we sat and vacillated

For once, after the longest time I can remember…. i let my emotions go loose… and this is what came out:

so here we come again,
at closing doors
and opening windows gushing with the wind
the glass shatters
and we cry
but then there’s tommorow
a hope where the wind will stop blowing
and spring, springs again
only livng in fear, lets hope the wind doesn’t blow again

And so the end begins…

Here’s the song that i’ve been listening to most of the evening…. if you care to bother:

my foundation was rocked my tried and true way to deal was to vanish
my departures were old I stood in the room shaking in my boots
at that particular time love had challenged me to stay
at that particular moment I knew not run away again
that particular month I was ready to investigate with you
at that particular time

we thought a break would be good for four months we sat and vacillated
we thought a small time apart would clear up the doubts that were abounding
at that particular time love encouraged me to wait
at that particular moment it helped me to be patient
that particular month we needed time to marinate in what “us” meant

I’ve always wanted for you what you’ve wanted for yourself
and yet I wanted to save us high water or hell
and I kept on ignoring the ambivalence you felt
and in the meantime I lost myself
in the meantime I lost myself
I’m sorry I lost myself -i am

you knew you needed more time time spent alone with no distraction
you felt you needed to fly solo and high to define what you wanted
at that particular time love encouraged me to leave
at that particular moment I knew staying with you meant deserting me
that particular month was harder than you’d believe but I still left
at that particular time

the wisdom of truth and justice

Superman_Emblem Time and again – I have found within myself… in my deepest darkest, happiest to the saddest moments in my life (the extremes), I find solace in only one thing! The true essence of life – “Superman” – the idealistic!

It’s funny – I just discovered a life shattering truth today – and I was alone, all by myself, didn’t know how to handle it – broke down pretty bad – suddenly there was a knock at the door…

In the state I was in, I literally ignored it.

Then the knock again!

I walked to the door, looked through the peephole – a friend!

Wondered to myself, what timing! I so didn’t want to open the door, wanted to pretend I wasn’t home!

But then opened the door eventually and thought to myself, “what on earth is she doing here – she’s NEVER come home!”

I asked her in surprise and astonishment – “YOU? Here? Er… How did you know where I live?”

She replies, “Well you had told me long ago, had always thought of surprising you like this but never got around to it! Then I was overseas for a few months and just got back, thought I’d drop it to see if you were still living here…”

We got to talking – a quick brief conversation – it’s funny how someone you haven’t met for a long time, still knows your character as a person and how they can relate and know and understand you as a person you are within rather than what you portray and what circumstances make you say…

In a few minutes I found myself laughing, watching old music videos and talking about things of times when we were growing up, and discovering ourselves as individuals!

And then we bid goodbye.

I came back to my computer, and immediately, put on Superman OST!

Why?

I don’t know – but life has it’s way with me and Superman! I would only listen or watch Superman when I’m in the most need of saving – and it’s truly not by choice – it’s fate!

I just always “happen” to do so when I’m in my worst – and so I did.

And slowly, I could see the “Fortress of Solitude” again!

It brings to me a sense of peace – a calmness within myself – always has and always will!

1978: The Year I was Born
1978: The Original Superman-I movie, was released!

As much of that being just a statistical fact, there always was a connection between me and the idea of Superman! I always felt so – no matter how lame this post sounds, I hope I always feel this way all my life because it’s the best feeling in my life and I’m feeling that now :)

Happiness in marriage! An idiom?

by Devesh on February 28, 2007 in Noteable Reads, Quotes / Wisdom with 2 Comments

I was going through Sakshi’s blog, which I happened to land upon today and found myself spending more and more time reading her posts…

I really liked something she wrote in one of her post’s “Live-In relationship vs Marriage” and I quote:

The love that we all want from a partner is not possible without both having the commitment to try to make it last. Cooperation, compromise, that sort of thing. There’s a saying, “Happiness in marriage is not so much FINDING the right person as BEING the right person.”

If it’s easy to change one partner for another, where’s the incentive to develop staying power in a relationship? Instead people will think “I’m upset at my partner which means I’m with the wrong person. I’m going to get out so I can hook up with the right person.” It’s human nature, and and i think that this approach is creating increased numbers of people without the ability to sustain a long-term relationship.

It’s definately an eye-opener. So simple and true!

I’m gonna go back to reading some more of her posts :)
