a touch...
that took the life out of me.
...it was the green goblin

bits n scraps

its sick...
..its low...
...when, lost in you...
a voice was lost,
the words, the tune, the beat got lost.
...lost in you.....
a soul was lost.
___
a tattered face
that mirrors deny
in bits in scraps...
now, look!
whose back!
.....

thay bohat bederd lamhey khatm-e-derd-e-ishq kay

thien bohat bemehr subhein mehrbaan ratoan k baad

_Faiz

YOUR sense of humour could be so sick...
i never knew...
now YOU've brought him back!
ha.ha.ha.....he... came back.
.
after i had killed n buried my baby in his grave,
just then...
.
...he... came back!
the only pulse...ever born in me,
the only heart...i truly felt for,
the only trick... i ever fell for
...is back.
.
why did i kill him?...
when he was all i ever wanted!
.
... only...for YOU!
when i see YOU, i forget him.
...when i see him, i forget YOU .
he's the fire, n YOUR the Light
in me.
n You know I always end up with YOU
.
YOU! there's always YOU between him n me!...

Dream sequence, continues...

...eyes swollen n empty, lips dry n chapped.

im still Asleep.

.

inconsequential thoughts prevail the mind.

world seems still Strange.

Headaches Remain.

.

inconsequential feelings Devour the heart, as...

it Sinks and Sulks.

.

they say; the world is the same,

they say; the life is same,

they say; everything is there in its place.

But,

Where am i?...

.

they dont answer.

n i dont know.

.

i do all chores, all day n lie on bed, all night.

.

i roam around the city,

all day all night,

randomly wondering,

through busy streets and empty alleys.

i Wonder alone.

.

i sink in my couch,

all day all night,

watching any scene that catches my eyes,

or reading any word that whispers in heart.

i Dream alone.

.

from here and there

i drift,

i glide,

where the wind takes me.

like a broken Feather...

i am everywhere, n

No where.

.

...i lost my bird

.

...i lost my will.

.

my will,

my love,

my passion,

my god,

my only sanity

...died its own death.

.

while i stood there and watched.

.

now, its an empty temple.

where the bhagats still sing,

and bells still ring,

but the diety has left.

.

i am Free...free as in all its sense.

.

i Dont wanna wake up.

i still Dream.

.

Insane, i Remain.

.

like my love, i expect this dream,

to make me sick

...so sick that it too,

dies its own death.

.

i want to see its limits,

Limits of my Insanity

..... in the hope

... of seeing god,

again.

.

Insane, i Remain.

The lost Tag

whats the world coming to???
On Friday, September 16, 2005 Kat had tagged me...:[ ...n ever since then, ive been trying to fill it up. i somehow felt obliged, so wanted to do it but, but as it appears, tags are not my thing.
i think today im gonna complete it, for once n all.

5 years ago: year 2000: i was a loony teen, nurd n nieve. n was finally getting settled in lahore for five straight years, *phew! (something practically unimaginable for a nomad like me.)
1 year ago: year 2004: revolutionary. life, career, goals, realtions, everything was redefined. i was like electrocuted. also, that was the year when i found many new media to express, though the style dint change, but my methaphors, similes, cliches n abstractions, just found some new faces. overall, it was a Fun year.
5 songs i know all the words to: aaaaa all the words? ... sorry! 8[ ...i mean i listen to music n sing songs almost all the time, but it just happens that i can never remember the whole lyrics.
5 Snacks i enjoy: ice cream with nuts crunch n fruits, bakery chips, fries with colslaw n ketchup, chocolate soufles/fudge/puddings/cup cakes, paapdi chaat, dahi puri... m, i guess its more than 5 , but... thats the way it is :p
5 Things I'd do with $100 million dollars: gimme some more n ill buy a couple of oil fields in the middle-east. its IN, u know! 8-)
hmm... :-? ...on an extremely serious note, i'll spend 5% on my firm n workshop, give 5% to my parents, 10% to my siblings, save 40% for my kids, n the rest would go to Eidhi.
5 places i would run away to: kalaash, hunza, small town or any countryside in europe, nana ji's, n Kaaba.
5 things I would never wear: blue contacts, beard, naval ring, monkey caps, n those dresses to kill ;)
5 favorite TV shows: whose line is it anyway, everybody loves raymond, funniest animals on animal planet, marathon cooking shows on bbc food, gardening n remodelling shows on bbc prime.
5 greatest joys: helping, exploring, resolving, dreaming, n family.
5 favorite toys: tv remote, P.C., points n lines, camera, n my lil nephews.
5 more victims: dawn, reedemer-x, twice translated, vix, von aurum
hahaha, i wish i could tag you guys, but after experiencing it myself, i declare this tag closed. :p
(anyway, if any of you happen to pass by here in any near future, n would like to fill the tag, you know your more than welcome)

*phew!*.....ahhhhh!..... at last.
