When I was young, I thought Ill love with reckless abandon... I wanted to taste each day as it came to me. I didnt know of art, nor of authors who scabbed their wounds, dipping their nib deep into their gash, writing tales of love, longing, desire & deceit with blood, letting it clot on paper... I didnt know of how dark & beautiful life is on the other side of my fence... Time lapsed... Life spiralled... Skin aged... Worry lines appeared on my forehead. Dark circles underneath my eyes.Then it came as it comes to all ~ marriage, rents, bills, earnings, savings, spendings... Dreams were replaced by responsibilities... Roles, Rituals, Monotony... Yet the song never died. Love didnt fade... Like a flickering fire ~ it still burns somewhere within... However endless pages of broken verses & futile poetry, turned pale over the last many summers... And in-between there were unexpected accidents, wreckages to carry, some that made you, some that broke you forever... I looked back & realised how time had flirted with me... Leaving me older as compared to others of my age around me... Stealing my smile forever... I live torn & ravaged as dreams & reality continue to collide... Some chapters have died forever... some never written... And someday Ill say a silent goodbye & will be lost forever in the haze of crimson sunsets... I wont even feature within crowded memories... So, who was that guy...? He was just a nobody... - Nitesh Noor Mohanty
