A Disquiet Mind

Poetry is liberating,
And so I’ve heard,
It unlocks your disquiet mind,
And lets the thoughts unfurl.

I have been heart sunken,
For a long time now,
The tragedy of the known,
Is the worst of the kind.

Taking refuge in activities unrelated,
I had to divert my mind,
How long I can hold the dam,
I had yet to find.

When it hurts from within,
There is a restlessness developed,
Your heart feels sore,
And your hatred swells from inside.

Wear striking colours on nails,
They glitz away your attention,
As you gaze in admiration,
It’s in your mind...Sweet, sweet flirtation.

Do justice to your life,
See most places, talk to all,
Have gala of a time,
While, as they term, you are in your prime.

While you cannot essay an unquiet thought,
You can verse away the blues,
You have the rhymes in place,
If not, it still brings out utter grace.

Days I spend in agony,
Are the worst days of all.

Modern day virtues, and their slow death

What makes me title my new post this, goes beyond me, but, I want to make this work.
I feel inspired by 'Sex and the City' to take up blogging again. Carrie Bradshaw is someone, any modern day girl would identify with. The sexcapades are a little too much to identify with, but her confused demeanour and messed up love life strikes a chord.
In our modern lives, we are all Carrie Bradshaws, who are struggling to find the right guy. Who would depend on their friends for every advice. Who would open up their lives to their friends. She makes mistakes, and she gets up and moves on. Its the spirit, one must have.
Let us hope this strong-willed character does not bring about change in an uncalled for way among the conservative Indian lot. However, the wheels are in motion, change is in the air.
