The only key to conquer the world

Pain
Mr X Nov 2014
There's a pleasure in pain...
And most of it lies in not recognising that pleasure.

Rarity
Mr X Oct 2014
It rains diamonds on Saturn...
And there's no need of it there.

Here, we run in short of diamonds
And the desire for it never stops.
...
....

Maybe rarity adds a value.

Even to a piece of glittering rock!

Perhaps that's why we crave love so much...
It's rarity makes it so precious...

I Was Dying
Mr X Oct 2014
First I was dying to finish high school and start college.
And then I was dying to finish college and start working.
And then I was dying to marry and have children.
And then I was dying for my children to grow old enough so I could return to work.
And then I was dying to retire.

And now, I am dying...

And suddenly I realise,
I forgot to live.
This is not written by me...I just came upon this while checking a few posts. I really liked it and thought it'd be good to share...

Philosophy
Mr X Oct 2014
A poet's philosophy
Is what makes him immune
To the widespread disease
Of suffering and pain.

A man's philosophy
Is what makes him detach
From all attachments
To think only of gain.

A woman's philosophy
Is what makes her accept
And live with all
The ***** truths of men.

A child's philosophy
Is what makes it realise
That there's so much left to realise
Over and over again.

Pain

Pain is such a beautiful thing...

It makes me realise Joy.
It gives me the pleasure of Relief.
And it teaches me the lesson of Strength...

₩h@t !s Art¿
Mr X Oct 2014
Is it the story behind the 'start' and the 'stop'?
Which tries to tell us that perhaps every beginning leads to nothingness...?

Or is it a huge heap of small little secrets supplied in bits...?
Which just hints to the fact that its not the concept of 'nothingness' that counts.
Maybe its all about what happens in between...
Maybe its all about what happens in the PATH...

There's a lot more to Life
Mr X Oct 2014
Maybe we grow up when we realise
Beauty is not in the shimmering of lips or in the curve of the hips.

Maybe its when we realise
Beauty is a term used by the souls and the souls alone.

Its a term which transcends all our imaginations and yet, is so much in sync with it.

Maybe its when we realise
There's a lot more to Love than just
'loving'.
There's a lot more to give than just
'giving'.
There's a lot more to hope than just
'hoping'.
And this 'lot more' is called
'believing'.
Believing in a life,
Which is so much more larger than just 'another life'.

The Phoenix in YOU
Mr X Sep 2014
Maybe there resides a phoenix in you...
Yes YOU,
You, who tried to cut the veins and paint your hands red,
You, who finally decided to just give up on your life.
Maybe inside you there rested a piece of hope,
A hope that tells that Death brings peace,
And giving up, solves all your humane problems....
Is it because of this hope or this phoenix,
That we ordinary humans often end up destroying ourselves...
Sometimes unknowingly,
And sometimes knowingly...like you did.

The truth has always been
From destruction comes life...
But you were never the phoenix you so much longed to be...
You were in fact, just another container for petting it's soul.
From your destruction, there'll never be a new life....
You've just ended up in planting the phoenix in our souls.

Truth

Most virtuous yet most painful.
Most strong yet so vulnerable.

We just fail to understand perhaps,
The most beautiful things on Earth,
Are often feared the most.

Being The Man From Hell
Mr X Sep 2014
In this purely cruel world,
My good deeds are my vulnerabilities.
My sins are my aid and the only way of survival.

Maybe Heaven comes to the good-doers
But also, it only comes to the Dead.
This world can be a hell of wrong deeds.
But it gives me a Life, which is much more worth than just being dead.

I don't know what might happen tomorrow,
But on this day, I know that I must Survive.

I might not end up in heaven
But definitely, I'll end up with one more day in this Life, which can become My Heaven.
Have tried to illustrate the darker side in humans and the plight of survival through this poem. Think its too evil?

Memory of Pain
Mr X Sep 2014
The memory of pain keeps coming back but the feeling has almost completely vanished.
Its strange that at times, I seem to want to cherish pain, but there is no pain anymore.
Nothing to cry for...nothing to feel for.
My life might attract many onlookers.
A life with no pain, a life with only smiles and laughter.
But let me warn you, its very difficult to attain such a life where you have escaped all fears of pain, all feelings of pain and all people causing the pain.  
Its not easy to reach a point where you can forget at will and remember only on command...
Its not easy...
Perhaps only when we get the whole share of our pain, we attain a state where we can switch on and switch off pain at will...
But believe me...
That's not something you'll want to have...

Stop and Stare
Mr X Aug 2014
I know its difficult to stop and let the rush in our lives take a halt for just a moment.

I know its equally difficult to stand out of our destined tracks and sit in one of those beautiful stations clouded and beautified by the fog in our own thoughts.

But believe me, to stop for just that one moment,  
Is  Beautiful.

An Exquisite Smoke
Mr X Aug 2014
You are just a vague piece of memory perhaps,
Swirling around my mind like a heap of smoke.

This ordinary smoke seems to be so alluring, that
It summons my mind to a place where your presence can always be felt.

I know there is no such place though.
Its just another strange calling, which every heart yearns for....

I know there is no You and
There is no Us...
Perhaps there is only this smoke...
Giving me company in my solitude.

A Thouand lives
Mr X Aug 2014
The thing about 'Today' is...
It awakens a new person in us,
To live another life in 'Tomorrow'.
Mr X Aug 2014
The Rage and Wrath in my soul shall burn down your black world.
The fire in it shall perish your dark soul and feed on it.

Its true, that even this tortured soul shall pass into oblivion.
But from it, a new world with clean hearts shall emerge.

Like a phoenix from the grey ashes of it's predecessor,
Like a new sun from the darkness of this never ending night.

