Angelic Longing

-
I haven’t found it yet
It’s nowhere close to me
Well it has never been
I’ve never found the key.


Am I different? I wonder
Why does it elude me?
Oh I’m not wary of it
I may confess I used to be.


There are times, I look for it
Frantically, you may say
But the code remains a puzzle
The lock is here to stay.


How then should I unlock it?
Will it come to me?
As a brilliant surprise
For everyone to see.


Well, I shall wait for it
Patience bears good fruit, they say
Although, the chastity wanes
Let the sun shine, I’ll make hay!

    I guess "it" is love. I'd have liked to see a more adept adjective describing the longing though! 'Angelic' is much to worn out,(almost banal - critically speaking) if I've got the context right. But I still like the word.

    There is a longing coming out from the words. Such elements of poignancy always help the poetry stay alive. Compose on...

    @Sagar: Indeed the poetry has a certain context of love in it. I shall not deny it. But its not 'ONLY' about that. If it had been it would have been very shallow according to me. But Apart from this I leave it to the reader to interpret because its the reader's interpretation that enhances poetry's effect. About the word Angelic- I can see why you find it banal but I've used it more on its 'innocence' based meaning than anything else. Only to contradict and still add on to the end where the chastity wanes. . . Thanks for the review :-)
    @Chai: I think you will figure out from the above explanation.

When The Buddha Smiled on India...

On 12 th October 1973, David Davies- a geophysicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who worked on seismic detection of underground nuclear tests- predicted that India would be the sixth country to conduct nuclear weapon tests. After 7 months he was proven correct by the ingenuity of Indian scientists and the fortitude of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Canada sold a 40 megawatt Canadian-Indian Reactor, U.S. (CIRUS) to India in 1956. India had the necessary manpower and capacity to develop and test a nuclear weapon. The heavy water needed to control Nuclear Fission had been provided by the US. So what made India abstain from performing the nuclear test and from becoming the first Nuclear Power? It is probably the chaste intention to maintain a mellow camaraderie with the other countries or a mere lack of grit in the Indian leadership. Meanwhile India refused to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty in 1970.  When questioned over it, our ambassador to t

Do you know what a breathalyzer is? The device that cops use to estimate whether a driver is drunk or not. Yes that one in which you breath into the device and it tells you whether you have had alcohol. Well, if there were a breathalyzer to detect the level of stress in a person at a certain point of time we would all be taking the test. It would become a household commodity like the weighing scale. People would measure stress every morning before leaving home and every night before sleeping. Psychiatrists and Psychologists would make you take the test before they call you in for an appointment. Now imagine if this device could measure the stress according to the category of stress - the alcohol analogy would be: measuring the alcohol content by the type of alcohol; how much whisky, how much beer, how much wine and how much vodka has been consumed? Take -stress due to family issues, stress due to social issues, stress due to personal issues, stress due to workplace issues and so on..
