From Absentia

26th January, 2017.

Hello prattling mortals! Greetings from the absentia!

No but really, I have been long gone from my writings even from myself and I think, given the darkened night, I must now somewhat return. I have been writing random poetry a lot and that was not the initial plan if my memory serves me correct; to be frank, I don’t remember what was my original plan with this page, just one fine day I woke up with a craving and here we are, tangled in complex rants about whatnot.

Seriously, there were days when I gave my most sincere thought to abandon this page, to stop writing and to the extent of it, I had considered deleting it. There were moments when all of this, whatever I have wrote till date, seemed inconsequential and mostly incoherent to me. And let’s be honest about this, most of these ‘rants’ that I boast about are indeed of no consequence. Things that I call poem and stories, which I thought are creations of a ‘mind’ are just nothing, they hold neither meaning nor importance to anyone. Yes, they might, at times, look good to other people, I have had my share of applause for all those poetic injunctions but that’s the extent of it, they are momentary.

So the question is, why? Why still I keep these pandemoniums alive and not just lock them up and leave? I have seen people do that. Blogs being deleted have not surprised me ever, for I always knew they must have fulfilled their purpose of being. Either that or the authors had succumbed to the boredom of rattling over the keyboards or editing their brains out, the reasons could be many and doesn’t bother me.

I would like to believe, and do forgive me if I sound anything but polite, that most of the time people do get bored by their own design. They start, they walk, they come to the terms of anything they feel they should and that’s it. The time spent here must be sufficient to draw the needed conclusions, to move on. And keeping this assertion in mind, it is entirely possible that I don’t want to do this, regardless of my attainment of any sort of closure, not that I was looking for it, the prospect is hauntingly boring.

Another possibility is that this blog has been a witness to my teen angst and so much more. I liked to believe that I am cold, that I hardly feel anything, which now seems a mortifying lie to me.  I mean if we look back at it, after hundred something blogs, this claim seems not only futile but also far from being anything solid. Here, on my blog, I have smiled, laughed, cried, brooded, sulked and god knows what else, and to be honestly grateful, those who read this somehow, if not ill-fated to do so, shared these experience.

Thusly, my contention regarding the existence would be this – I am an utterly hopeless case of sentimental mess who can’t give up on certain stuff, ever. Because I somehow feel morally obligated to a few things, even though I have been told repeatedly that my moral compass is compromised beyond any fix. Whatever it is, I can’t just leave it, even though if the blog consist many embarrassing and more stupid things I have said. It’s basically like that estranged lover with whom you share everything and then you repent because you have told her too much and the only viable option is to kill her but you can’t do that either because now you are way too much into the designed hell you have made. So, there.

Yes, I have been absent for a while, and such absentia will keep recurring, but that shouldn’t mean I have stopped. After all, it was where I started my supposed journey in writing and that just can’t be stopped.

Although, if anything, I’d like to hear some opinions on this.

In other news, my hair is coming back and I’m not bald anymore, I’m not sure if it’s a good news.

Anyways, have a cup of tea!

Love!

To Whomever it may concern.

12th January, 2017.

So, fellas, this is the first 'poetry' of the year of our lord 2017. I know I should have posted something heavy, but prior engagements (basically nothing) has been consuming my time. But I wrote a poem so there's that.


"To whomever it may concern,
if this finds its way yo you,
by some unnatural chance,
and takes you back 
to your days of lucid dreams and 
poignant nights of starry carnivals,
and if you see us there in delight,
leave us there. We're just ghosts,
stuck in a blurred memory.
And if this reminds you of today,
when we are nothing more than a familiar face,
don't be upset,
for we still have our promises,
folded between the old books 
of thought and memory".

So there! And since there was nothing on New Year, I hope things are better for you, since 2016 was bullshit!

Have some tea and enjoy the cold. And to those who are denied of their cozy warm beds in such ungodly hours, may the seven watch over you!

Love!
