I await my red boat with white oars,
that I envisioned in my childhood,
golden rays glided along the simmering water
welling up to swing my boat towards me,
once relax with a book in hand, my hat
perching stylish on my forehead look on.
The symphony of the twittering birds,
merges with the gurgling river, my cheeks
turn crimson as the light brighten the
orangy skyp, drawing zig zag patters amidst
the thick woods that line the banks.
Shade granted by the book in hand,is a
welcome guest
Beautiful elongated, fingers, occasionally
play with the floating vegetation; visitor
eels and strangers of the water world. A swarm
of butterflies carry me away to the
bridge of colours that slides down into the
lake of laughter where the fountain of bliss caress.
A peck in the ocean I see, could it be my boat
My boat of imagination!

Baffled
You are right, thats a lost , stoned look.
Beyond the unstaring eyes lies
a life that halted to tick!
Staring into nothingness;
living an era that has gone by
yet alive and brimming to the verge!
Enchantingly captivating, lead on
by the power of the stars, the heart
strings tugged, bliss in abundance!
Beginning at the end, the beginning yet
to bloom, the anxiety throbbing heart
spell bound watches the belief in hope!
Yes, stoned I am! As a stoned can be!!!

Script Frenzy
The script frenzy excitement is slowly weaning off and I feel drained. I am slowly floating down from cloud 9 into the world of reality; from the highs of the frenzy writing to the lows off a blank mind.
The script Frenzy started on April 1st, it a month long writing of 100 pages in 30 days on software called celtex. I was new to screenplay writing and the software. It took a while to get used to both. It was a crash course learning and writing. Sitting and writing and rewriting hour after hour, discussing and planning the plot, sketching the word picture of characters, everything consumed my whole being. I lived like the characters and with the characters, talking to self, avoiding unnecessary conversation with neighbors. The minimum pleasantries sometimes I have avoided. For a while they looked at me strangely, but later on even my snoopy neighbor was afraid to disturb me.
Once half way my story stopped and I had no idea how to continue. In the forum writing buddies helped with tips to move on with the story. Then with renewed vigor I completed my script in 21 days. Rest of the days I spent fine tuning and polishing it.
Its a wonderful script based on a dream that haunted me last year. The protagonist is a princess and she is on an extra ordinary journey to find her imaginary lover. She faces love and treason simultaneously. In the end her powers of the mind and intuition helps her in outsmarting her enemies. All in all, it would make a great action thriller.
By touching the finish line I won the Script Frenzy for the year 2010. I thank all my online friends who encouraged and supported me while the I was in a state of frenzy.

Like a butterfly
In the warm sunlight of Winter noon,
her velvety black wings spangled with mustard
yellow, cooled my thirsty eyes. I followed her
missing a step , almost falling, unmindful of
the cut my right toe suffered.
She fluttered around, resting gently on a red
rose, careful of the thorns, the Sun smiled
The green grass bowed,
But the gentle breeze took her away.
And I sat vacant in the afternoon Sun.
