Silent Spectator


I can see what lies in the beyond...
I can decipher the secrets of the unknown...
It is so difficult being a human and yet share the divinity of the immortals.

I can see what lies in the beyond,
Which your mortal eyes cannot.
Wish i could tell you...
The secrets of the soul.
Bearing the curse of life,
I can only watch you
Make those follies.
For you see no reason
And laugh at my counsel.
My heart wants to protect you from every pain
But you seem to court only that.
I know you will blame me for
Hiding the truth from you
And gifting you a painful moment
But you will hardly ever know
That i lived every moment in pain so that i could
Free you from it.
My head stops me from such transgressions
Though my heart longs
To embrace the punishment that it would ensue.

Something wrong, Shas?

Sh@s said...

@ Unknown,
Well! She is an angel destined to live a human life for a brief period or you can see her as an Oracle(not computer language :p).

You have chosen such an interesting name for yourself that it is bound to figure in most of the places. So, go unearth the treasures/secrets. If you can relate to it then i would say enjoy the bliss.

It seems someone's close to Nirvana :P

Nice one, it is troublesome when the truth itself binds us from revealing it on the one who would be affected by its implications. Its like breathing in a congested room.

Nice lines Shas!

Sh@s said...

@ Blasphemous Aesthete,

Brian Miller said...

i think it would be interesting to know what is coming and not being able to tell, not save them from it...it would be so hard...nice write...

Heavenly Muse said...

poem sounds like'' warning full of care and consideration''

Sat_hi_sh said...

Well written ,u have put across emotions really well :)

Sh@s said...

@ Compassion Unlimited
Hmmmm..Angel and the soul ain't the same. Did i mix up the two things, unconsciously? But the way you have connected and drawn a similarity between the two is interesting and made me think, actually.
Thanks! for the lovely msg in my cbox.

Sh@s said...

Sad when this happens, when we tell or advice for someone good and they ignore..

I always think that we shud learn from others mistakes why make them ourselves ..

Loved the poem.. beautiful ...
