Single & Facing Doomsday

 



21st December 2012.
Mayan’s prophecy of the end of the world. I don’t think it is the end of the world, but more like the end of an Age cycle. Read more here.

But, in my certain morbid way, let’s just say it was true and a giant comet is on it’s way to collide with Earth. It then poses a serious question: When it happen, who you want to be with? Is it better to face it being single and alone? I think it is a blessing to face it as a single. I THINK. Let’s talk about this more…

Let’s put on a Couple scenario:
You and your lover/spouse heard the news on the radio. Fear and panic arises. Both of you hugged & kissed to console each other. Then realization came – “When it happens, I want to be with my family and people I love & care”. Okay now, you love & care for each other, so both should be together when it happen. Ofcourse. But each of you wanted to be with your parents too. So its either you split or try to get everyone (both sides) together. Which is not very logistically realistic. Because your other siblings AND their spouses also wanted to bring everyone under the same roof.

So everyone decided to split or stay – a very hard decision to make. A decision which invariably would left someone not having their wish to be with important people they’d end their life with. Mothers to daughters for example.

Now, a Single scenario:
Heard the news, panicked, scared shitless, and probably broke down in tears thinking of your miserably lonely life will end soon – which probably arguably better, in a sense. After recovery, you’d pack your bag and went back to your parent’s home.

But then again, along the journey back home, you’d think “isn’t it nice to have somebody to share my fears, loneliness, hopes & dreams?” While everything go up in flame and blinding light, isn’t it nice to gaze upon a face that kisses you for the Love shared? A face that says “I’m glad I shared my Life with you”.

Damn it… I think the Single ones are more fucked up now. Oh well, luckily there is (less than) a month to find yourself somebody.

And hopefully fall in love.

Browsing Your Life

While browsing through your life
I saw your vibrant and sweet youth
Sparkling sweetness and soft tenderness
And I felt a twinge of what I have lost

While browsing through your life
I saw fine lines of maturity forming
Tender sensuality and radiant beauty
And I felt a nudge of what I have missed

While browsing through your life
I saw the toll of age and sadness
Yet still as bright as stars, beauty persevered
And I felt regret of how it could’ve been

Living toward the end of Life with you.

Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World

Last night there was a blackout in my area. It was a big one. All lights went out. I mean it seem like whole town was out. I was plunged into total darkness and all around felt quieter. All around felt… dead. Even my cellphone connection was out too.

The blackout took quite a while and its taking an effect on me. Sitting by a small table with a few lit candles, I felt a tinge of sadness, loneliness, and a little doomy. It remind me of a movie ‘Seeking a friend for the end of the world’. Excellent movie by the way. The last scene was about an impending meteor crash that will end the world. The last few minutes portrays how two lost people, met toward the ending of the world, bonded in journey, and fell in love – only to have less than couple of hours to enjoy the newfound connection. This couple endures the Ending together. While in a blackout, surrounded by lit candles. It was doomy.

Given my circumstances, I felt deeply connected with that movie. Only that I was alone. Felt utterly alone. While in a blackout, surrounded by lit candles.

It was doomy.

Found None

Tonight I tried to write it all down
About emotions that leeched my life away
Tonight I tried to lay it all down
About wishes undone, and dreams gone astray

Tonight I tried to coax myself to express
In a bid to empty this wrecked self for solace
Tonight I tried to ignite this deadness
To burn away the cold fingers of loneliness

I found none.
