The Welcome Itch !

We humans love to err, actually…
Doing a mistake,
We try to fog it up with excuses-
Excuses, that doesn’t really make any sense,
But suffice to create a fog
Where we can can hide our shameful face!

We say,
“I’ve learnt a great lesson…”
Alas! On the second next
We do it again… and suffer
From the same writhing agony.

Agony, yes… Agony, Pain & Sorrow
Seem to be our best friends!
Because,
No matter how much we suffer,
Sticking to the pain
Seems to have grown a habit…
We fall for it
Again, and again and again.

There is a subtle and sadistic joy
Even in this pain…
After a while of suffering,
It makes us forget what it is actually
And becomes an integral part of our lives.
Most amusingly,
We even find peace, a feeling of completeness
Burning in this agony!

The more it itches,
The more we scratch…
And, the more wounded
The poor bloody soul becomes;
Ironically, the more pleased we feel!
Again, it keeps up growing manifold,
Nourished by our encouragement…
Here goes the Cycle…
Until we find-
The Life is Spent,
Scratching the Itch…

a fine one.

don't know what the others will say.

but the technique (of presenting the feelings with the concept of an "itch") caught my eye.

i would rather say it's very wonderfully presented!

you, hiyapotter and nabanita are seeming to grow to masters of "abstracts" in this blog. don't know why, i find the touch of ABSTRACT in this post of yours; ..may be for your unique "itching" technique. ha ha.

nobarun porte paarish. phataru ra amaar khub favourite.

i found this one rather difficult to digest. it, itself, was itchy :). i dont take to this school of thought and to accept another doesnt come very easily to me. i lurk in more flexible, superficial areas.
