Hope

red desires

Least, I find you in my dreams. Then, there, it’s nothing but us. The world dissolves in the oceanic wrath, the clocks no more play and we stand on the shores of the eternal sea. And when I wake up, I feel like taking a plunge down into the hidden sea and I wish, you could have been there too. I don’t find you along those shores and the feeling is never acceptable enough.  Say, there is always a sigh close to it. A mute, expressionless sigh…

It’s a sad feeling, the way our hopes find illusions.

I could wait there forever but I know that soon we’d become past as well. Time has stained us, and left its mark upon us. I brush aside my dreams but reality is as confusing. The distorted images in my mind play havoc yet I clearly remember the way your skin smells. These memories were to serve the foundation to the new ones but they are being buried, killed, would be a better word!

And there is a thing inside me which is all calm. I am no more vulnerable, the fight seems to have disappeared, gone with the moments you’ve kept me waiting for you. There was a moment when I felt like shrinking but sooner I realized its you who had been caught off-guard. Unexpected. I want to stay as long as your wounds don’t heal, till the ache doesn’t subside for I know you can’t do it on your own.

Men are, in one way, a part of women after all!

At times, frustration soars through me and I want to disappear. But you reach for me in such times and I feel helpless. My thoughts drift on, to times when it would require courage to stay while the sky gets filled with black clouds. But your nonchalance doesn’t promise, ironically, it doesn’t leave a single word. You would often start with an ‘if’ and use a ‘but’ and I’m left looking for an answer, carefully choosing the right words to express the right feeling. Usually, I go wrong!

Hope’, they tell me.

It isn’t that real, I can say.

Despite that, I cling on to it alone, tired and weary.

    Its hard to imagine a life without hope.Its like begining a day without any plans. Hope motivates us to live I think :)

    Hope… the carrot that fate dangles… dragging one further into the mire… small victories sweetened by larger failings… and in the long run… we die… hopeful…

    Life, but, can’t be reversed…

  5. Aria says:

    Hope is such a hopeless thing..
    tender images you evoke in your words..
    I love it even more coz I can relate to everything you express..

  6. Keshi says:

    Beautiful image and beautiful words. I loved it.

    **And there is a thing inside me which is all calm. I am no more vulnerable, the fight seems to have disappeared, gone with the moments you’ve kept me waiting for you

    somehow I could relate to that…

    Keshi.

    Hope, someone said is a good thing and am sure it is too. It’s elusive too, you could find it somewhere least expected and then it may whiz past in a blur…very much like a Snitch in Quidditch…HBP effect:P

    Only a person who has been through such pain could write something like this. ((hugs)) to you my sweet.

    “I am no more vulnerable, the fight seems to have disappeared, gone with the moments you’ve kept me waiting for you.”

    this is such a complex line that i don’t know how to feel about it: it is sad when the ‘fight’ within us disappears yet I am happy that you are no longer vulnerable. the good and the bad; the sour and the sweet….

  10. AD says:

    finally i find your blog :)
    you know how hard it has been to locate you :)
    great post.
    though i’d like to make one point

    Men are, in one way, a part of women after all! [sure]
    but some men forget to disconnect themselves from the womb by detaching the umbilical cord and it really doesn’t pay off well in other relationships then :)

    Hope is the bait that God uses to confuse human beings into living.

    According to Isaac Newton momentum linear or angular can not move/rotate a body,there has to be a non zero net force and in case of earth it is the gravitational force,so a force makes d world go around and not momentum which is simply an inherent property of its motion(anything with mass and velocity has a momentum)…and Hope…hmmm…its a force too that keeps us motivated to keep on struggling and moving on with our lives..for me it has hoping has always been so blissful…
