I Wish

These days I've begun wishing for the intangibles.

I wish for eternal happiness...
I wish for World Peace...
I wish for End of Hunger...
I wish...

Its not because of noble intentions.
Its because
I've long ago
exhausted my wishlist
of any and all  frivolous items...

They usually ranged
from cakes to copulation!

I wish for a Blackforrest cake ,
and no one to share it with.
I wish for a Blackforrest Cake ,
and a Girlfriend to share it with.
I wish for wild monkey sex with the current Penthouse Pet...
I wish...


There came a time when I had stooped so low that I'd settle  for anything...
like,
I wish for World peace...
if  not ,
I'll readily settle
for a scrumptous serving of
Blueberry Shortcake.
(Mmmmmmm....shortcake:))))))))


I wish I was more creative with my wishes...

Wishing Game:

The view out at sea is breathtaking.

No , really...

I wish I could do justice to it with mere words...
I wish you could se what I see daily...
I wish for a lot these days...
Its fun.
Try it sometime.

I'm lost
The sea is infinite.
I'm lost
The space is infinite.
The looming horizon delineates both infinities .
(Is it possible for more than one infinity to exist ,
and if so , can infinities co-exist ?)
The difference is in shades -
 lighter or darker.
but I'm lost
in infinity.

With the sun up ,
 the sky is light blue
and the sea is sparklingly turquoise
and on dark nights they are shades bluish grey .
The difference is only shades-
lighter and darker.
But I'm lost

(break to prose, veer off course )
                                       The true meaning of Krishna is 'Dark Blue' , the colour of deep space.Lord Krishna's swarthiness symbolized the infinity of the universe encompassed within himself.
Embrace the krishna within yourself.
Hare rama hare krsna-hare krsna hare rama rama rama krshna krshna...chant for eternal peace...chant atleast a 108 times...abstain from anything that you enjoy -smoking , sex, spirits et al.
Enough of pop-spirituality for today...

(Today's goal:Go and scare a hare rama freak(the bald caucasian man with a pony and saffron clothes)the  today: sneeze at one and scream 'OMG EBOLA !'  and watch their krsna consciousness kick in)

Infinity hides within shades of blue -
relatively lighter and darker,
just out of reach ...
and comprehension.

(break off and explain this madness)

The wishing game was something I do for fun.Every night , standing in the pitch black darkness , I look heavenward in search of the infinity within.

"To look within one must learn to look without" , said a bearded  guru clad in white ,  in his standard discourse filled with alliterative aphorisms(this isn't one of them ).It must have been difficult for his script writers to come up with so many alliterative aphorisms.

I said enough of pop-spirituality for today.GEEZ !

Infinity is everywhere.
But instead I see
 tiny pin prick dots scattered across the sky ,
throbbing weakly,
pulsing with life
declaring their existence
 to the rest of the universe.
(As if anyone cared !),
and then a few which streak the sky ,
in a fiery little zig ,
just short of a zag  ,
only to die
in a blaze of glory.

(break to prose, enter a flashback)

                    As a kid , I used to be enthralled by stars.The life cycle of a star fascinated me endlessly.The simple fact that accumulation of a few hydrogen atoms could make a star fiery and hot as hell  was astounding.
Though scared of the darkness, I'd stand out in the night  - looking up -lost within and without.
(scaredy cat , scaredy cat  -Nyah-nyah-nyah-nyahhhhh)

The stars were beautiful.

 They had a million stories to tell -
Orion the handsome hunter ,
resplendent with his belt and dagger
and his dogs -
Canis major and canis minor ,
Taurus the bully chasing Pleides,
the incomparable aries
Trident shaped Scorpio,
Leo resembling a donkey ,
Cassiopiea's chair ,
the winged pegasus,
Ursa Major and Minor .
They all had a million stories to tell.

(break to prose, become pensive)

My teachers had predicted a career as an astronaut  ,or  an engineer and more...but it was not meant to be.Fate ...


(break into song, broadway style)

had something else in mind !

It was out at sea , with no  light pollution , that I rediscovered my love for stars.Tra-la-la

It was out at sea , that I discovered shooting stars , that were not really stars as they zipped by.Tra-la-la

It was out at sea that the wishing game was born.    Ta-da !

I wish for a infinite more wishes...
I wish for all of Superman's powers
and none of his vulnerabilities...
(But wasn't it his vulnerabilities
that made him more of a  man ?)

I wish I was more creative with my wishes.

I wish for...

I wish that I never  run out of wishes...

(break to prose, look deeply into the eyes, and implore)

I'm truly running out of wishes...
but I want to keep playing .
Forever and ever...
upto the brink of eternity.

So give me your wishes,
whisper them in my ears
tenderly
and I'll wish for you (for your wish shall be mine)
with all my heart.(for your wish shall be mine)
I'll remember you (I promise)
everytime I see a shooting star.
I'll wish for you
(for your wish shall be mine)
I promise.
I promise.

These days I feel so happy , my eyes well up when I think about my happiness.
But one question pops out occasionally.
"Why are you so happy ?"
followed by another rhetoric one..."Does it really matter ?"
I know I'm doing Ok.
