Duality - A reality!!!

It's easy to forget failure but not hurt
and between happiness and pain, does life oscillate

i's shot when i was at my sincere best
when i wanted the freedom back i myself lost

i was wrong that i did expect
as i wanted to rediscover my space, at the most

naive was i, i have to admit
then the warmth i had felt was an illusion but

Thank god!!it's not bout hate but hurt
and the prayers and secret promises guarded a lot

else everything the blazing fire would have burnt
reducing me into ashes and everything that's a part

Luckily what does not change is past,a cold dry fact
but the river full of iife,it could not obstruct

Now that everything i have blurted out
i ve to complete it else ll be called an opportunist

never had i ever thought
hurt can also lead to fulfilment

for what lovely is a heart without any hurt
and what beautiful is a moon without the blackspot

if this little hurt can make my dead words live
and make me more compassionate and live

i would undergo many like this
and more eagerly thinking of this as bliss

but it's easy to forget failure but not hurt
and between happiness and pain, does life oscillate

a handful of us have the capacity to take pain repeatedly..

but again, we should be breaking down all pain forms and should be peeping into them, ..trying to see what actually makes them (all existing forms of Pain) so special among other emotions in Life..

and the answer is, nothing but our attention!!

@akaash- odvut jukti.. don't we give attention to our other emotions??? we do... but pain comes frequently...

@ nabanita:

it's the question of giving attention to that which demands your attention the most;

..and to which Boys Stuffed With False Pride don't give a damn.

..may be, they say to Pain, " f**k off! You tend to make me Weak, when i find no sufficient rhyme or reason why i should be..."

Don't know, but i think Sushir's gonna echo my sentiment.

Ask him.

Go on.

@akaash- if u sau f**k off! that doesn't mean pain disappear.. itz just a mask...thats it...

why should i ask sushir?

akaash said...

@ nabanita:

come on.. COME ON..

am i getting so intangible?

everybody knows that pain doesn't disappear when we say f**k off!
it's just a case of practising self-bluffing that we sometimes so dearly need to do in order to stay alive..

i'll not be clarifying further, think what you may..


and, on asking Sushir, ..well, go on and first let him read my first comment. Then it's going to be him who would preffer to explain it to you!

..if he at all wishes.

now, that's a question worth the attention!!
