Pain

…And he said
‘ As the last few days of our lives go by
As we spend the last few hours together
fighting, flirting and recollecting
all the things that we have ever done
reliving certain special memories
holding hands for that one last time…
the letter that I first wrote to you comes to my mind..’

“But if you love and must have desires, let these be your desires
To know the pain of too much tenderness
To be wounded by your own understanding of love
And to bleed willingly and joyfully
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips”

This is what I would do.. for you..and you alone!

And as they walked silently along the shore; the waves flirting with their feet.. far away from them..they saw the reflection of the water turning from silver to orange and knew it was time.. for tomorrow will be a new day… A day where they would don new masks and start new journeys..A day of Opportunities… But today.. today was the day of realization – as they embraced each other for one last time…and as the palms bid adieu..they realized PAIN..

Catching up

It was never easy. Both of us had committed terrible mistakes and there way way too many mean words that we had exchanged. But then.. now things are back on track. and look good if not great… and this is just a random post to virtually capture that moment however ephemeral that moment may be..

Manager Vs leader

I have had this confusion for long.. Whats the difference between a manager and a leader. but I think this has been the most convincing one so far -

“Managers do ‘things right’ whereas Leaders determine what are the ‘right things’ to do in the first place.” – Peter Drucker

The Suppressed Tear

We were close to an hour into the conversation
We love each other so true
But just couldnt make it through

The thought of seeing her with someone else
Brought along a thousand tears

But. no.. I cant afford it now
I had to be there for her..
for she was breaking down

Finally..she soothed down..
and as we bid aideu
She made that little gesture
Which reminded me of the good old days
and then dropped down that suppressed tear…
