Yearning died
Voice muffled
Talks, annoys
Closeness, vexes
Words, those words
Torments
Silence, stings
Tear me apart
Wait!
I can't feel it
I hate that reflection
Truth or Lie?
Happy or Compromise?
Eyes deceives
My own reflection
Betrays me
Those tears, unyielding I see
Stubborn, adamant
Soulless,Heartless
I remain
Weary of this mask
Lost, I am
Screaming silence
Shatters the mirror
Melting eyes, haunts
Sardonic, My smile
Cynical, My laugh
Cold as a stone
I would rather be hurt
than feel no pain
I would rather be hurt
than feel no pain
P.S. I know after exactly 2 months this Beyond Horizon has arisen. The storm had taken its toll inside, so I had to calm it, and whats better place than this, My Abode...My Solace :D
As for the post, read it with the thought as someone says "momentary emotions" ;)
I hope to arise again soon.
Immerse yourself in this lovely tune by Poets Of The Fall- Beautiful Ones

p.s. - write only when you feel like, it doesnt matter if its 2 months or 2 days...just let it happen...
:)
I'm so glad you have arisen to share this beautiful, moving poem with us :)
ReplyDelete"I would rather be hurt
than feel no pain
I would rather be hurt
than feel no pain"
This thought/line is brilliant and I'm glad you chose to echo it :) It is so true and I experienced a time in my life when my 'gear' was stuck in 'neutral'. I thought it was a safe, good place to 'ride' through life but it wasn't, because I missed out on feeling EMOTIONS ~ without emotions, we are dead inside ...
P.S. ~ I'm really enjoying this gorgeous song! Thanks for introducing me to it :) The image is also stunning and very apt!
Beyond horizon is back!!!
ReplyDeletePainful lines..yet it captivates..
Weary of this mask
Lost, I am
I would rather be hurt
than feel no pain
A sense of relatedness,maybe
Welcome back....loved your poem...I know you would rather be hurt than feel no pain :) Still hope you get away with the pain soon...take care
ReplyDeleteThe power of brevity...beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhoa.
ReplyDeleteNever thought sometimes pain can pove to be a necessity.
Not all hurts bring pain in an imaginable, perceptible way!
ReplyDeletesometimes being cold and numb is also a kind of pain...and believe me, take it in ur stride and turn it into a positive force to make u strong and not let it break u.
and the poem is beautiful indeed, fewer the words..greater the impact :)
sarah
pain.. it teaches a lot. But hope it becomes a beautiful memory soon rather than a painful present. Take care.
ReplyDeleteSo deep and touching ..

Welcome back girl! :)
ReplyDeleteEveryone around here seem to love tho lines, I would rather be hurt than feel no pain, I adore them too but the words that stirred me more were,
Eyes deceives me
My own reflection
Betrays me.
And
Sardonic, my smile
Cynical, my laugh.
There's a deep haunting behind those words. :)
Love, ~Moonlight~ :)
P.S: The song, a beautiful one!
A haunting poem Beyond Horizon.
ReplyDeleteSad. Painful. Contradictions. Emotions. Life. Beautiful :)
For now, let the sardonic smile and cynical laugh drop dead and smile and laugh from within.
Hurt and Pain have to come anyway. Make merry while they are in transit! :P
Best Wishes
Momentary is fineeee. Phoenix! Nice post.

This is very emotional, but faith will bring you through...faith in the One who sees the big picture while we capture moments...hang in there and go with God!
ReplyDelete'I will never leave or forsake you' Heb. 13:5
Love, Janet
mesmerizing poem
ReplyDelete@Poonam Welcome back :) Loved the poem and few of the lines already quoted by many of your readers...Keep writing whenever you feel like...I guess thats what makes it beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteA doc with such lovely thoughts...I hope u remain the same.I have seen docs becoming emotionless, cold and stone hearted only because it is difficult to carry the burden of emotions of their patients.
ReplyDelete@Janet
ReplyDeleteFaith, yes definitely. But the One who sees the picture sometimes takes an exam of our patience, that I fear it might break.
Thanks for the kindness :)
@Rohit
Thanks!
@Lilangel
ReplyDeleteI missed you too over here...Thank you :)
@Alka
Very kind of you..Humbled :D
I have learnt not to sympathize or empathize when in front of patient, cause its important to evoke that pain to know the disorder prevailing (physical pain)
My so far experience has shown me that a few kind words to patients actually reduces their ailments. A stranger confiding to a doc, and knowing their emotional pain and what they are going through...I can't explain my thoughts over it in words.
Nice words :)

P.S. My first visit here, nice blog :)
*I would rather be hurt
ReplyDeletethan feel no pain
I just wish the pain came in forms more subtle rather than in such garish forms.
Faith brings us out of these things- It tough to live by it but ultimately, the journey is worth it.
@Shreya
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
@Crystal
Thanks for the wish..Yup need to feel it often :)
