Locked in Mesmerz

What if in your dreams, someone breaks into your house and knocks you down and you wake up the next day with a blow in your head. How long will it take for you to realize the difference between reality and dream?





Waking up locked within dreams;
The Incandescent irony of truth and reality
The flawless cravings of an ideal tomorrow -
Built upon the faux hope of living through death.

In the blazing fire of the monster temple -
Forced from the third floor and on to the green bed.
Waking up in the hospital from a torrential earthquake
And still wondering about the fire stealth.



Menstruating ones thoughts of recurring desires,
Of pain and trauma of overwhelming happiness.
Lost among the innumerable strands of illusions
Caressing and cursing ones own existence

Drinking wine from a glassful of greasy sand
Unwound from an old temple of sumptuous nudity
Devoured upon the platform of worship
With the Holy Grail on the dismal aisle.



Sensuous loneliness encrowding the wrinkled mind
Speaks untold miseries of legendary deceptions
Framed through the deaf Dorian Gray
And involuntary deliberations.

Waking up within nightmares
Faces pierced with needles;
Pleading us all to open the door
And let me free out of my own sore.




free image hosting @ imageshack.usNotes Regarding the pictures:
The first picture was shot at Princep ghat with my Nokia 7710 Camera Phone in Sepia mode.
The third picture was shot with my DSC-H1 in 'auto focus locator' (AFL) mode having 1/320s Shutter speed. The fact that it was shot from a moving car with the train blurting out in the opposite direction; made it all the more challenging.
Fourth one was shot from Tanker's new residence's terrace using the in-built Digital Chroma filter (Day-light filter in layman terms.)

@chhandak: 'novice'?@#$ understatement deya ki cereal hoe daariyechhe?

@manish'da: thanks (but i just loved ur queen-wala shot. )

@anonymous-1: thanks dear. i would rather replace 'elevate' with 'shift.' coz i am not as deserving as to 'elevate' someone. (nt bein modest.)

@euphoric dreamer: even i am waiting for some outstanding poems from you.

@anonymous-2: I wish we could stop what we wanted to. *sigh*

@akaash: French would consume May/June! Will keep in touch.

anonymous: You may relate the story someday.

s: The answer to your question is very 'general'... something that I would like to keep general for the sake of simplicity and acceptance. Maybe living for others is also a part of living for oneself.

I choose to know you LESS.
Because the LESSER I know you, the BETTER.
You know what I mean.

So you aren't a woman, after all. Haha. I have been flirting with a man. Sad, indeed.
