So..that’s Enough
So..that’s Enough
A thousand bullets in the Heart
Attempt to Count
Shall add thousands more
Bodily injuries healed and gone, since
Reminiscences tell, injuries at Heart
Deep and Red hot
Covered by Ashes
Bullets sprayed by the Loved ones, and
In Society they are as much
Have torn my Heart Apart
They still shall Spray, yet
I live by the courage Installed
Shall HE extend the Age?
Bless in Perfect health
Another 100 years or two
HE shall not, I am sure
Every morning I pray, take ME away
So..that’s Enough.

My Dear Ngobesing!
You call me a Great Poet and Philosopher, though I cherish it as a great compliment, I feel every person is a Philosopher in his or her own way.
They live by their own philosophies. Good or Bad.
You try to touch them and shake, they shall be shaken of course but shall shake you terribly. It is their Philosophy.
What Me?
There lies the World.

So this is how I interpret what you are saying and please clarify if I am wrong. Your heart has been broken many times, it has healed and then has been wounded again and again, so much so that you have had enough and no longer want to live and ask HIM to take you now. I think this reflects most peoples lives, very few of us leave here without our hearts being wounded many times,not only by our loved ones but by friends, co-workers, people we don’t even know…and this soul, hopefully it’s not you specifically, is done with life! Quite a deep poem Shiva! Once again you impress with your insight, passion and depth!

You are a Dear One and such words shall come out from the fluency of your mind. I deeply appreciate that.
You are right it does reflect the lives of many people and their Hearts. I feel it should not be misinterpreted , misunderstood and most importantly to be received in a positive way. Though the last two lines shall make one feel to be negate.
I shall come to you again in due course.

Injuries to the heart are the toughest. When one thinks of the heart, one thinks of the the soul. Injuries to the flesh can naturally heal, but injuries to the heart take time, sometimes a long time. And sometimes with hard work and determination.
I hope your sufferings serve to be a teacher for you, and that you come out of them stronger and more perseverant.

Stacilys that’s beautiful!
The construction of the Heart is that way you see, it breaks and doesn’t heal, it breaks again and doesn’t heal.
But as you say it is the hard work and determination that works, they soothe. When I say it in my own words-
“I live by the courage Installed
Shall HE extend the Age?
Bless in Perfect health
Another 100 years or two”
They say what you said.
For the time being leave it aside, I think you have read “those moments are enough”.
Have a nice day My Dear!
Yes! Valentine’s Day

This long war of life vs. death drags on for-the-ever…battles won, battles lost, hard days of discouragement…but I know Life is eternal, as death rules for-the-ever and will end in itself. Death likes to trick us in times of pain and discouragement into thinking we long for him and the nothing he offers but what we really want is life without death and for the war to end. Hang on, Shiva. Remain allied with Life and there find healing for the wounds incurred during battle.

Heart is meant to break; the construction is that way, you see!
You read it some other time for more than what’s written whenever you have time.
Right now go read “Those moments are enough”.

This was superb and power packed. So many things cross crossed in my mind. So many times I have been stabbed and yet again I rose to walk. Sometimes by Co workers, sometimes by friends. Each was the the hurt was same. Only I emerged stronger. Today I forgive them for that is what they are… and thank god for what I am. But I don’t forget. And stay away from them. And close their chapters for good. No amount of pleading or sorry can then make me open it again.

Oh My Dear Ranju! I had to come back again to say a few more words. Looking to your today’s quote sent, I am to clarify a few things about this post.
The title of the Post and the last two lines do speak of enough of this life. In the comment section above some friends have also taken it that way and they have their deep feelings and love towards me and my writing, I am deeply touched and moved.
I clarify to YOU here are the other lines:
“I live by the courage Installed
Shall HE extend the Age?
Bless in Perfect health
Another 100 years or two”
They speak of my positivity towards life. Health is the greatest Wealth that could maintain us here. So I Ask Him that….. hahaha😀
No matter they spray bullets and stab, we shall emerge back to fight.👀.
Am I giving some stuff for you to write more posts.
Hehehe.😃
