The path I once chose....


OK, now i really can't call this one a poem..but i cant call it a pure pros as well..hmm..well, i guess ill call it a combo of the two..and people, don't go by the words OK, i am not this negative all the time!..but its good to be pensive once in a while!..so here goes......

I had started from those crossroads thinking that I'll never see them again. But alas, today i am back there, once again, the people have changed but the pain they caused is the same.
I remember the path which I once chose to take, but forgive me my heart, I know that I failed. It was my resolution that I never will, fall in love the day until; things will change and the tables would turn, for a change it won't be mine but their hearts that burn.
Everyone says be practical, learn to see between the lines; people pretend with open minds. But I always thought it was not true; if there is true love, we'll always make it through. For nothing can ever be stronger than love, coz its not the minds but the hearts that lush. You can always think that that you go by the mind, but I claim that its not so in mine. When god made the mind to win over others, he realised that this is not what he wants his world to be. And then came the life that beats within all- the pain, the joy, the envy, the blush- yes, it was the heart indeed to control the mind that goes and fleeks. It is love that makes the world go round; you may stop the mind but there'll be the sound; of that heart that beats inside, not for you but for those you might..!

But today i see it was stupid of me; the world goes not with the heart, but the mind it seems. The sooner I get it the better it is, I know now it was me who was wrong. And now I am back at those crossraods and i choose to yet again go on the path i once chose. But all I ask this time is a little more strength, cause being hurt is what i want never again. I want that this time /i don't detour and keep going on...the path i once chose!

hmm..well that's it..now i know its slightly sad..actually its just very unexpected from someone like me(those who know me wud know)..but what the hell, i just scribbled it down and whatever it is (altho im still wondering where it came from), its an original!!

Now that i read it properly, it is sad.. what happened suddenly? why do you feel the path is going to be like the one you once chose?
that was beautifully written btw..

Never think that a path passed by is gone forever. You always plan on never feeling so much love for a person that you just know it will end up hurting u in the end but we humans are like suckers for punishment. we want that at the same time because we want the good times along with the bad.. and though that's good.. wouldn't it be nice if you could never have those hurtful times come? We plan on being practical, thinking with our minds and not our heart, but exactly that happens and we sometimes fool ourselves into believing that it's our mind controlling our heart.. its the other way round many a time..

but I feel that wat u say in your last para contradicts the stuff before...

hmm..thnx for commenting..but this is one item which has so far been straight from the heart..i dont even know why i out it here..coz u know divi that what is really true i seldom let it out..but i just felt the urge to put it coz i really like this one..now for some clarifications...
no body wants the hurtful times agreed..but every1 knows that they'll come..and that is the whole beauty of love..but i think u should read it once again..this time read slowly and think on each and every wrd..ull realise (maybe!)..kher, the point is bad times are acceptable when its not always one person getting hurt!..its complicated!..sometimes life makes u realise that u had been a fool loving some1 so much coz things were not what you thot them to be..i mean u were into the thing fully but the other person was not, because the other person is maybe just too practical life!..so its not at all about the bad times, its just about those whom you love!..
secondly, ive written na..that i know ppl believe tht they are running by the minds..but they actually are going by the hearts..but the poet never went by the mind till date..until he realised that going by the heart gave him nothing but pain!..
and thirdly, very smartly assesed divi..the last para is contradictory..i knew ull catch tht (im proud of ya)..see, that too has an explanation..tho tough to understand..read it carefully, the last para shows the max pain..it shows that this guy altho knows that actually the entire world runs by the heart but still he is compelled to be blindfolded..its not an eye opener but an eye closer..coz knowing the real way gave him only pain!!..i hope ull get it once u read it properly..the last para is contradicotry agreed..but that is the whole beauty and the pain of the poem!!
kher, the point is i hope u liked it..coz it came straight from the heart!!..and i mean really straight!

The piece was beautiful and the comment above, even more so....

As Abraham Cowley once said,
"A mighty pain to love it is,
And 'tis a pain that pain to miss;
But of all pains, the greatest pain
It is to love, but love in vain."

Like plants were made to flower, flowers were meant to wither and men were meant to die,Paths were meant to cross, Love was made to hurt and Hearts were meant to be broken.
