On Love

 Love does not hurt. No. It doesn't. Our expectations do. The memories do. Miscommunication does. Our ambivalence does. Anger and/or rage does. Painful anguish does. Lacking of respect does. Our regression of mental state does. Our desperate craving does. The fear of or the shattering itself of our dreams does. Inadequate love for ourselves does. Lack of our own self's clarity does. Resisting to comprehend someone else's perspectives does. Various life altering situations affecting the connections do. Our self-serving biases and prejudices do. Our condescending acts, behavior or attitudes do. Agonizing in truth does. Unintended or intended hostility or malevolence does. Apathy and the lacking effort does. Rationalising or intellectualising the truth does. Displacement of our harsh emotions of anger, sadness and such into someone or something else does. Other various factors may hurt. But no! Love in itself does not. It is purity in itself. I might not even be wrong to write down that it is the basis of our whole existence.

Intelligence and stupidity: A constant battle

As an evolving species, how much significant and accomplished are we? Homo Sapiens Sapiens is a species with high intelligence, and one of the major determining aspects for that, is our unique curiosity and ability to find new information. Altogether, many a different aspects of our intelligence validate our highest placement in the hierarchical composition among all the species living on Earth. However, we seem to live simultaneously with two of our very own contrasting natures. On one hand, we might be intelligent and significant in ways that we don't even yet realise. And on the other hand, we are so infinitesimally small in the universe, while causing such a damage to this planet and her ecosystem, that we seem morbidly stupid to the point where our existential value looks questionable in itself. We always seem to partake in the battle between these two natures. A shrub grows into its full capacity, so does a mountain lion. But when observing growth in Homo Sapiens, different d...

When I'm Home

She asked me what art of seduction was, I swayed my lips across hers, hers were bleeding. Zillion bars, were falling down as a million stars. Vulnerable as she was, I could mislead it but understood her holy texts, reading, without her speaking. They say, patience dwells on silence mine dwells where she's missing, vulnerable as she was, fell down a million stars, a million stars, vermilion stars, blood dripping, word behind bars. I swayed my lips across hers, hers were bleeding, I gave her my last kiss, goodbye, a poor man taken by the war, run dear, guns are near.
