Wall of Words



Her heart must be ash where her body lies burned. 
what hope lets your hands rake the cold in real time?
- Agha Shahid Ali in "Ghazal"

There are words which are so so beautiful. Words which conceal pain. Sentences. Intricately crafted sentences.
They say more than they intend to say.
Time is not a healer. It merely conceals.
Pain is never hollow. It's the greatest reality.
The moon isn't beautiful. Its flawed, stealing another's light.
Love isn't real. It is the greatest lie.
Karma's a bitch. What goes around does come around.
Fear is a flaw. It creates and destroys.
Reality is a myth. But there is no parallel universe.
Colour. Darkness. Voids. Destiny.

But you still look for what's not out there. And pretend you've found it eventually.
True. That.
But there's a strange solace in words.

Hey Hi,
Just came across and liked your blog..
Wondering if you're a photographer or a poet!!!
Are the shots taken by you and are the poems written by you???
Anyways, both are fabulous!!!
And why no details on either sides??? No access to even your profile page!!!
And your choice of template is also good... :)
Do drop by mine sometime.. :)

Sounds Deep.
But i'd beg to differ."Karma's a bitch".Not quite.What goes around surely comes around, albiet in different proportions, which vary accordin to one's karma.There cant be no pain.Yes, there can be more pain,less pain.Without Karma this universe wld have been all pain or all Rhapsody.In short Bedlam.

PS:Ur words too said much more than they intended to...U seem saddened by something.Yes?Dont b.Life's too short for that.Coz,
'What goes around comes around = Allah ke bandhe hans de, jo bhi ho kal phir aayega' :D

Hello Bhushavali :)
Thanks for stopping by. I'm technologically challenged. So I can't figure it out but my details can't be seen when you visit my blog through firefox. You can when you uses IE or Chrome.
The photos aren't mine. Only the writing is.
You're a fashion blogger!!! I always wanted to be one. I promise to stalk your blog now.

What overtly looks deep is always shallow. Karma brings sense to the universe. You're right. But what must exist need not always be appreciated. :)
you read between the lines. You're a little bit right. But yes. I try to be happy. Thanks for the concern. Not many anonymous people express that. :)
Come again. And thanks for visiting.

Love and All That,
Niya