The Masks
Mr X Aug 2014
Millions of masks on this earth,
Each so vivid and so beautiful.
Behind each resides a silent soul
With the deepest stories untold.

The masks get carried away with time,
But the souls remain,
forever the same.

They search for other masks and with it other stories.
And the stories get buried forever,
Leaving behind the greatest of its glories.

Poetry
Mr X Jul 2014
The poets tell me to be free.
In this dark dark world,
The poets tell me to be free.

I listen to their wise words.
I listen to the clinging of the chains holding our worlds apart.

The poets tell me to be free.
In this bounded world,
The poets tell me to be free.

I decide to free myself.
And stretch the wings which were cut down by demons much before this day.

Still the poets tell me to be free.
In this painful world,
The poets tell me to be free.

I listen and I cry and tell them,
I have no means to be free.
The poets smile.

They give me their poems.
They give me their songs
They ask me to sing along.

The poets sing of freedom
In this free free world,
I sing of freedom.

A Drop in the Sand.
Mr X Jul 2014
I remember that day
You told me to find YOU.

I searched and kept searching.
It felt like you were just a drop of water lost amidst the golden sands of Arabia.

I searched and kept searching,
Until I came to know you were not that drop but the sand itself which takes it's flight past time.

Capturing me in its vastness and always getting lost from my desperate grip,
I'm still not sure whether I'm just another victim or a witness to your everlasting beauty.

But just remember,
I've found YOU, as promised.

I Don't Want Nirvana
Mr X Jul 2014
Freedom from the cycle of life and death?!

This blessed life is as beautiful as a feather in the sky.
It might as well land on a thorny or muddy surface,
But what matters most is,
That one moment of flight...

I'd rather live a thousand lives.
Than give away this one life in efforts to end all the others.

To The Poets Of The Past
Mr X Jun 2014
You have said it all
And known it all.

What I think or write now,
Is just a fragment of the divine sea
Of your flying thoughts
And your cased words.

You have lived the lives of us all.
And what I live now,
Is just one life,
Amongst so many you've already been through.
To all the great poets of the past and especially to the one who triggered this thought.

Two Sides Of The Same Coin
Mr X Jun 2014
~
Let our minds be not without fear.
Lets our hearts be not empty of hatred.
Let the evil in us not die forever.
Let our souls not always be the forgiver.
~

If the earth is without fear and without hatred,
If the earth is without evil and  without punishment,

Remember,
There will be no courage
There will be no love.
There will be no goodness
Or any forgiver's heart.

They are two sides of the same coin.
If one is gone, the other is deprived of existence.

Just remember, they are all God's creation.
And His creations are as perfect as Himself.

No One Loves Beauty
Mr X Jun 2014
I am Beauty.
People are awestruck at my flawless grace.
They love my unrealistic face.

I am Beauty.
Pride follows my heavenly stride.
And flowers grow on  my either side.

I am Beauty.
People easily find my body.
They rarely find the heart within.

I am Beauty.
Always more envied than loved.
More cursed than ever desired.

I am Beauty.
Never loved by even one.
But lusted for by all.

I am Beauty.
Not made to be loved.
But only to hear Passion's call.

I am Beauty.
Happiness rests in my body.
Sadness rests in my unquenchable soul.

The Solitary Souls
Mr X Jun 2014
Friends,  family and foes...
Can they ever erase my solitude?
Can they ever erase the persisting loneliness?

I have laughed with them,
Suffered with them
And of course,
have suffered for them.

They have been there like the moon with the earth and the earth with the sun, in every orbit of my life.

But still my solitude and its silent pleasure persists.
Like the hurting echoes of the unspoken words...
Still I find myself lonely
Amidst the jostling and screaming herds.

Is it because they seem so transient?
Like a deceiving but fair illusion?
My soul makes me question even reason by making it appear like a mere dilusion.

The one who knows what we haven't questioned yet.
Is in oneness with the ultimate bearer of souls perhaps.

All our souls are destined to be one...
And in oneness there is only solitude.

What is it if its not love?
Mr X Jun 2014
I long for you badly.
And I write about you like crazy.
Words help me put out much of the feelings
Which are otherwise tightly compressed...hurting from within.

I know for sure its not love.
Coz I've barely spoken a sentence with you.
And acted in the most stupid manner possible.
You surely must be laughing behind my back.

I don't know who you are
Or even how you are.
I only know whenever you are there,
There's a quick and silent beating of the heart.
...and a lot of butterflies land in the stomach and I simply don't know from where.

I know for sure its not love
Coz when you are with someone else
I burn for a while
But then I simply don't care.

I know you're just a passing moment.
Very much unlikely to be a part of my comming days.
But for sure, in the present, your presence makes me crazy.
Coz somehow I know you are the only one I might as well never achieve.

Belive me. I'm not quite good at keeping relations happy.
I know you'll be much happier with someone else...someone special.
I don't want to spoil the unspoken magic between us,
Which of course you will never feel.

Miss...
Mr X Jun 2014
When you are gone,
Its not your smile that I'll miss the most.
Nor is it your laughter.
I will not miss your rythmic voice
Nor will I miss your amazing speeches.

When you are gone,
I'll have all those video clippings
And all those unnecessary voice recordings to be my aid in your absence.

But hundreds and hundreds of clips
Filled to the brim with your laughter and voice, will never be able to take your place.
And that's because they'll all be a repetition.
They'll show me what my eyes have already seen.
Priceless moments...
They'll never be able to create them,
Like you did all the time
With your amazing mind.

However hard I am on myself.
The truth will always be that I'll miss you.
I'll definitely miss your heart which was your aid until this last day.
But what I'll miss the most, is your mind and your everlasting soul.
I'll miss them beyond words.
