when?




Nothing new, nothing here
Nothing sparkles, nothing near.

The rain
It washes out the softness
Leaves me dry and flaky

The sun
It steals away the madness
Leaves me numb yet shaky.

The curling dawn shuts every door
the dusk will never open,
And the days have left me far behind
to fade out in this den.

And things could change
Yes, things may change

and things will change....but when?

Gosh, u write what I feel at present..exactly what I feel actually...in fact I feel it so much that I don't feel like writing about it..

yet, I might even have a clue to the answer...when you stop waiting for things to change and start changing them yourself...maybe then...

S said...

I don't know, Inks. It pains me to see you as a shriveled prune, when your words paint a beautiful spirit who is just thirsty. Maybe I can offer something to drink, but I know it will never fill you.

I liked the pattern to this. Lack of change would be nightmarish. I guess change is a constant... if that makes sense.

Love the positive note at the bottem: things will change. Sounds like you're in the dolrums, but yes things will change... they already have, the fact that you posted this.

and things will change....but when?
Yes a question that is best answered from within !!!
I guess whenever you are ready for the change
what say ?

you are not looking hard enough or maybe you are looking too hard. things have already changed. YOU have changed.

might never give us what we want. cruel life. you deal blows with those innocent and splendid. you toy with those who live to admire. its the fate of some lives to endure pain, and others to profit from our defeat

aria said...

you have something for almost every mood ..

San said...

when you least expect them to.. just like the tone of your writing does :)

this question haunts me too..

i guess you (and me too!) should stop wanting and waiting for change to happen. stop expecting change. it'll happen (for better or for worse) when it has to happen.
