[Meme]: Untitled

Right my brother has thrust the responsibility of continuing a meme on me (play on words? and did you know myself in French is moi meme??) Of course, he also says that I know the words I know (To be clear: I know the meanings). He does not know that I have mastered the difficult art of saying of course and smiling knowingly whenever something you have no idea of comes up. But I am enamoured by words and this may have led to my knowing a lot of word origins and therefore their meaning. In fact I am thinking about starting A word a day post. But knowing me it would probably be A word a month... Anyway back to the meme, (by the way I dint know the meaning of meme before I saw this)  The meme is Abstract Poetry. Now we all know what a great poet I am, if you have doubts they will be quenched here, here and here.

Now I know you are tired of link jumping, but here's one more. This one is a collection of poems by children and it is truly abstract as the theme is "abstract nouns."

Anyway here goes nothing,

Here goes nothing,
I was born in a still night,
The darkness loomed over me,
But of course I couldn't guess then,
That the darkness was only on me.

Here goes nothing,
I married out of grief,
Yes out of grief and into happiness,
For love was the theme,
In a marriage made in heaven,
But mine was in earth and Love not its only one.

Here goes nothing,
Writing is a pleasure,
For it transmits emotion and they lose ownership,
In a manner a writer is an ascetic and a communist too,
You may ask why, To those who do, I quote,
"To those who understand you don't have to explain, and to those who don't it is no use explaining"

Here goes nothing,
I have a son whom I can call son,
Only I don't for fear,
He won't call me father or maybe,
Just maybe because he will,
Now he is 6 and twenty but he was born on a still night too,
But the darkness was there, on me not on him,
So when they named him, I refused to name him after me.....

Here goes nothing,
As I lie upon my deathbed,
I feel the darkness lift atlast,
For now I know that the purpose,
Was to live and then die, And then,
to live again, So as I travel in my party,
The party for the dead, The drums beat loud,
And I cant hear the people say,
HERE GOES NOTHING...

Well I hope you enjoyed that one. Just to clarify, I have merged together the usual themes of any poem, Life, Death, Love, Hope, Fear and Relationships. Of course I left out nature, because my brother has that one covered. This poem is inspired by the movie of the year Tamizh Padam. I am also adding the link which was part of the meme's beginning, Agila's So far away.

Well since a meme is meant to be propogated, I am tagging my enormously talented junior, Uttara and my senior's brother who is an incredible writer, Sharanyan.

P.S: Abstract poem means this.  Very interesting person who has contemporary mentions in metal.

P.P.S: The quote is from "aaru lernthu aruvathu varai (From 6 to 60)" An awesome movie. It has Rajini Kanth in a god awesome role. One particular song possesses great lyrics. I won't say which one though..

imagine

A green hill top..

A beautiful panaromic view.. of village rooftops and misty ponds,

Of distant mountains with snow covered tips, with pink slopes shining with the rising sun,

Eyes closed you can still feel the green around you,

Bare feet and warm grass do make a great combination,

Those dew drops make it all seem new born, Just created, like fresh baked cookies,

The scent of the morning is so heavenly, Sniffing at it gently, The greatest fragrance.....

The giant red ball rising ever so slowly,

The sky a light red, Like paint splashed on a canvas,

The gurgling sound of the stream nearby,

Fresh, Oh! so fresh, Sparkling, jumping water that you cannot see,

The cool morning breeze wafting on your face,

Made cooler by the warm water still on your face,

Dripping slowly, trickling down the contours,

A sudden chill, a sudden draft, A silent shiver,

But, wait, What's this?? Not cold anymore,

The blighting cold driven out by a warm hug,

You look down to see a pair of small hands,

Clinging tight, But reassuring and loving,

The hands of your love, your life......
