The ageing young love unlike wine...losing touch though so close...marriage because you're married..call because you have a phone. Taking for granted what you have and then having it no more. How to explain this to the common people who sense as they are sensible yet feel no more, in their emotional sloth. At the end of the day,we all stand alone..each to his own...fooling ourselves otherwise.A sea of island humanity. I can give myself to none but me. What a child i am. Dreamer. Miles to go before i sleep. How i long for it..<br /><br />Sanity is a dry place.Devoid of extremes.Safe.Quiet.Orderly.Measured response.Peaceful.<br /><br />Crazy is a crazy place.Hurt wailing.Joy screaming.Streaming.Love painfully bursting.All or none.Ssssssssh.Ssh.Not so loud:they can hear. What will they think?<br /><br />I don't need remedy.What's there to mend? Nothing's ever whole. I need that hug. I'm with you. I miss you. I can't do your bit for you but I'll watch you and know how you are, why you feel. Same for me, I hope.If you don't mind. Much better. We're alone.You. Me.Stand alone...with me.Be my friend...not spouse.That smacks of routine convenience and the utility room.What? urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:namrita_bopanna:2091 2006-01-05T15:30:15Z 2006-01-05T15:30:15Z god rest ye merry gentlemen(xmas carol) hello fellow bloggers...<br /> long time no see...<br /> no time to rhyme..<br /> no rhyme, if time..<br /> <br /> but being the new year..this 2006..<br /> i could not miss..<br /> an opportunity..this!<br /> wishing you all..<br /> cheer!...<br /> in these times of fear.<br /> <br /> resolutions..not much good..yet.<br /> how goes your resolve? do tell!<br /> inspiration i seek...<br /> mine is meek!<br /><br /> all said and done-2005 was good..gone..<br /> 2004...better! long gone..<br /> 2006...better's best? hope is the answer..<br /> optimistic, a vehicle to ride on.<br /> GOOD LUCK YE ALL! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:namrita_bopanna:1963 2005-02-07T13:32:58Z 2005-02-07T13:32:58Z what to do?
