My adorable D,
Meeting you after a long pause...was caught up with life and much more. Didn't have the time to sit and reflect. But today as I am down with a nagging headache and a runny nose, I started to miss you after a long time. So much has happened in between and a lot is buried within...
But life must move on in all its shades of beauty.
As I sit still, I often stare at the void for long and then I get lost into nothingness. And I love to be in this state. I know people might find this crazy. But it's normal for me. Many of my works of poetry are borne out of this state of trance- somewhere between real and unreal- a no man's land one treads into.
It's easy and at the same time difficult to transcribe into words...you sort of feel liberated and yet cling to your reality--- a two-faceted state of existence...There have been times I didn't realize I was lost, and then suddenly a familiar voice woke me up from my stupor-quite embarrassing at times I must say. Lately, in one of my Spanish classes I had been caught off guard by my teacher who asked me what was I thinking of. And I had no answer because I don't have...
I don't know why I am writing this today. Maybe I don't have anything worthwhile to write or maybe I wanted to write about this experience...some answers are found in between-just the way we read in between the lines of poetry, a person's words which speak of something else but mean otherwise...Life is all about this NO MAN'S LAND...We all are somewhere stuck between our words and their meanings.
"words dance onto my page
create a symphony with
my orchestra of thoughts
just the way a kind face is
brought to life by the
eerie darkness of charcoal..."
Will return to you soon this time, with a new train of ideas and novelty of understanding. Till then I bid adieu as you miss me.
