 Lapse of Reason
Tonight....i have an experience to share...
experience that involves a conversation
majorly done through glances and stares..
words that are these days considered rare...
words that saved me from an evening of depression...
a look that pushed me into a step towards progession..
simple gestures so lost in the people of my generation..
I sat on the train during the peak hours of yesterday..
i was surrounded by the bunch of noone's and nobody's
the ugly..the unwashed..the misunderstood..the lonely..
and some with the feminine charm of the vermins....
the financial times capitalist..the useless punk..
the thin girls who dine on a lettuce leaf and water
followed by the many puffs of marlboro lights..
the teenager with self harm as a hobby...
and other things influenced by life and tragedies
the reality shows with the life of stupids....
magazines with interviews of the so called celebrities..
dreams and ambitions of the brainless class...
Botox the only answer to the ticking clock..
fake boobs and a lot of unwanted make up....
works blunders..and makes a woman nothing like a woman..
if you get what i mean...for now i wonder
why do you these things surround me on my random journies
why can't my brain shut and give me some peace of mind?
why is it that i feel..what i seek..i will never find?
i met a beautiful stranger in the train today..
she was really strange...she initiated a conversation..
i wondered if it made any sense...but as she spoke..
i realised she's the only thing that makes sense to me..
she had the words...that saved me from falling....
she took some time out of her life to show me a mirror..
the mirror that showed what life is..and im capable of....
she took interest...i never had an idea that I could move a stranger....
with my throw away lines and some deluded romantic proses..
for i suffer from a lapse of reason...
for i am "the" dysfunction personified...
I silently write...without any walls....
never fancied anything organized..
so i could possibly wonder and write forever.....
the question is...will you see it? will you care to read it?
a simple reason..im alive now..just like you...
and tommorow..what i might not be there..
im never shirking in my duty to disappoint...
failure of the glamorous kind...fcuk can rhyme...
so tell me where is the crime...in longing?
where's the guilt in being needy?
where is the pain in feeling lonely?
where's the fun in fading slowly?
a simple gesture from a lovely stranger...
with lines..that brought a storm in my head..
her intentions...to save me from myself....
Words that came out from her lips touched my heart...
a conversation that lasted  for the distance that is two stations..
the distances were long..but her charm made them short...
and then our journey reached a hault..
like a gift well wrapped with misery....
tripped up by self indulging......
who ever gets what i am trying to say..
wins the next finished article of the day..
I have practised the best love in my head
and found a cure for the friction of despair..
i suffer a lonliness of the type..that is marked by
you being surrounded by a crowd of people
who adore you but simply don't understand..
I will make you breakfast all my life...
i'll tie you pigtails and hippy brades..
if only...i reached your soul..
if only..i touched your heart..
If not...then maybe we should just live in....
live in..what we're suppose to leave behind..
lets just breathe in..yes...let just...
breathe in and sniff  the air that is colorless...
"lets just sack the world and ride the ride"
oh well..those were my lovely stranger's lines..
the lines that sweeped me for a while..
the words that saved me...yet felt strange....
the words on which i survived...only until her station arrived..



I recorded a song today for someone...i hope you'll like it..
Though i am not sure how many of us are into Pink Floyd..
but they're simply worth the indulgence...their music is brilliant..
i guess i did well with he guitar notes...actually this is one of
those easy to play songs that sound wonderful on an acoustic guitar..
so i tried my best....please feel free to comment..cheers

So, so you think you can tell...heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain....
Can you tell a green field...
From a cold steel rail?  A smile from a veil?...
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade...Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?...Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here...
We're just two lost souls...Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year, Running over the same old ground.
What have we found? The same old fears..
Wish you were here......
Wish you were here.....

Sometimes the end of a station can be the start of a new journey, as long as we don't forget to take a rest in between, sometimes the fast train seems a distant dream as long as you keep your focus on that :)

The song is amazing - powerful lyrics : a lead role in a cage, makes me think if time just passes by without realising what we trully have.

Love your thoughts, and your version of the song :)

Ok, maybe it's just me...but this really reached me...really said a lot to me...I understand where you go...I know about those journeys between heaven and hell...my favorite line was,
"like a gift well wrapped with misery....
tripped up by self indulging......"
As I read this, I wanted more and more to hear you read it...like def poetry...that would have been awesome!!! Have you ever tried it? Man, this one would be perfect...

Thank you for sharing that...I loved it...five stars and bookmarking...Now, don't leave me the standard comment about a comment....this was too profoundly wonderful...(you can say nothing at all, if you wish).

You words though simple, have the power to move mountains by the sheer force of their intensity.

Someone once told me to smile more. When I asked why her reply was " A lot of people out there are extremely lonely and all they want is a little recognition, someone to smile to give them the strength to survive one more day. A smile costs nothing but has the potential to save the life of someone you don't even know".


to save me the wasted, save me from myself
i lie just to be real, and i'd die just to feel
why do the same old things keep on happening?
because beyond my hopes there are no feelings
everybody's lost just waiting to be found
everyone's a thought just waiting to fade

Smashing Pumpkins - Tales of a scorched Earth

P.S. the song is incredible!

