"Planned Accidents"

A few calls, and many messages frantic
An attempt to improve my mundane view,
Finally the phone rings, a reply, and answer much awaited
And I collide with something new...

A reserved meeting breaks lose
On the highest peak, a point above me,
A sudden attraction, a thought irrational
And I collide with something I want to be...

The scene changes, the room gets dimmer
Voices and laughter, the silence by which many live
The drinks slide down the throat, a trance
And I collide with something impressive...

My head starts churning ideas
Thoughts flow as people, in and out, words stream,
Music blocks my vision, only one in focus
And I collide with something of a dream...

Sanity leaves me, innocence now felt stupid
The realization of an amateur, a passive child,
Even the best fall down sometimes, I fall hard,
And I collide with something wild...

As the hands turn swiftly, time passes by
The ride continues, full control of the wheel,
Signs, glares, conversations everywhere, I just listen,
And I collide with something I can't feel...

The unwelcome Honesty shows it's bragging face
But with each wave of a gesture, aspirations rise, a smile,
The mood becomes comfortable, rhythms echo
And I collide into something worthwhile...

No promises faithful, not even an attempt to please
No scope for partiality, a genuinely truthful liar,
A reluctant goodbye breaks the dawn, abrupt, but fresh
And I collide with something which lights a new fire..

good job of putting the convolutions in your mind on the paper..

do you always write so well when you are drunk? :P

Haha thanks for that..

It's always the other way round tho..I don't get high and write..I always write and get a high:)

Maybe you should try it.. get high and write that is.. unless... you're scared of the ramifications........ might give your "ends" a new means' :D

after a long time i felt some coherence in your post in terms of transforming your abstractions into thoughts and then words and vice versa.... so thats a good sign.

you are getting there , but not quite there
