A lazy breeze on hot summer whilst I lain,
Fresh green landscapes bathed by the rain,
Fresh green landscapes bathed by the rain,
The bonfire's warmth on a chilly night,
These luxuries are savored by both of us,right?
Then why would you say, “We are too different to be together”?
To let go of everything with friends by our side,
To have no worry or care in plain sight,
A hearty laugh to appease our mood,
A companion to trust through it all,does us both good.
A companion to trust through it all,does us both good.
Then why would you say, “we are too different to get along ”?
A good day’s work and a rewarding slumber at night.
The right to fight for the right with all our might.
Beaming with pride parents and kin.
Someone who blindly believes you will win.
Someone who blindly believes you will win.
I am sure you yearn for this just as much I do.
Then why would you say, “We are two peas from different pods”?
A person who'd laugh with me over the irony of life.
A miracle that'd suddenly open a door when all's dead-and-alive.
A dining room where glasses clink over smiling faces,
And a house where kindness and kinship graces.
In the end this is what matters to me, isn't that true for you too?

I am amazed when someone understands the dustiest corner of my soul.
I tend to go after things that make sense in my mind alone.
I know and I see this happens to you too.
I know and I see this happens to you too.
At night you rest your worries on a bedstead
For me a simple cot has to suffice.
For me a simple cot has to suffice.
But does it change the fact that we both dream of paradise?
Then why would you say, “We are too different to get along”?
We have gone through times we don’t want to remember.
We have had days to cherish and to hold closer.
We both have done and said some mean things.
We both have people in our lives for whom we’d give anything.
We've had people in our lives that have let us down incorrigibly.
We both have tried and failed,sometimes really miserably.
Then why would you say, “We are too different to come together”?
Equally brittle, equally vulnerable we all are in this game
We may love different things, but isn't our love for them just the same?
We fear different things, but isn't fear itself a common thing that binds us together?
We fear different things, but isn't fear itself a common thing that binds us together?
Life threw curve balls at both of us but don't you how we've survived to meet
each other?
I dream,I desire,I cry and I love. And I know you do those things too.
So really, HOW different are we?
we are just the same, you and me, two souls bound by a force beyond.
If you say we are the same, then you know what I am thinking when I say we are different. The question is not a question. It is an answer. It is one of the few things to be figured out. It needs to be observed, admired, questioned, so that even more answers come out from it. We are 'two' souls after all. Not just one. We are two peas in a pod even if we question how same both the peas are.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes our life different? Most of the time, its our reactions and the choices we make. Most incidents in our lives are the same, with the only thing differing being our viewpoint of them. Its a question of the choices we are willing to take, the decisions we are willing to make are the challenges we are ready to face. We may be the same as you say...yet we can be as different as light and day.

ReplyDeleteYou're right. I know what you are thinking when you say we are different. Hence the poem.
ReplyDeleteThe poem is in denial of all the apparent differences that we might have.
We are always caught up with trying to understand the actions that people take and things that people say. So much so that the emotion behind their actions/words goes unnoticed. But that very emotion is something every living person can empathize with. In the emotion we can discover that we are all alike in so many ways.
It is our very core that is alike.