I am a Pink Floyd groupie. With that expertise may I say that your rendition of this song is soulfully poignant and the best interpretation, in my opinion, you have done to date. I believe that if we humans were honest with each other and ourselves we would fess up that we are all lonely. Star Trek, Borg's Seven of Nine said it best when she said to the Star Trek humans, "How can you stand this loneliness?".

Greunie..you simply get me..


PS: I often get lost when i listen to songs by Pink Floyd..
for i know not everyone could have written and sung
the songs like they did...
Posted by  isuckedthemoon  on 2009-08-17 23:35:26 
  
You touched my heart as usual...I wish I could give you hugs right now to help with all this...I know of lonliness and pain and being surrounded by crowds of people with not a one to really look at me and know me...I just want one pair of eyes to 'see' me...Just one...:)

we're sailing in the same boat..aren't we?

hi i kno its been awhile but i am back :]

so yah i guess if you hav read my recent blog and the about me on my profile u wuld understand why i am saying.....so u saw me at the train "the thin girls who dine on a lettuce leaf and water" i am one of them
and "the teenager with self harm as a hobby" thats me too

so this part hit me "i met a beautiful stranger in the train today..
she was really strange...she initiated a conversation..
i wondered if it made any sense...but as she spoke..
i realised she's the only thing that makes sense to me..
she had the words...that saved me from falling....
she took some time out of her life to show me a mirror..
the mirror that showed what life is..and im capable of....
she took interest...i never had an idea that I could move a stranger...." it made me cry but in a good way

and this too "so tell me where is the crime...in longing?
where's the guilt in being needy?
where is the pain in feeling lonely?
where's the fun in fading slowly?
a simple gesture from a lovely stranger...
with lines..that brought a storm in my head..
her intentions...to save me from myself....
Words that came out from her lips touched my heart...
a conversation that lasted for the distance that is two stations..
the distances were long..but her charm made them short..." this was just beautiful :]

again moonie you r a beautiful writer

Wonderful as always love... If I saw a beautiful boy like you sitting on a train, I would like to think I would be able to strike up a conversation, though honestly I would probably be too shy :)

And kudos for picking one of the only Pink Floyd songs I actually do like heh

You are such a ray of light and love and... I really needed it tonight so... thank you...
Posted by  Northernskygal  on 2009-08-18 00:10:07

We're all lonely for something we don't know we're lonely for. How else to explain the curious feeling that goes around feeling like missing somebody we've never even met?

Many times we touch people's lives without even knowing it. There have been days where I have been sad, and a simple smile from a stranger who meets my eyes has lightened that mood. They never know what they have done for me, but they have touched part of my life. This happens to everyone.

Wish you were here has always been a favorite song of mine. I have not heard it in a long time. Thank you for helping me to remember it, and the memories that come with it.
Posted by  Night_Dreamer  on 2009-08-18 13:42:27 
  
true...people do touch lives without any clues at times...

PS: it's one of my favorite song as well!
im glad you took time to read me and listen to my song..
Posted by  isuckedthemoon  on 2009-08-18 13:46:12 
  
The first half of this is deliciously honest and true. I loved it, it was so realistic and I could picture myself in your shoes for a moment. Not to mention, I'm a sucker for Floyd. Neat idea you have going here and I look forward to "another poem in the blog"
...
That didn't work out as well as I thought :P
Posted by  smileforthecamera  on 2009-08-18 21:40:42 
  
pleased to know that you read me!
im quite a sucker for pink floyd as well..
and not sure if these are poems but it's all that i can write..
so yes tune in again..the next write is happening soon...
once again thank you for listening/reading me..keep smiling!

That was intense. Our self centered generation is missing out on so many of the simple things in life that can make one so happy.

I've missed ya too, btw. Havent had much to say in a while so I havent been on. Take care!

Again I step in super late to set you up your well earned 5 stars which aren't nearly what your worthy of. I sit here fixated to your voice and the sweet lyrics that bring life and meaning to a vast empty space that imprisons me late at night or early in the morning, and I realize that even that in itself is a blessing. The emptiness that engulfs this room have taken me by the hand and lead me to your door again. So, do you hear me knocking? I wanted to say hello my long lost friend, it seems I fell away for awhile. I hope to visit alittle more regularly now. Take it easy, and know that I miss chatting with ya.

Funny how one person can just change everything in a heart beat. To have randomly found someone who could give you what you needed to make it another second in this world surrounded by people who truly just dont give a darn, You were lucky to have found her. ITs funny how when you feel you aare the most alone someone always shows up and almost slaps you in the face giving you a reality chck saying your not alone that you are the exception to this blob of worthless people. That you are what makes them out to shame. That you are going to be in situations where it may be days maybe even weeks were you feel like possable i just dont fit in because you are not like everyone else you see. This women happened to be on your train at the exact same time as you sitting that close to you and changing the way your out look on the world was destiny. she was sent to you because you needed to be reminded that what you say and do does make a difference. That your music and words change the aspect of everyone who hears or reads them. Your words move me and make me read the world around differently. You do Belong. You have a perpose dont forget that.
