Life, As We Know It, Is An Unresolved

Memories

You left me a while ago,

Living in darkness for so long,

Do I realise

My conscience still lingers to your touch

Those kisses and hugs still reside in my heart

Those silly conversations about everything & anything

From the moon and the back

From eternity and beyond

Everything ingrained deep in my mind

Now, I live with the memories

Touching my soul, as no one can

You Are Amazing

It happened once again. She saw that dream again, though not an actual dream but a terrible nightmare. She found herself at the same place, debilitating. Where nothing was visible, only darkness prevailing at everything. She was crying and screaming for help, but nobody came to rescue her.

She heard that people often help girls if they are in need of it, but nobody came for her. Why? Was it because she was not beautiful? Or maybe because she was not fair as a girl should be? She cried over and over again, wandering everywhere on the streets, reaching for myriads of people, asking them to help her, but nobody gave a damn about her. She was devastated, yet hoping that she would be alright like all the happy people used to be. Days had passed, but her situation was getting worse than before. Nothing good was happening to her.

Maybe because she was so irreparable that no solution seemed reasonable to her. But one fine day, she met a few people. People who suffered a lot in their life. Instead of lamentation, they were living their lives like a hero, believing they had won battles. Battles, that made them the great people they wanted to be. Those moments exchanged with them gave her hope to deal with her pain. With each passing day, she was becoming more powerful, both mentally and physically. A new believer, acknowledging that everything would be okay if only she learned how to fight like a warrior. Then one fine day, she saw herself standing in front of a door. A door she had never seen before. Never in any dream or in a nightmare. Surprisingly, she did not remember how she reached there. A door which was shining brighter than anything she had ever seen in her life. She was striding ahead to reach the doorknob. As she opened the door, it became impossible to see what was lying there. But suddenly the light was starting to get fainter, and then she finally saw that that light was coming from a mirror. A beautifully carved mirror that she once saw in an antique shop.

As soon as she touched it, that mirror evolved into HER. It was impossible to believe for the human eye, but that mirror started to speak. It said, “Beauty always resides in you. It does not matter whether you are rich or poor, dark or fair, tall or short. Remember that you are precious. What you have, nobody else has ever had. Be who you are. If you ever try to be like someone else, then you will lose the charm you have. People are depressing themselves with the things they can never have. It is better for you to be happy with what you have right now. If you cry for the things you never had, how will you enjoy and cherish the things to have? Life is a mixture of appreciating small moments that stay with us till we die. Live your life to the fullest, not just drag your days to death. You never know when death will take you. Work hard, have faith and achieve anything, and everything good in life.”

Your touch is inexplicable,

Taking me to places I have never been,

Giving me the jittery feelings I have never felt,

It is all magical until it lasts,

Until I am not awake,

Until I am floating in a river of dreams.

Looking at the present government,

I realised why Socrates hated democracy!🤷🏾‍♀️

No matter how old it gets, No matter how much people hate it, But it’s always be my personal favourite ❤️

How can we disregard the magnificence of messy handwritten letters,

The attractiveness of bouquets of handpicked flowers wrapped in a newspaper,

The magic of stargazing in the night, lying somewhere in the park,

The mystery in roaming around in the museum, admiring the out-of-the-world art, finding something new in overlooked pieces,

The admiration to hold onto something nostalgic & wretched,

The tragic history of forlorn love,

The tale of forgotten people,

The art of letting things go that shatter the soul for so long,

To wait eagerly for the long-lost passion,

To have everything all at once,

To be the old soul without the care in the world,

To live peacefully for once in life…

I want to run away,

With someone in the middle of the night,

And go on adventures,

And see the world,

And eat at cheap truck shops,

And sit on top of the car,

And look at the stars,

And just be somewhere other than here...

I feel homesick,

It's not the first time this feeling is engulfing me,

Drenching my soul with the same whirlwind of emotional turmoil,

I am tired,

Exhausted, in the process of discovering a place called home,

Where I can be happy and at peace,

A place, that holds a promise of delight,

Where I can be wild and free,

I feel this home is out there in the wilderness,

Calling me,

But it's elusive,

It feels like I am chasing the beloved moon,

I know it is there in front,

Ready to be touched and felt,

But still far far from reach,

No matter how close I get to it,

It slipped from my hand,

Like sand in a desert,

I can't hold it,

It's sinking away into oblivion,

And I start feeling homesick, again.

I heard this song first when I was the biggest fan of Twilight.

I mean who wouldn’t be? It was played in the background when Edward proposed Bella for marriage.

Don’t get me wrong, but it was dreamy at that time!

Though at that time, I listened this song just for the sake it being in the playlist of Twilight’s Song List.

But as the time has passed, this song makes more sense (or at least to me).

I can understand this song in a better way, and can absorb the lyrics too.

Besides, it has the voice of Sia, so you know what you’re getting into.

Please do let me know, what are your thoughts about this song✌🏾
