After what felt like
Aeons of monotony
I feel for the first time
Curious, Unusual
Strange.
Strange
Like Old times
Somewhat there
Though not quite.
Weird.
Strange weather
Inside my head
Uncanny warmth
Down my thoughts
Glint of sunshine
Music from a distant shore
Enticed to un-resist
The craving for more
Tempted to scare away
Clouds of Ambiguity
Scepticism, Contradiction
I feel
Unhinged.
After what seemed like
Aeons of frost
I feel for the nth time
Unnerved
Amorphous
Imperfect
Strange.

A very dear ilander friend of mine has sent these amazingly beautiful lines as an ode to ’strange’, lines that truly compliment the lines above (has anybody heard of cis-trans complementation? never mind, thats a hard-core genetic term 
) …my friend chooses to be anonymous hence my hands are tied (however itching my fingers might be to shower credit for this wonderful gesture)..but this is probably what I’ll think some years from now,, the later the better though
The Inevitable
After centuries of ectasy
For one last time
Let me experience
Boredom, routine and cliche.
Cliche…like it is fresh
Always been here
But was invisible
Yet inevitable.
Bored ozone layers
Within my soul
Such familiar chill
Inside my being
Shadows of clouds
Silence of blood
Refusal irresistible
Never again Never !!
I face it head on
Confusion no more
Vanished paradox
Enigma unfurled
My freedom!
Later I knew just
Icicles formed in nano second
I sense it now, then, again and again
Confident, formulated
Routine and
Cliched.
Good poems , both of them(cis-trans complementation as in the Crick and Watson model?..college days so far away in the past, you see). Is the friend for real or did you write it yourself. It’’s perfectly asynchronised
two lovely poems back to back… what a lovely experience it was to read them… The flow was so smooth.. nice one. its been a long time since i read some good poetry… I now feel happy that i chose to visit your page today… thanks for that lovely work

feeing strange is just a normal strain- especially for the unhinged amorphously arranged brain! nice poem, just joking! what happened?
kuch to hua hai……kuch ho gaya hai…..2/4 din sey lagta hai aisa…..sab kuch naya hai…..:)))))))))
Ambiguous wordings
Yeah, sometimes you could die just to feel good old you. Nice poems both. And its a great thing to have a poem in response to a poem. I mean I once write a coupla lines as a comment to this lady and she got all emotional and all. I mean she’’s real sweet, this lady.
