We walk in this forest,
Two strangers
Lost, hapless, surrounded by whispering trees
Other people, looming darkly above.
Why do you walk away; my fingers grasp at shadows
I grope blindly, not believing the things I do see
Lonely, empty, and bewildered
We entwined our minds
Only for this?
For calling out without an answer? Cliques within cliques? A night that never moves into rosy dawns?
And....a walk in a forest?
Full of trees and dreams
And a reality to escape from
It was never my fault,
You remember that...
I couldn't help it if you pushed me away.
No incentive now to care, is there?
Yet I walk this familiar path with you,
Yearning to feel familiar emotions,
All I feel is a deep sense of loss.
Shared history,
reaches out with gnarled, possessive fingers and binds us together...
If only in our hearts.
That's okay
When I walk out of this forest
This labyrinth we call growing up,
Maybe I will understand
Why this had to be.
Maybe I will walk away
As pride tells me I should.
But for now
As we walk together
So close, yet so far,
I will let my mind and heart battle, as they aways have when I am with you.

First of all, meg, kudos to your great expression. very nice imagery of such a thought. but i was just reading ur previous posts just now and i cant help but wonder what it is you are trying to say or what it is that u think. I know its probably personal, but the fact that ur putting em up on d blog says tat u dont mind discussing them. nothing in particular, mind u. i'm just trying to understand ur stand regarding these matters - ur general stand. And i must say, ur posts r very confusing. it prevents me frm coming to any firm conclusion at all regarduing wat u think. :) i understand that it might be a matter of confusion to u urself, nothing wrong with that. but all im saying now is that each of ur posts seems to be saying somehting different regarding the same issue, ie about love and the man n such. maybe its my wrong interpretation.. i dunno! do clarify. :)
n about the adoption part, i do appreciate ur stand, and i agree with u that adoption is good. but i dont agree wid u in all that uve said. for instance, for all that we may talk of women-empowering, i dont think i'd be a single mother.not cos i cant manage it, but bcos i think hving a dad is extremely important. i dont think i'd b half of wat i am today, had my mother been a single mom. i'm talking wid respect to child developement etc..
we differ in r views for sure, but i'f like to understand urs better! looking for a good discussion smtime soon!
Love.
hey!!!
thanks so much for ur comment;I've told u, it really matters to me.
Wid regard to this poem, many ppl hav been askin me if it refers to Nithin or someone els I love. The answer is a resounding NO! It's an open ended question, a sort of groping in da dark...Hard to explain, and difficult even fer me to understand.
