my thoughts are loud

[metamorphicallydead]

I will love you if I never see you again, and I will love you if I see you every Tuesday. I will love you as the starfish loves a coral reef and as kudzu loves trees, even if the oceans turn to sawdust and the trees fall in the forest without anyone around to hear them. I will love you as the pesto loves the fettuccini and ats the horseradish loves the miyagi, and the pepperoni loves the pizza. I will love you as the manatee loves the head of lettuce and as the dark spot loves the leopard, as the leech loves the ankle of a wader and as a corpse loves the beak of the vulture. I will love you as the doctor loves his sickest patient and a lake loves its thirstiest swimmer. I will love you as the beard loves the chin, and the crumbs love the beard, and the damp napkin loves the crumbs, and the precious document loves the dampness of the napkin, and the squinting eye of the reader loves the smudged document, and the tears of sadness love the squinting eye as it misreads what is written.

I will love you as the iceberg loves the ship, and the passengers love the lifeboat, and the lifeboat loves the teeth of the sperm whale, and the sperm whale loves the flavor of naval uniforms. I will love you as a drawer loves a secret compartment, and as a secret compartment loves a secret, and as a secret loves to make a person gasp... I will love you until all such compartments are discovered and opened, and all the secrets have gone gasping into the world. I will love you until all the codes and hearts have been broken and until every anagram and egg has been unscrambled. I will love you until every fire is extinguished and rebuilt from the handsomest and most susceptible of woods. I will love you until the bird hates a nest and the worm hates an apple. I will love you as we find ourselves farther and farther from one another, where once we were so close... I will love you until your face is fogged by distant memory. I will love you no matter where you go and who you see, I will love you if you don't marry me. I will love you if you marry someone else--and i will love you if you never marry at all, and spend your years wishing you had married me after all. That is how I will love you even as the world goes on its wicked way.

Someone made me think of this guy and the way he could say so much with only a few words. The whole book is a masterpiece, but these words never fail to give me goosebumps all over.

I have come into possession of this tiny book, finger for scale:

It's full of quotes from The Old Man and The Sea, which I have not read. Most are vaguely inspirational but others just, aren't?

It's a surprisingly dense little book, I wonder how much of The Old Man and the Sea it actually quotes?

There are times when wisdom cannot be found in the chambers of parliament or the halls of academia but at the unpretentious setting of the kitchen table.

I am forgetting how to say simple things to my mother. The words linger in my periphery. The words, a rear view mirror dangling from the wires. I am only fluent in apologies.

And I can't even look back in anger, my mother loved me before she didn’t which means the mistake must have been me.

It was many and many a year ago,

In a kingdom by the sea,

That a maiden there lived whom you may know

By the name of Annabel Lee;

And this maiden she lived with no other thought

Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,

In this kingdom by the sea,

But we loved with a love that was more than love—

I and my Annabel Lee—

With a love that the wingèd seraphs of Heaven

Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,

In this kingdom by the sea,

A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling

My beautiful Annabel Lee;

So that her highborn kinsmen came

And bore her away from me,

To shut her up in a sepulchre

In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,

Went envying her and me—

Yes!—that was the reason (as all men know,

In this kingdom by the sea)

That the wind came out of the cloud by night,

Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love

Of those who were older than we—

Of many far wiser than we—

And neither the angels in Heaven above

Nor the demons down under the sea

Can ever dissever my soul from the soul

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side

Of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride,

In her sepulchre there by the sea—

In her tomb by the sounding sea.

पास आइये की हम नहीं आएँगे बार बार

बाँहें गले में डाल के हम रो ले ज़ार ज़ार

आँखों से फिर ये प्यार की बरसात हो ना हो

शायद फिर इस जनम में मुलाक़ात हो ना हो

लग जा गले…

[metamorphicallydead]

जाने वो कैसे लोग थे जिनके प्यार को प्यार मिला

हमने तो जब कलियाँ माँगी काटों का हार मिला

[metamorphicallydead]

फिर ले आया दिल मजबूर क्या कीजिये

रास ना आया रहना दूर क्या कीजिए

दिल कह रहा, उसे मुकम्मल कर भी आओ

वो जो अधूरी सी बात बाक़ी है, वो जो अधूरी सी याद बाक़ी है

[metamorphicallydead]

मीठा सा ये ज़हर मैं तो पीता रहूँगा

तू ख़ुदा ना सही मैं तो सजदे करूँगा,

तुम जो शीरीन ना हुए क्या हमको फ़रहाद करदो

[metamorphicallydead]

किसी की मुश्कुराहटों पे हो निसार

किसी का दर्द मिल सके तो ले उधार

किसी के वास्ते हो तेरे दिल में प्यार

जीना इसी का नाम है

[metamorphicallydead]

किसी का प्यार लेके तुम नया जहाँ बसाओगे

ये शाम जब भी आएगी

तुम हमको याद आओगे

[metamorphicallydead]

मुबारके तुम्हें की तुम किसी के नूर हो गाये

किसी के इतने पास हो,

की सब से दूर हो गाये
