Recoinage ....

I
With impudence I lived
always like a famished man, for
lashings of liquor, were routinely
emulsified in compulsive time, but …
with a hatchet in their words succinct
they acted as my tireless prohibitionists.

II
Experience does have a pseudonym in time
it passes on in the memories enshrined,
they have been telling me
the selections needed a change,
for everything that they could pass on
had long ago, been successfully ensconced.

I now have a few selections more
for I did finally change …
I changed my bookcase old.

Alok,

Every day, we are in need of some changes. Some for us and some for our surroundings. Changes will make us to adjust with all. But.. this should be in a good way...

...I love it!!!

And btw, did you know there's ana ct of passive reading and an act of involved a give and take, almost reverential as a meeting between your self and the author, and corrections..that was wo it was done in older days..a serious contemplation.

read this, please? please?

esp the last part!

Jeevan said...

Boredom would only be left when their is no change in life. changes are the only thing that don't change. it was simple good.

Keshi said...

sometimes change comes with a price...

Keshi.

Toriz said...

Just wanted to let you know that I'm still reading and enjoying your blog. Your poems are excellent!

Alok said...

Rose thank u so much, why in older days, u have live examples today as well :) btw i read tht piece :) tc

-----------------------------------

Zofo thank u for liking the part, tht line is my fav and somehow is a summary for this piece, ty

-----------------------------------

Mani thanks buddy

-----------------------------------

Jeevan so true buddy, u hv hit the nail on the head, the only thing tht is constant is indeed change

-----------------------------------

Keshi i was thinking u knw, after I read ur comment, when i look back I have realised all things comes at a price, sometimes we are able to negotiate and we get a good price, sometimes fate has a monopolistic attitude and we pay a price that is unimaginable ... it is easier said than done Keshi, but do we have any other option but to accept tht change whether forced or bought ... wld'nt life be just a tad bit easier if we accept it ... as i said it is easier said than done for on so many occassions i have just felt like a looser ... but then are we really loosers?? ( i have got into a mode where i start contradicting all i say, so i better shut up) you take care ....

-----------------------------------

Tori thank you so much, u don't know how glad I am

take care guys

Keshi.

Alok said...

-----------------------------------

-----------------------------------

Keshi true, I know exactly wht u r saying and if u rem I had said in that post of urs ... words sometimes are insufficient, I hold the same feeling today as well ... take care
