A conversation on life ........................... : Where were you yesterday? The phone had been dead cold! : Busy, you can say. : You? In what may I ask? : Dear, of course you can. : Then I am. I want to know. : Busy in living a life. Life is a piece of loaf soaked in the milky tea which he is sucking forever, forever- sucking till the last drop and cannot let it go or break his habit to keep on living. : I have got the job. : My congratulation. Congratulations are sparkling fireworks he has kept from the early childhood, saving for a day of bells and cheers, a day worthy in truth. Of course such day keeps being delayed. The soggy fireworks only burn and leave a trail of smoke to follow and find the sleeping child inside, sleeping eternally. : Well? : Well! The well in his house at back home where his birth was greeted by laughing women joyfully uttering lewd jokes in the ears of a young father- had been dried one summer. His brother found the bed of the pit and they found him one day too late. : Why is it difficult to whisper goodbyes? : Because it may be the only thing we are to remember. The living is a road on a mountain all leading to one peak where every living beings shall someday meet. =© 2009 - All Rights Reserved Kushal Poddar clever talks delay friendship! |

Yo Poddarku, Your conception of an afterlife is as valid as any. You've done nice work on this poem. Bobby |

"Why is it difficult to whisper goodbyes? : Because it may be the only thing we are to remember." Profound. Good to read you again, poet. |

Kushal, I can feel the heavy-heartedness in this, and it saddens me. Your beautiful stream-of-consciousness poem is a good way of releasing the aches of reality of the dark side. I will pray that you soon are warming yourself at the communal camp-fires of the sunny side. A white butterfly is trying very hard to lighten your burdens and make you smile, long, deep, inwardly and outwardly. Owl |

quote: Dearest Ku, in surrendering to what is, we go on living in wonder for life itself, even when melancholy and sorrow mingle with joy. To read you is to touch life and its intrinsic emotions very closely. You are a most beautiful poetic voice. Love and hugs. Margherita  |

I felt as though I was eaves-dropping in on a very intimate conversation. You draw the reader into the realm of whatever you are writing about. That takes talent ~ and you have that in copious amounts. I also enjoyed reading the responses that your 'conversation' engendered ~ especially Midnitensun's and OWL's.   Linda |
