Loved and Lost

Each moment that passes by,
Increases the void and the emptiness,
That fills my heart - and it wants to cry,
Deluged in this feeling of loneliness.

Supressions

Those passing glimpses
And that hidden smile
A silent few eye contacts
Make life seem worthwhile.

Many a wishful wants
And even more desires
For that which you want
(with all your heart)
Even the universe conspires

Why is it then that wishes remain
And those passing glimpses
is all that is obtained.
And even desires from the deepest heart
Nothing is ever attained.

Introspection

With all that I have behind me
And for all that lay ahead
There is nothing that can defy me
No matter, to me, what is said.

I may at times want to quit
Which may turn out to be right.
But there is one thing for sure,
I will never go down without a fight.

But what do you do
When caught in between?
Of all that there is,
And all that has been.

Little help is rendered
irrespective of how hard you work
Even though you are dedicated
All you get is dirt.

-Myself

Solitude

Solitude they say
Is being alone
But, is it? Perspectives differ,
And it is more than
Just living with oneself, and
Sharing room, on the inside
Normally occupied by
Someone else.

It brings out the deepest desires
And minuscule thoughts
That only for a moment
Linger, and in the deepest corners are lost.
Give 'em a chance
to evolve, and just maybe,
the gravest problems, they solve.
And solitude they say
Is being lonely.

Dwindling....

If you remember my first post on this blog, and I would be really surprised if you do, I had set out to post an article at least once a week at the minimum. Evidently, I have failed miserably towards that goal. I could probably use ten other adjectives to quantify the extent of my inablity to stick to that promise, but that would be simply a waste of webspace. So I would refrain from that.

The purpose of this post is remind me of the fact that I do have a blog and I need to keep it well updated. I've been following a couple of blogs here and it is amazing how much information and (virtual) experience you can gain from an experienced person's blog. And they still find time to keep their blogs updated notwithstanding their busy schedules. Hats off to you guys.... really appreciate your contribution to the blogosphere - you are truly an inspiration; not only because you are great pilots and engineers, but also because you find time to write for us so that we may view the panoramic vista through your words.

Thank you guys. 

Carry On

When faced with mountains,

And valleys that run deep.

When the way ahead

Is apparently too steep.

Carry on….

 

When the road in front is winding

And it is not worth the trouble.

Each step that you take is tiring

And looks like there is not end to it.

Carry on….

 

What lies ahead, nobody knows,

Smooth path, sharp curves, steep climbs?

These are the paths o'er which life flows,

Do not stop but stay in the grind.

And, carry on….

The Course

(-Myself)

I don’t want to fall to pieces,

This is not the way I'd planned it to be.

All my dreams, mere delusions?

And on the surface, for everyone to see?

 

Not quite the way round,

When I thought I'd hit something - nothing was found.

Striving to be different, I have lost my way,

I wait for the wheel of fortune to turn around.

 

It is not my quality, that is me,

My choices decide what I become.

To take a different road, was what I did,

But this is different, and by a large sum!

 

To fear not, is what I plan to do,

Dear God, I put my trust in you.

You can rise above mountains,

I am sure that I will too!
