high on promise

they walk in

music, beer, smiles

and conversation

they have never been this close

everything accentuates

the possibilities

waving at them like a red flag

the music trips on the alcohol

the future blinds

demands attention

eliminates options

love takes control

this is the beginning

eyes lock unto each other

nobody else is here


bloated by disappointment

they walk in

hoping for music, beer, smiles

and the conversation

they have never been this far

everything accentuates

the impossibilities

waving at them like a red flag

the music trips on the alcohol

the past blinds

demands attention

eliminates options

hate takes control

this is the end

eyes look away

was there ever anybody here?

thats the way love frequently goes ... like the Joan Baez song "Love grows old, and waxes cold" ... even more frequently we jump to conclusions ... isnt it strange how fast and high the flames of anger, the drop of pain surges or falls, inside us, and how quickly it passes us by, if we're only patient ...

sorry, been told so many time not to start off lecturing with my (un-asked-for) POV :)

However, the writing is awesome. Read a lot of blogs today but this is the striking-est. there is something raw and powerful about ur writing that i like ... but i like this better than anything

have more opinions on the post, but will keep shut for now before u throw me outta here

PS - Thats a grimace

Sometimes I wonder if this what happens to all relationships? Questions like why is love disillusioning when it's unconditional and all accepting? keep bothering me, especially at the end of a relationship.
The fear of losing someone we love stops us from growing in a relationship and we continue to seek what we shared in the past.
It's fantastic

it had to be something! if not smoke from a pyre then may be fumes from a chemical reaction!

n if it hurts as much as your verse shows n hides, may be its time u asked yourself: what is it you do want?

(and pls do not pretend u don't hurt, for then u won't be burning holes on blogs...)

do u find the concept of being tied down to one, liberating?

if not, liberate from all ties
or else re think your strat

This is beautifully written hash.

The music trips on alcohol throws such wonderful images.

Yes it's all about the release. Music for some. A scream for someone else.

But maybe it's about finding a temperory state of sanity.

For the madness to start all over again.

Bacardi Night


It’s the night
The night of the bats
It’s where the lights come on
When it’s all over

Bottled bats
Beating their wings
Inside hard glass
It’s where the lights come on
When it’s all over

Bats outside bottles
Wings against glass
Beating to be let in
It’s where the lights come on
When it’s all over

In they fly
Into your nose, throat and eyes
Into your head
It’s where the lights come on
When it’s all over

Out they fly
Untrapped words
A blur of sense
It’s where the lights come on
When it’s all over

Hitting hard
Getting there
What? Where?
It’s where the lights come on
When it’s all over

Rush in rush in
More more and more
Fly together with you don’t know who
It’s where the lights come on
When it’s all over

Disappear
When the lights come on
Into the night till next time
Coz it’s where the lights come on
When it’s all over
