Thoughts

Dismal thoughts
Slide me into an abyss
Another tryst, I have in hand.

Fighting the thoughts
Carries the weight
That saps my being
Away from peace and bliss.
Though devoid of many things
In pain I still owe YOU
An existence,
Which I shall never repay.

Am I the thoughts?
That glides by swiftly
From second to second
Or
Am I am the witness?
That sees the thoughts
Passing through
Like the salty waves.

As thoughts when I am part of it
I exist melancholically,
When I withdraw and enter stillness
Nothing but me remains.

  4. Dismal thoughts can set mind on a right course, only at 'certain' times though....

    in our belief systems -- life takes a rebirth to repay those in the previous birth....

    so what is given could the givers due in his/her past; what is owed is your due for the next...

    and the cycle alled life continues...

    melancholy is not good for health Cylop..take a walk outside you will feel fresh..

    i choose to be a critic of you at my blog, yet like to remain a friend at your blog until you say 'no' :-)

    wishes!

  5. Pondering images... Our thoughts hold great power over us

  6. The 'seer' and the 'seen' are one and the same - it is we who make them separate...
