I

I, Me and Myself!

I have been calling your name I have chanted A billion warped prayers Lost in a timeless wormhole.

Waiting is infinity I have waited Ignoring taunting thoughts Eating my conscience.

I have been flying On invisible battered wings Spiralling in eternal circles Of an endless realm.

I have been weeping Empty eyes shedding Dry silent acid tears Corroding my skin.

I have been laughing Artificial affected agonised screams Stretching lies creating lines On a scarred face.

I am normal Don’t you perceive Don’t you see Don’t you observe Am I not praying? Am I not flying? Am I not weeping? Am I not laughing? And just for your acknowledgement I keep waiting!

What stayed with you?

A line that lingered, a feeling, a disagreement. Great comments are as valuable as the original piece.

So Nilanjana, the best part of your writing is the sense of flow and suddeness. You are very artful in the art of sensuous deception. But sometimes in a maze of words, i tend to feel lost and bereft of natural energy. The "you' as against the 'I' in your poems seem to me at different times as, God, your ex-boyfriend, your father, and more often someone from the male species. We writers are a mirror mind species where every single word is a mirror added to the maze of our thought What do you have to say ?

I have stressed over and over again that I leave the readers to make their own interpretations about anything that i have to say. I write neither for or against "man"kind. For that matter, it is humankind in general and my disposition and contribution towards it. I know that "God in Coma" has been more often than not interpreted as angst - angst towards the male species. I leave the readers to their own thoughts for I do not want to invade their personal interpretations - their lies the charm of individuality. And thank you Deepsee. I leave you to your valuable interpretations and musings (often my musings are found ridiculously "amusing"!)

My dear Nilanjana, you possess a talent of spinning and weaving words into a web from which no one can escape. The pure genius of the mazes you create where time and religion is trapped is a marvel. You should post this particular poem on www.poetry.com. You deserve to be a poet at poetry.com. For your readers' sake, please post some of your poetry there! :)

Thank you again Hemant. Now you are making me really embarassed. One of my pieces was chosen for the book published by poetry.com last year. May be I will send one this year as well. As for Time - it is relative as Einstein. We "trap" ourselves in it and we use religion as a weapon to justify that entrapment. Thank you for all your encouragement again. Just that thought somewhere that there are people with whom I can share an experience is enough for me.
