In the eyes

 Alright, I know it's supposed to be long form post but it's coming soon...I think. This poem is dedicated to my mother, it would be more fitting on mother's day or something but let's just consider this as an advance gift for next year.


In the eyes


It is in the eyes I tell you,

Misty wells of sorrow

Brow knitted and furrowed

Moist and wet

Happiness to be found yet

Your sadness


It is in the eyes I tell you,

Blue skies with swirls of clouds

Yellow sandy beaches with crowds

Clear streams and bright flowers

Night sky abounding in stars

Your joy


It is in the eyes I tell you,

The envy and injustice

Stare and glare, cold as ice

Grip tight and squeezing

Until removed of all feeling

Their malice


It is in the eyes I tell you

Soft words, unafraid

Resolute to provide 

Will stronger than any

Suffer more than many

Your kindness


It is in the eyes I tell you,

Untold sacrifices none spoken of

Even when the going got tough

Only caring more

Strong to the core

Your love

One of our greatest assets, the ability to think

Image
I was in one of those pensive moods again today, thinking about all sorts of things, when I thought about what I was doing right then. I was thinking. It seems like I'm stating the obvious when I say that but one would be surprised to know the number of times we subconsciously do things. Our body is built to adapt and suit our very multifaceted needs, whether it be hiking the Himalayas or sitting at a desk job from 9-5 every day, our body gets the rhythm of things and optimizes how it works to align with your energy needs. One of the few things about our body that we do have almost full control of is our ability to think. I have always felt that our most underrated characteristic or feature as a species is the ability to think, to be conscious and to be able to communicate this with others of our kind and do meaningful actions. It's often taken for granted and that in my opinion is a great travesty.  Thinking is what got us here! All the modern amenities we use and can't to

Friends and expectations

  I'm going to give it to you straight, I just ended a friendship with a friend who I was friends with for the past few years. So I am a bit bitter and angry at myself for not managing to keep it alive and that may come across in my writing. Now just for the sake of this post let's call this individual LT. LT is a slightly older friend of mine who I met playing Minecraft a while back, we bonded over certain common interests and we gradually went on to talk more and more. It was a great friendship strictly speaking, we were two intellectuals conversing about a variety of topics, his views were purely logical and often a fresh perspective to me. I enjoyed talking with him and he in turned encouraged me to keep up with my passion. It might be of interest to the reader that I was inspired by his blogs to actually start a blog up again. His role as early editor for my fledgling book Old Memories, New Beginnings(That title was created by him). He helped me out unconditionally and ass

Living in harmony with fear

In today's media being fearless is a trait that is often worshipped. Choices that are made that go against the grain is considered fearless as the decision-maker doesn't care about the consequences of that particular choice. Songs, poems and even blog posts like the one you're reading. glorify being fearless, and with good reason. A person who fears the consequences of his decisions will never make a decision at all, which certainly isn't better than making a bad decision. So clearly fearless people are wont to be the most successful of all; are they not? Well not always. I'd say a successful person can be fearless on command. Perpetually being fearless will cause you to make rash decisions soon, which will end up causing problems for you, ergo making you unsuccessful. Knowing when to consider how your actions will have consequences is the trait of a wise man indeed(And woman, please don't cancel me on Twitter). Much like death, fear is ostracized in society. Be
