Quest
in my quest for excellence
i was forced to sacrifice
sacrifice things considered petty
yet so very essentially dear
in my quest for excellence
i could'nt build relationships
relationships utterly fragile
yet so very exclusively important
in my quest for excellence
i had to dwindle my priorities
priorities seemingly silly
yet having the multitudes of life
in my quest for excellence
i simply lost my life
a life of going-to-live
a life never really lived
now i wonder what excellence really is
is it discovering happiness in life
or discovering life in happiness itself
happiness so arrogantly elusive to me

Chaos
Des: This one's about the contemporary world...the way we see the world today, the way it'd been since the war times, not much of a difference anyways....But even the catastrophe of the world war in all its colossal magnitude had certain undoubted contributions to the mankind...say for example...the world war-II created a sense of urgency and competence in the scientific world...with a venom never-seen as yet till date, for that age. Well in terms of scientific progress, we'd have to accept the wartime (the cold war included), as a golden era.
Humanity is the sole virtue, a virtue which could never be lost, that binds us all together in the face of the dwarfing situations...and humanity like any other virtue, has the tendency to rise like a phoenix, victorious, everytime its roots are put into jeopardy, by forces insolently dark.

Dreams of shadows...
towers of death...
streams of blood...
no trifle of regret...
heaps of the dead...
loads in dread...
weapons of fire...
lives gone haywire...
child in the darkness...
chilled by the night...
ignorant innosence...
death showing its might...
plethora of hatred...
sons of lust...
fear and anger...
defeating the love...
fear in the mind...
deceit in the eye...
zeal in the heart...
direction lost...
cities destroyed...
emotions distorted...
all that is left...
is ruins from the past...
this feeling of guilt...
this pain from within...
tough to control...
better forget...
demons from the past...
hovering aghast...
cruelity personified...
humanity in doldrums...
questions of intellect...
force so brute...
supression intended...
rebirth imminent...
glimmer of hope...
days not far...
war and terror...
never stand a chance...
this dismay this destruction...
rennaisance in the shaken souls...
re-forging humanity...
with castings of CHAOS'...
P.S: Observe the physical shape of the poem, a Sceptre, of humanity...a beacon...only passing hands, never yet extinguished!!!
The Blog Business
Also i have a profound belief in the adage,
Great Minds discuss Ideas,
Average Minds discuss Events,
Small Minds discuss PEOPLE.
well, i definitely don't belong to the third category; And as of now i don't wan't to be characterised by the second one either. Here again, i'll let the 'virtuous'(time) catagorise me
And So It Begins.....!!!
Hope u ppl hav a good time having a sneak-peek into my Mirror of Thoughts!!!
