Lakshmi Menon

Writer is a word I detest, by popular definition. I write, that's all. And dare to offend many who don't think like I do...

Lakshmi Menon

I have understood.
No one really cares about you,
Except those who quietly observe,
Understand when you go suddenly quiet.
Wait for a while when all have dispersed,
And you are left alone in a room.
Who look into your eyes as you speak.
Or turn to look at you, as you look at them.
For that is your kin,
Who needs no words to speak to you.
Arrogant are we to think we deserve them to be in our life or they in ours.
But they are meant to leave,
And we spend the rest of our lives with those who dont understand simple terms.
Those who possess knowledge, but lack wisdom.
Those who are stupid, but live smartly.

I no longer speak volumes like I used to.
Not because I have nothing to say,
Not because I dont like to speak,
Because I no longer understand the language.
It means nothing.
Thats when I stumbled upon 'silence'.
Silence, a language I never thought much about.
Even a sigh has different meanings.
I am learning a new language,
The language of silence.

From sharing everything
To sharing nothing,
We changed.
From family to an old acquaintance,
We changed.
From sharing our favorite songs with each other,
To never listening to those songs again
We changed.
From everyday texts and calls,
To not a word in all these months,
We changed
Maybe we are still the same,
If there was anything that existed between us
That changed...

It's the era of the pariahs now,
Harlots, libertines, murderers, lechers,
Will all find the Devil's advocates.
People who love them.
The good ones will be vilified for their righteousness.
Feel no guilt about sinning,
Or doing anything wrong.
For right and wrong, sin or virtue all seem the same to me.
Devil and God, are born to the same mother.
One listened to his mum, the other chose his path of defiance.
Devil, like a troubled teenager,
Thinks the world is against him,
Even his own.
He belongs to all, yet is kin to none...

People do leave,
If they find your way of life is different from theirs,
It scares them,
It bores them,
It confuses them,
Its funny,
Because you are also a part of these 'people' who judges anothers life.
To accept another,
Is to accept oneself.
Even scoundrels have rules,
Even the righteous go wrong.

Night sms quotes messages in hindi All is quite now,
The songs stopped playing long ago,
The breif conversations ended,
Pangs of passion have long died down,
Just a pile of ash...
It's spring in your garden,
But harsh winters stripped my only tree, of every single leaf...

And then I kept collecting pictures of you from wherever I could find,
I saw you in stories of common friends.
Created pictures of us together,
But archived it.
You were the secret I held.
Nothing sinister, nothing scandalous,
I did all those silly things to feel nameless joys and sorrows again,
Like a teenage girl, wanting to be a woman all over again...

White I dont think we must obsess over wanting to know people,
Thats for those who wasted their time, never knowing themselves.
For what is left in this short life,
Better we cease to know,
And start to live.
The reality, as how it is
Than what it should be...

What drew me towards you,
Was that you were so real.
Blunt as a knife!
Took me a while to understand,
You were the myth,
That real deal,
The home vibe,
All that was the illusion.
Now, what is afterall a myth and what is a fact, the reality...
Who is to say?

I followed my heart,
And it took me away from my character.
