Sea

This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 30; the thirtieth edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton.

Everyday I go to a beach
and find the sea so calm
A sight so priceless
and costs no more than an alm

How can something be so moving
and still be so picture still
It has so many stories inside
and still it finds a space to fill

Its like the children playing here
They relish each moment even when they run
Infecting everyone with their hope and energy
They look so serene even when they have fun

I look away and see a man walking
probably to find peace before the bed
But his steps are brisk as if in hurry
probably matching the thoughts in his head

I want to share my most precious thing
which I will give to you free
Its my understanding of the life
which took my life's quarters three

Do your best in whatever you do
But in the present always be
Do not run on beach like you run on life
But stop, watch and talk to the sea

    Yes, we should pay heed to not only the sea but especially everything thats around us and stop the run. Tough, but yes :)

    ATB!

    Do stop by my blog! Cheers - Kappu

    Stop, watch and talk to the sea - so very important. Water always has had a way of soothing me. So I can totally relate to this! ATB for BAT!

    I like the way that your poem progresses,... and I enjoyed its rhythm and rhyme, much like the constant lapping of the waves on the shore. Beautiful...:0

    Oh, loved the rhyme.. and the poem. Really liked 'life's quarters three' bit.

    I felt last stanza could be better... like - more hitting types! Finishing with a bang types. But a great poem nonetheless. I had fun reading it.

Lost Love

When the breeze rushes past me it whispers something in my ear. Can't make out the words it says but the voice I know too clear. And along with that voice it brings the scent I love so much. And then it caresses my bare skin and I remember that touch. You said I don't feel anything but baby thats not fair. I feel you in everything even in emptiness of the air. I remember the day when we had that fight. You walked out on me forever when I refused to accept I wasn't right. But now that you are gone I realize that I was wrong. Please come back to me baby I can no more pretend to be that strong. Please return to me girl I'll show you how I feel. My heart is just a heart its not made of steel. Baby just forgive me for once and give me just one more chance. I've felt the way you said I've felt the magic in romance. Now I'll be all open with you I'll never try to hide. I'll let the moment knock me out I'll let my...

WHY do you need THE ONE?

After the previous blog, I had a discussion with another of my friends and his question was Why do you need THE ONE? Are you getting desperate? My reply was that it was only an answer to the question formed by the environment around me. But then there's no incident that happen by itself. There's always a thinking behind it. Maybe, just maybe, the society reiterating its point again and again of necessity of marriage made a small puncture through my defenses. And thanks to my friend, am back to square one. Why do we need THE ONE? If you can be in love with yourself whole your life, if you can be independent enough to do whatever you like to, why is there a need for any other person. This need arises when you start feeling alone with yourself. You stop feeling good about yourself and need an external source to reaffirm your belief that you are a good person and are enjoying your life. Now that thought is laughable. How does one lose his self belief to such an extent that he r...
