Perplexing and Perfect - Parallel Universes

 Dwell 

In the present 

NOT in your whimsies 

Because in your own mystical world 

That is trapped within your own mind

Anything can happen 

Absolutely ANYTHING 

But, it was never meant to be REAL.

See, there's no fault in wishing 

Simply brooding over and hoping  

What things might be 

Rather than what things are.

But it does not do to try to make them real.

You see, the weight of each moment that passes by

Every second that you let slip 

See, it's heavy, it's heavy to carry and alter.

Every little, seemingly unimportant moment 

In your life 

Well, it depends on an even more insignificant 

Yet significant frame in your life's animation.

And absolutely nothing lies within your control

Or your notice 

So it does not do 

To try to make the very little things happen.

But what if I tell you,

What if I tell you that there is another universe 

Not just any universe, but one parallel to us

Our mirror, yet doesn't completely reflect ours

Another beautiful universe, with another beautiful you

And maybe even a universe

Where your fantasies are true.

I'll let you brood over that fact,

I'll let you ponder more about 

What might be,

But keep this sharp note in mind:

The more certainty and belief, the more joyful and alive reveries.

    Beautiful poem pattu kutty!! You’ve touched upon a very interesting concept of parallel universe! Parallel universe is no more a fictitious concept, though it may seem so at the moment. Quantum mechanics suggests that the cause and effect of anything that we do today at this moment in this universe might have n different results in n different parallel universes. Alas, it is still a conceptual theory in science and till proven otherwise , we still have to live with the fact that there are no do overs , there are no backsies, there are no different consequences to our actions. As you rightly said, wasting time on brooding over the ‘what-if’s’ and ‘only ifs’ will only waste our time in the universe that we are living in currently! Best is to not ponder over what could’ve been , but accept the reality and move on with our life!!
    This is very matured writing da kanna! You never cease to amaze me with the kind of elevated thought process that you demonstrate in your poems!! Keep writing da pattu !!
    Loads of love,
    Shyam Aunty

    Iam wondering how such a high philosophy enter into your mind and come out as High standard words. Life gives us experience and for your age you are able to think and express your experience with valuable message. Feeling proud about you. May God bless you.

Long Lost Sleep

  After a long, exhausting day, the only thing all of us look forward to is SLEEP. So, as soon as you finish off the last crumbs on your dinner plate, you fling yourself onto your bed, rest yourself in a comfortable position, get your pillow nice and fluffed up, and throw the blankets on yourself. But then... You just realised that you still have your big, wobbly earrings on. So you throw back the blankets and remove your earrings and leave them in their box. And then you're back in your bed, and just as your eyelids are about to close... You realise that you haven't brushed your teeth. So, yet again, your throw back the blankets and get off the bed, letting the annoying, creaky sound fill your head. And then you throw open the door to your bathroom, get your brush ready and squeeze toothpaste onto it, but... The tube seemed to have a hole on the back, which you sadly hadn't noticed. And you get toothpaste all over your hands. Fuming, you wash your hands and get things done...

So Close, Yet So Far

  What you knew you had right beside you What you never knew might leave you What you had neglected for days What you wished was still there, within your gaze. That miniscule amount of hope  That you feel lingering close by You could open out your arms, embrace it, But suddenly it's high in the sky. Once within your grasp, But now away from you, Don't waste a moment on a wee gasp, Time won't stop, and the moving hope too. Each moment is to be caught, Each memory to be cherished, Hold them carefully in your arms, Before they shall vanish. The consistent inkling when you feel, Something close, yet so far, Is only because you know yourself, That it is within your grasp, but not within your confidence. If you're positive enough that you can hold it, The 'it' that is mysterious and something only you know, You can hold the precious 'it', Clutch it tight, don't let it go. You must be close to the end of the day, With its cliffs and slopes and Rocky slides,...

Stars

  Shining in the vast night sky, I see them from afar. Dominated by the brighter moon, There glimmer the stars. Mostly hidden by the cruel shadows, Or by the thick, misty clouds. But they do not give up, they still glimmer on, They make their voice be heard loud. Even though they're hardly seen, Even though they're hardly thought of, They know that someday they will be, Thought of, honoured and loved. So take an inspiration from stars, Show your true essence, Continue to shimmer, ignore the darkness, Because one day it'll fear your presence.
