Whisper (part 2)

It has been a while since our flares made these pallid waters blush. First mine, then yours, then ours spelling out words that only we understood. And perhaps, some strangers that we never knew, and an old sailor out on the water.

…—…

.. .—-. –  …. . .-. .

And we’re still here.

Whisper

…into the wind, and maybe your words will be carried through to where the waters rush in to embrace the land. How long, I wonder, since a singular droplet of salt water met its material opposite in the sand to make them greet each other fiercely and then part again. How long since the breeze kissed wisps of hair on a lover’s face. How long since you remembered and believed and spoke…

(to be continued…)

Alright, the gloves come off now. The whole point of this blog was to stop self-censoring and I have been doing the exact opposite of that. From now on, there is no though too trivial and no topic too mundane for me to wrap melodrama around. And so I begin, a post everyday, be it shitty or otherwise…

You, In Other Words

I could
spin
you
into words
once.
Phrases,
sentences,
letters and symbols
of
what you were -
are
to me.
And I’d share
these few morsels
of
you
with
you
and you
would tell me
how
beautiful
they were
not knowing
it was
you
held
in each
curve
and cross.
And you
would smile
to me
and say
you
loved it
and I
would smile
to me
and wonder.

The Day is Saved, Thanks To! -

Three cans and four glasses of coke later, I have understood a profound truth that I found previously unfathomable – I can keep procrastinating major decisions until I absolutely have to make them!

With only minor, sometimes..sort of possibly disastrous repercussions…but lets not think about that. No. Lets ignore that completely and focus on…*look of shock, awe, unparalleled appreciation*… THE SILVER LINING!

While we are focusing on that, let us disregard the fact that a cloud is present at all! It does not exist, just like the elephant in the room. Did someone say elephant? Where? Wha..? Why would you say elephant mid-conversation? Is that some sort of a twisted mannerism of yours?! Shut UP! I’m talking! I DO NOT SEE AN ELEPHANT! ASS!

No, I meant you’re an ass. I dont see an ass in the room either. Except you. Would you just let me make a point?!

Thank you.

Now, while banishing all clouds to oblivion, save their silver linings, humanity is faced with (yet) another dilemma. You’ve got sparkly stuff reflecting sunlight and now the world is doomed to darkness. Unless -

DOOMED! I say! Doooom-ed!

(Just making sure you got that)

Unless – in steps Magical Melancholy Man! (transformed so by a certain vampire in presence of nuclear radiation)

Rejoice all! For the world is saved! As Magical Melancholy Man single-mindedly conjours up enough clouds to put traitorous pessimists back in their place.

Hooray for Magical Melancholy Man and the ever so under-rated power of pessimism!

The End.

Initiating Melodrama:

I’m tempted to begin this with an epic statement that somehow challenges the foundation of several baseless but nevertheless intense beliefs of mine. I’m particularly fond of those. A small, 7-syllable sentence that goes something like “I learned of life today,” Or death, or loss, or love, or trees. But the truth is – epic statements get old, fast. Sure, they’re fun to play with, to transform, shape, mold, whatever, great for adding a big shock-factor to your piece…but they do get old. Like in all those crappy “suspense” novels where the person least expected is the criminal or culprit.

And so, I choose to begin this with a lecture on writing techniques, it seems. Its an opening that never fails.

I forget where I was going with this. I forget where I’m going a lot.

… Ah! I remember now. Its nowhere.

Hello world! <– (UGH! I *do not* say that!)

Something tells me I should make my first post memorable and..fun..or..something.

I dont really do that. So, you’ll kinda have to live with a shitty, boring first post, so I can try out the custom settings and such of teh blog and edit ze stylesheet if I have to, ’cause I can.

So thats about it.
