Thoughts & Musings
A trigger pulled at my mind
and they came to incriminate me.
Instinctively I tried to hide,
They intended to agonize me,
to destroy me.
But denuded by my ferocity,
they melted.
I vanquished them,
yet remained void inside.
Maybe, I am.

I do not discern the questions
For which I seek the answers!
Unresolved uncertainties persist.
Yet this insanity torments me
To continue to question.
The singular infinite chaos,
Reigns...
Concealing from my intellect,
Even a meager insight
Into this perpetual quest.
The soul shall rise,
The soul shall know,
It shall be,
And it shall not,
In eternity.

One unanswered question,
leads to a hundred more...
One unnerving doubt,
sprouts a million more...
I am shattered and shrivelled,
Trying to find what I am made of;
Vacuum and silence - they are all I get,
When question after question
Runs through my head.
In this darkness, I grope for light,
In this nothingness, I forage for substance,
In this shallowness, I desire depth,
In this delusion, I seek the truth...
The liberating truth...

a clear reflection,
on still waters
contended existence
nothing else did matter
the wind blew away
the last autumn leaf
it rippled the reflection
and it was gone
now nothing does matter

my heart is heavy and sleep isnt close
when the shining stars have disappeared, there is but darkness all over
but a hope for dawn remains
this single hope that sustains life
Srividya
(23 Sept 2006)
As the lashes of lightining startle the sky,
The latent weariness wraps
the earth in a cover of blissful sleep
A silent surrender to the depths of reason,
in a fresher gladness of awakening.
Srividya
( 3 Sep 2006)
From my hidden beginnings,
I watch the images from my dreams,
The jewel beyond all price,
PETRIFY...
It's just CHANGE that stays.
Srividya
(29 August 2006)
Memories languidly linger,
With dissonant thoughts...
The cursed sleep draws not the veil
of darkness thick upon my weary eyes.
In my struggle to grope for the coveted path,
In my seemingly unending wait for the first light of dawn,
In my frantic search for the missing piece of my soul,
In my struggle to outwit destiny,
I am lost in my dissonant thoughts...
The voices scream through the void,
yet there is just pervading silence.
Srividya (16 August 2006)
some ppl walk into our lives and just walk out,
some ppl run in, and run out in a hurry...
some ppl stick, and that too for life
some ppl waft gently and when they leave,
there has been a storm and
i am transformed thereby...
Srividya (27 July 2006)
Time rolls on,
We move on.
Its only memories...
Until we are gone...
Srividya (13 June 2006)
in the silent luminous stillness
i feel you near...
in the dark, ominous wilderness
i do not fear...
because i hold you
in my heart,
in my mind,
in my memories
in my life and
in death...
Srividya (25 March 2006)
The last glimmer of sunset merges
Into the dark night...
In silent amazement,
I watch The frowning forest
Shimmering in the fading light...
My fluttering heart knows no calm;
The gates are open, My arms outstretched:
Don't just pass by like a dream!
Oh Please...
Don't just pass by like a dream!

Haunted by the quiet desperation,
Confounded by the unrevealed purpose
Of this exhausting journey...
Oblivious to the subtler shades of meaning,
To sustain and inspire,
I walk into this
grey twilight that knows neither
victory nor defeat.
The blues lift,
as enlightenment dawns:
Launching into the winds of life,
I realize that in the twisting kaleidoscope,
I am forever,
an inhabitant of eternity.
There are no endings.
Only new beginnings.
Srividya (4 November 2005)
perceive the beauty in everything you see,
life is defined merely by transience...
feel the feelings you long to feel,
before you realize, you have lost it all!
Srividya (6 March 2005)
The golden rays of dawn,
Forces its way into the morn,
I wake eternally into
A moment drenched in love,
Dispelling misery...
A haven in my troubled soul,
I wake eternally into
New realms of understanding
the world...
Srividya (25 September 2005)
every drop of rain,
that kisses my cheek,
as i stand arms out-stretched,
embraced by the gentle breeze,
melts and transports me to non-existence!
Srividya (11 September 2005)
ps: i was sitting in the library in my final semester, trying to study when the weather outside was most romantic. and when the rain drops began falling, i couldn't stop myself from just rushing out and then this poem...
In the silence of your soul,
Can you feel the peace?
What do you conclude?
Does silence speak?
In the peace in your heart,
Can you hear silence?
What do you conclude?
Is silence peace?
Sweet, but firm,
The voice of silence.
Strong and stern,
The voice of silence.
Tranquil and soothing,
The voice of silence.
Sometimes intimidating,
The voice of silence.
My ultimate strength,
This resounding silence!
Srividya (6 September 2005)
