About Me

My photo
like the lamp in the wind..strong yet delicate..determined yet flickery..calm yet disturbed...me yet not me...different facets...just a nomad on the road called life

Illusioned

It's amazing how the mind works
Constructs
Destructs
Thinks-rethinks
Analyzes
According to its own whims and fancies
Believes- in uncertainties
Bended according to needs
Understands- the truth
Is beyond its power of
comprehension
Yet it shuts its eyes tight
And dreams aloud
Pictures of its own
Wanting desperately
To paint it with artificial colors and brush
A picture of beauty-
perceived
Which lies on the rim
Of happiness and sorrow
Tilted towards either one
By winds-
Uncontrollable-unperceived

Yet it shuts its eyes tight
And paints on
A picture colored by needs.

  1. Nice one Boju.
    And I completely agree. The need of the moment paint the pictures - and we shut our eyes to ignore what we see, lest it affect our judgement..
    really well written!
