Do what you must. But get moving and get there!

The life we want, what we love, what is just beyond our level of comfort. Or belief. Really!
As a little girl, I was always fascinated with my grandmother's much too oft repeated statements - "you never know". It makes sense now, with my silver hair earned :)

From the pages of history

dogeared and bow wow She was brown...a rich ebony from some tropical woodland. And very very pretty. Huge eyes seemed to be stretching right out of her face. And she was thin as a stick. With soiled, muddy clothes. Beside her was this miniature gollywog...probably her son...and he was a microscopic, blacker version of his mother. Yellow shirt, with half the buttons missing. She was squatting beside him, And apparently they had just wrapped up a hard day of work.and with the water which was in a dirty basin (seemed like it was used to mix cement or something similar) she washed lil golliwog's face, and smoothed his strawy hair. And kissed him with the love and devotion as only a mother can kiss. "My little prince" she said, in her native tongue, full of pride. This is what I saw one almost winter evening, while I was on my way to the market, to get some stuff for my mum. And thats what will stick with me all my life. The look on her face...such contentment I can only dream...

The Entity

Today i missed a person. A companion. I missed the ideal which is undefined, yet perfectly understood. She isn't a person. She is an entity. An experience. An idea. I missed her. I missed her when I was out with my friends. I don't know who she is, or where she is. But I missed her as sorely as I would've if she had a name and space in my heart. Having her beside me would have completed the experience of completion itself. Threading our fingers together as we talked into the sunset, tucking those shiny stray strands of silk from her face, to behind her ears. Inhaling her delicate parfum, feeling the slight curve of her hips, touching her smooth fair skin, as I hear her soft musical laugh dissolve into my blood like some potent drug.. She overcomes all my senses. The feel, sound and touch of her fills me up. I am lost in her spell that she unknowingly weaves around me, every minute that we're together. Her scent makes me do things I'd never have thought possibl...

Memories of a different life

It's been a good 10 months since that day. I was always neutral towards you before. I had my emotions, my heart under lock and key. Nothing could touch me, or hurt me. Or so I thought. I chose to lower my walls down for you though. Christmas Eve is when we met. We spent the entire day, bags and baggage, sitting here at Starbucks. That's how I got that huge bottle of mouthwash, and that pair of socks for you. I wonder if you think of me when you wear those socks. I always think of you whenever I use that body oil, rubbing a part of our memories on me, that keep me fragranced and soft all day. Today, I see people come in, some to meet folk, informal coffee meetings, some look like lovers high on what we were back then. I am alone. With my book and bags. I feel you around me. Only I can't see you. It's much like every other day. It's a little unfair that you gave me just a few minutes of your eternity to me. While my eternity is left to spend in my solitude. I stil...
