Contemplations & Originations

Oddly enough, both the words in my title this times were revelations to me! I didn't know saying them like that was grammatically correct, but cheers to being colloquially disciplined. =)

Lately, I have taken to doing my speculations on the bus, and taking into account the season of Fall (about which I hope to be writing very soon), the weather is perfect for thinkers, and these turn out to be quite the bus rides!

In any case, since I couldn't come up with another poem quick enough to post, and I wanted to make sure I didn't bore the few readers that I have, to death. I decided to change the writing style up a little, and write basically whatever came to my mind. And here's what my pen wrote...

"This is my theory now.

So, where do ideas originate?

Ideas are like energy. They cannot be created or destroyed. They seem to be very eco-friendly though. They can be recycled a lot more than you think.  *chuckle*

But then, how do people keep coming up with different things, you may ask?

Because they live. They live longer, and the see different things around them. They learn to imagine, they learn to hope, and their mind slowly learns how to entangle all these things together to form what we call an idea.

The subconscious mind... its quite a powerful thing, you know? It absorbs a lot more than the human race is even aware of, and that has been scientifically proven.

Not that I claim to be an expert of the human mind, or anything. I am simply stating my point of view.

I don't really know why I wrote this post up. Maybe this was my way of so elegantly giving you all an excuse for my writer's block (which again, I hope will be lifted soon!)

But my question to you is, what can you take away from my little blurb? Though I think this is a one time thing, my posts won't all be educational! ;-)

The next time someone says, "I'm out of ideas", go ahead and tell them to go out a live a little.

Why do you think they will have an idea when they come back? Because they will have a new experience under their belt!

Now let it be known that I don't think creativity or originality is absent among great writers, of course not! But until the time when I manage to come up with an idea that I can't trace back to something I've seen before, or heard before, or had a fleeting glimpse of, or even hoped before, my theory remains intact."


So once again, do let me know what y'all think! Until next time...

Hasta la-buh bye!

Impurity & Fantasies

All she knew was heartache..

She wore her heart on her sleeve,
She was tired of the hurt in life..
She yearned happiness, she wanted to be free

She sat alone in a corner
Looking forlorn, broken and weak,
As life passed her by at east..
A lonely tear slid down her cheek

Outside the sky was blue, the grass so green..
But the memories inside her mind were deadly,
The darkness engulfing her became complete..
Yet she prayed and hoped, it would fade quickly

For somewhere, she knew, just beyond her reach..
An angel stood watching her struggle and mope,
How else could there have been, in her world so grey..
A small, unblinking, ray of shining hope?

She waited for the pain to steadily pass..
And fought while it tried to weigh her down,
For now when she opened her eyes so slow..
She realized it was much harder to frown

The time for a new journey had come at last..
The past, dark and dreary, was left behind,
She saw her life from another's eyes..
Where pain did not dwell - neither in her heart, nor her mind

She embraced the comfort of breathing so free..
And waved goodbye to her dreadful past,
This feeling of hope and renewed faith..
She truly hoped, she could make it last

Beyond the lakes and mountains and trees..
Her angel gave a glowing smile,
For he knew her story, far too well..
And he trusted that pain will stay at bay, awhile

So I made a few tweaks and changes to this poem. I think it works better now. Tell me what you think!


Hasta la-buh bye!

Heartaches & Poetry

Haha, so who notices a theme with my titles? I actually wanted them all to be opposites or irrelevant, but I realize that these words are all interconnected, no matter how hard I try for them not to be.

So I've been thinking..

What inspires poetry? Heartbreaks? Contemplation? Or just the hidden artist inside you looking for a way to be heard?

In any case! Here's my next piece of work. I call it..

"Moving On"

There was a hole in my heart..

Which I thought would never heal,

It ripped me apart inside..

No one understood the big deal.

The sky was always dull,

The world was always gray,

Walking out on me was easy,

Just leaving me there to pray.

Soon the tears were thicker, the hole was bigger..

And happiness just seemed too far,

Somehow I knew that would always be true..

As long as we stayed apart.

Years of sorrow and nights of pain,

Did no good to you or me,

The words unspoken and memories never made..

How I wished you would see.

Then one day I saw that beautiful smile..

The one for which I fell,

But it killed me to see, it wasn't for me,

Even from far, I could tell.

It hit me just then, hard as a rock,

The hole no longer seemed to be there,

The smile.. just as beautiful as before..

Seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Time had changed and so had you,

You were no longer the one I loved,

Nothing at all seemed right between us..

I heard a voice say from above.

I sensed as I went farther and farther..

The pain was less and the tears were few,

The hurt was leaving, as I was beginning,

To see that I was stronger than I knew.

Now the sun shines bright and clouds are thin,

I see that my past has been long gone..

A new day creeps with happiness near,
As I start to feel, the joy of moving on.

An old past, an old story..
The old hurt, just pain & no glory
A new hope, a new day..
Look above, and fly away.

I pray that my poetic mood keeps coming back to me. Until it strikes again..


Hasta la-buh bye!

Lost & Untitled

So I get a little lazy..
I'm just a student
So I break a promise..
I'm just a human
So I make excuses..
I'm just a child
So I break traditions..
I'm just a rebel
So I put on a brave front..
I'm just a friend
So I get into arguments..
I'm just a teenager
So I get lonely sometimes..
I'm just a writer
So I get my heart broken..
I'm just a girl

So I'm going to start with - I'm sorry.

In today's world, misunderstandings are a very common predicament. "Observations" can be mistaken as "fixedly gazing at someone murderously and trying to think of schemes to steal what lies in their wallet". So with much sadness, and a bit of gladness, I'm going to call off my "Stranger Posts". I don't need the cops called on me. =)

So yes, life has been choppy. But it goes on. And I must go with it.

You know those moments where you wish to give up on everything, turn all the lights off, wear your favorite pair of pajamas, curl up in a ball with your blanket pulled over you? I've had a fair few of them follow me around for some time now, and how much longer I can fight them off, I can't say..

In any case!

Before this gets depressing =) I'm going to get straight to it! Up there was a tiny preview of what happens when I get thinking, and start to improvise and want to write poems. I hope they are well received, because that seems to be what I wish to do just now :)

Well, I'll keep y'all posted!

Hasta la-buh bye!
