Tragedy is better forgotten
than understood.
The Lily of lilies better hidden
behind some ambivalent wood.

Choose dishonesty,
not ignorance nor innovation.
A sublime poem
was once killed by revelation.

- I saw 'Wilde'.

I thought of a play today...conceived a play if you will...
and when I say I'm thinking of a play, the first thing I always think of is the music... I know exactly which songs, tracks, sounds go where...

Characters are initially just moods... just tangled up feelings and pasts... what blends them into a story are other things like the set...
the season of the year when all of that stuff is happening...
I wish I could make it rain outside when my play was out there offering itself to others...
I wish daylight would actually creep in just as the characters begn to feel at home in the darkness...

I wish I could make the audience feel the night breeze... I wish everything could actually happen by a window with just a streetlamp throwing light over whatever is going on...

and if only I could have it all without some of those blackouts in between... not all... only a few of them...



... or was it a film?...

Whose fault is it when everything goes wrong??

Rain rain,
go away.
Come again,
another day.

A savage wind
is on its way
Let it pass,
then come to stay

I long for you.
For you I pray.
Oh Rain! Do come,
But not today.

The wind won't stop.
The wind won't stay.
It flows to blow,
Make way! Make way!!

And when it's gone,
we'll twirl and sway.
Just let it pass,
then come to stay...

Absolved by hate
Hate- irrelevant and finite,
none to suppress, none to release;

Impaired by pain
pain- relevant and infinite,
I carry on with the bilateral disease.

The sky is torn between hues and mists
Look hard, they tell me
and you'll see the sun rising...

But it's not the light that I seek
just the last ray of darkness
to cling onto...

for once the dawn breaks,
bygones will have to be bygones...

I ran out of posts for Finding neverland...
may be I'll make this an yearly thing!

That had occured to me a month ago... but I couldn't come up with a title!
I always knew my blogs would be named after movies...
I first thought of 'Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind'
But calling something that you've created 'sunshine' and claiming that it is eternal feels really weird...try it!
(especially when you do have spots on your mind)

Something similar happened with 'Girl, interrupted'... may be next time...when i feel like owning such a powerful name...
...and just as I was about to settle for 'I am Sam' (don't judge)...
I thought of Music.... and Lyrics!

It fits, doesn't it?! :-)
