If

He who hesitates is lost

then why

Look before you leap?

I realise these are British proverbs, so some poets
may not have heard them before,
However, they do contradict each other.

I'm lying to you,
and I'm afraid to admit it.
This cannot be my admission,
because I am a liar.
Do you see my dilemma?
Animesh Ganguly Jul 2017
Morally dissected,
emotionally conflicted,
courting one dilemma after another,
the writer in me is struggling today

In the anxiety of words failing him,
and in the fear of him failing the words,
a battle wages, enrages,
and as silently as it arrives, it withdraws

And then when one page crumbles after another,
when the mind stutters more,
the ground I had held firm all this while,
resigns, all at once

Maybe this is the best time to write,
to bare the emotions that are grey
and while a part of me longs for you to identify,
a little something, in the vulnerability of an expose,
hopes you never do.

I believe for some reasons we are trapped in our own emotions. It’s easy to say “Have fun, get out and just do it”. It takes a lot of guts to do a thing; Specially, when you have been under the weather for so long, you already forgot who you were before the storm came. Sometimes the storm becomes a drizzle and a little bit of sun goes in the way but it’s still there.

When was the time you remember you have seen the sun shine brightly and you felt its warmth deeply enough for you to shine your way out?

We've had those moments, but storms do come back. And when they come around, we would already know how to navigate the boat we've been on for who knows how long, filled with our dreams and aspirations over the rough seas on a stormy weather; and there will be sun after every storm we go through.

I’d like to say, hold on; you’ll get out of it and eventually find an island where it’s always sunny. You might even find someone on that island who you will call your sunshine. A person who had been sailing through a storm just like you and as the saying goes, no man is an island; that in an uncanny place for there are so many islands yet you’ve met each other.

Past is still in me
& future is blurred.
Sometimes I cried for both.
But moving on is all I could do,
For
The road ahead is longer ,
than the one I left behind.

So I've been thinking tonight
I put a serious thought on
how come you managed
to fall asleep so easily tonight
knowing you've said something
broke my heart and made me
feel unwanted in my early morning
