...

This is just an introduction about my self...crazy me and my stories....I'm not an entertainer but i will try to tell you my story in a very simple and brief way...I'm not much into poems but will definitely try...everything i write comes from my life experiences or from some who are close to me....the truth as i know is the most difficult thing to deal with hence, my search is never ending....

I would like to brief on the name given to this blog...the jewels are my experiences and the crown well, that would be my life...

Hope that in the coming days i will be able to bring a smile to a few faces....

*Smiles* *Winks*
