Locked Mind....

-
Locked in my mind
All the thoughts
Struggling to come out
The moment they are in

Me in vain… all the time
Trying to pacify them
Trying to streamline them
Trying to make them amenable

Never realize that
There is no synchronization
Between what I feel
And what I do

Heart is a fool… imagines
Mind is a tool… controls
Imagination…becomes thought
Mind manages imagination

All through life……
Tug of war between these two

None loses …none wins

Life sustains…with locked mind
(For Poets United: Verse First ~LOCK)

That old voice in our minds can give us a lot of trouble! I get tired of the tug of war and put down the rope - smiles! Totally relate to this poem - especially "mind is a fool!"

Yes, those words can remain bottled up inside until they burst forth like a well-shaken bottle of champagne. I've had that feeling, too, and you describe it so well.

I have not read you before, so I'm glad I found you at Poets United.

Hope I'm not being too presumptuous, but I think your poem about be much stronger if you took out the exclamation points... sort of like writing in all caps, frenetic. I offer this in love and appreciation for good writing, believe me. Peace, Amy

How well you demonstrate that tug of war.

That sounds a bit like the overall 'human condition'.

Friends are like memories

Friends are like memories Some good… some bad Some sweet…   some mad True you can choose them But it’s they who decide…. to stay or leave Friendships are like cyclic process You meet …you mingle You treat…you part No one is permanent No one is life long They keep coming and going Some come for a season Some come with a reason Remember…they are like memories In fact …with time, friends become memories You evolve… Your thought evolve… Your memories evolve Bad may become good Good may be become bad…. Seasons do change…reasons may differ Remember… Friends are friends forever Friends remain in memories forever For Poets United Poetry Pantry #293

Jaane Kahan Gaye Woh Din?????

-
Mukesh is my favorite singer. And when I am young….specially during teenage days I use to madly listen to his songs. There is a kind of magic in his voice with inexplicable sadness…. That use to take me altogether to a different world. There are n numbers of Mukesh songs….which I know by heart and can sing along! But this one is like the ultimate…..Jaane Kahan Gaye Woh Din! Whenever I listen… there will be definitely tears in my eyes…. by the time the song is complete! The voice, the lyrics and the music….no match at all! And today I don’t know why? after long... long... time I just felt like listening to it! All those …who are sensitive at heart can listen and enjoy! Kyonki…. ”Baadhe saukyamane bhaavana raanevoy! AA yeruke nischalaanandamoy…Brahamaanandamoy”! Learn Telugu if you want to follow it!
