You seem a tad troubled. Do sing me your worries.
If I do, would you make it better? Are you the answer to this tragedy?
No, I have very few answers. I am here to see if you are asking the right questions.
Oh I see. You are but a rhetoric ringer. Perhaps a cliché preacher…
Yes, mostly. But won’t you give me a try?
I fear I have wasted my youth. I fear I won’t be remembered.
Yes, your fears are quite well founded. To most, you are no one.
I think I resent contentment. I am in love with despair.
You do tend to dig your own holes and them mostly square.
I now see that you too are quite pointless but right.
Don’t blame me. I am but a passerby. But continue on with your sad tries.
Love… I no longer see the rainbow that I once saw.
They always did say love is blind! Yes, I mock, but not in dismay.
But what about excitement! When was it termed a lost art?
Its age. You expect a lot more for quickening your heart.
No, you are wrong. I still eagerly anticipate the turns I take.
In all honesty, do you?
Yes.
Do you really?
Maybe…
Now we are finally on our way. You were seeking the wrong answer.
I am lost. What do you think was my question?
Didn’t you want to know what is that you really want?
Quite right! And you say that’s the wrong question?
Yes, I am almost certain.
Ah ha! So spit it out. I am all ears.
Come, sit by me. I do not want to say it loud.
But it’s just you and me here. Yet, here I come to sit besides you.
Good. Now listen.
And so I did.
I guess it’s one of your weirder posts. Though I am not expected/supposed to comment, I must admit, I liked it.
I am beginning to see why there’s the theory that to be a good writer/poet, you need to suffer – vicariously atleast, as in your case.
The rainbow may no longer be there, but the lightening and thunder is beautiful in its own way.
Look who’s going weird now! :)..
i shall abstain from putting it off as vicarious..
However, a cliche here,
“Tequila is the answer, I dont know the question”
😉
If you are in love with despair, why expect a rainbow?
Anon: Interesting. Why do you think my suffering was vicarious? Anyways, thanks for the comment. And You are always expected/supposed to comment!
Upasna: Ah! another cliche! Though I did like this one 😉 Unfortunately nectars never worked for me. Oh well…
O’Henry ish.
Felt like I know the person you were speaking to…
and I like to call these meta story verses 🙂
Nice!
I keep re-reading this, I keep wanting to leave a comment, I keep waiting for myself to be able to say something on it…
Finally- I am liking, but I am not understanding (sic)…
Anon: I admit, I had no idea what your comment meant until I read some reading up on O Henry. If that is actually what you mean then thanks! It very flattering. Why the anonymity though?
Aradhita: Thanks Aradihta. I am not suprised by your familiarity with the voice of reason. I do hope you stay away from him though.
Shreya: I stumped you? That is very unlikely. Yet, let me gloat on this for a while. I am glad that you are finally-Liking 😉
Makes for a witty con’verse’, its silently HILARIOUS!
🙂
At the first go, it feels like ur talking to urself..but then again on second thoughts..still feels like ur talikng to another you..
Ur on path of self discovery??
– PN
DK: Thanks, I am glad you like dit.
PN: Sorry P, you read too much into it. I am avoiding self discovery, its taking me down a pointless road.
But I liked the first half of the comment. Thanks
Very good!
