Neither here, nor there!



************************************************

Its that time in life -

When those that are sweet to the heart, are not so to the mind.

When thoughts from the same soul seem cantankerous.

When salt and pepper looks are hard to be hidden.

When the bubbling energy seems so muffled.

When anything childish speaks of insanity.

When the fuming enthusiasm is poise.

When ignorance is unaccpetable.

When truth is lucidly raw.




Its also that time in life -

When peril means challenge.

When the chaos is just too exciting.

When work is 'dreams under construction'.

When vivacious still sounds an understatement.

When the silence is so deafening and full of meaning.

When responsibilities seem heavy and come crashing down.

When trying to feign innocence seems a wonderful adventure.

When the world seems so bland, yet so bold, bright and beautiful.


************************************************




This is that time in life when pandemonium prevails. I feel distorted, lost, confused. A tempest rages within myself - To conquer the unseen, the unheard, the untouched and the unknown. To taste the elixir of life. Its when i try to paint maturity in every thought and attitude. Immaturity seems to breed self-contempt. Well, if these are what they call "growing up", then, i can feel the pristine splendor of this mayhem attack me!!!

Nice one Prithz. Maturity is a subjective term. What may seem immature to you may seem mature to some one else.

oi prithz..

poem too good.. speechless.. really dono wat to say! the pyramid effect.. ore de super.. Kudos to you!getting better at poems with each passing day heh.. cool!!

Hmmm yes..We are growing up arent we? atleast it leaves me thinking back abt school days..how we were..What were our priorities then? What are our goals now? Makes you wonder..a lot.. whether you ever had a goal at all!

We are learning the facts of life,its sometimes unpalatable truths, its ups and downs, living its happier moments.. its an experience, sometimes sour, joyous at other times.. be cautious and work..success does await us at the end of the journey.. we wil achieve it!

Keep smilin!

PS:I did have one goal tho.. racing you in the all exams.. of course, that was a perennial goal for me wasnt it?!!:)wink wink!!
