As Alive As Dead

As soon as I open my eyes They scatter away –my dreams No matter how hard I try I can’t put my finger on them The good, the bad, the ugly As soon as I open my eyes They scatter away The scenes that played out, the memories, fade away The feelings remain The bad ones stay a bit longer There are so many of them And all so vivid, but As soon as I open my eyes They scatter away I lie in the sandpit Every grain has a story I try to collect them As soon as I close my fist They scatter away

So, as I was saying, it has been some time since my last blog. I have decided to start afresh. Hence a new blog. I will be posting here soon.

It has been quite some time since I posted on the good old blogspot. The microblogging fad has kept me busy and yes the task of earning money does eat your time. Many a times have I wished to return to the blogosphere..but the inherent laziness always wins. I can't say if I am back or not. Let's see.

In a rush to survive, you forget to breathe Your mind, clogged with trivial matters, doesn’t see the bigger picture The sky is blocked behind the towering skyline and polluted air Swimming among the sea of people You lose the sense of direction, purpose You become just another swimmer Forgetting who you really are Where and why are you here You kill your desires with your needs You chain yourself to your own greed You slowly become comfortable in your cage Even if you want to, you are scared to fly

The air was refreshingly depressing The weather was perfect, yet the gloom inside lingered on to what was around The place was painfully familiar Every step known and predictable While the heart wanted to fly The mind was comfortably lazy There was a certain amount of anger too Not having a way out, it had burnt the inside A wish to be someone else And at the same time refusing to let go

I am flying paper planes Hoping the wind will catch them And take the to some place distant A height unreachable A distance unheard of I am flying paper planes Wrapped with undreamt dreams Wishes unwished Stories never written I am flying paper planes And hope with all my heart they never return
