Imagine
All those emotions
All those thoughts
All those words
That you had drowned
Inside yourself
Imagine if they let
Themselves out
As if they
Had a mind
Of their own
A style
Of their own
A channel
Of their own
Those UNHEARD words!!
Those UNHEARD thoughts!!
Those UNHEARD emotions!!
You might end up like this :D

Quirky and Queer

I was passing under a tree and a sudden quirk had me photographing the tree. The Cannon Ball tree. At great "personal risk" The fruits are as large as cannon balls and allegedly allergic and to some extent poisonous as well. Means mechanical as well as chemical damage :O
It has kinda queer looking creeper like appendages from which the fruits and flowers hang. Oh I forgot, it has very very very beautiful flowers. And my camera (phone) had decided to focus at a very queer point. None of the beautiful details are emphasized :(

Some people drink champagne out under the stars
While others drink wine leaning over a bar
But all that I need dear to make me feel fine
Is to know that your love will forever be mine
I'd give an ocean of diamonds or a world filled with flowers
To hold you closely for just a few hours
Hear you whisper softly...

It's not that easy bein' green
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
When I think you could be nicer being red or yellow or gold
Or something much more colorful like that
It's not that easy being green
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over
Cause you're not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water
Or stars in the sky
But green's the color of spring
And green can be cool and friendly-like
And green can be big like a ocean
or important like a mountain
Or tall like a tree
When green is all that is to be
It could be you wonder
But, Why wonder, why wonder
I am green, and that'll do just fine
And it's beautiful, and i think it's what I wanna be

Please Excuse my busy schedule for the day. I shall be reposting E-for-Elephant from an earlier post.
Looky at the nice little flowering cactus near the bottom of the Elephant :P I really love this pic cuz the header of lifeiszany is very much like this. A mooning Elephant :D
Ohh.. and here's a nice little
limerick verse written by J.R.R.Tolkein
Grey as a mouse,
Big as a house,
Nose like a snake,
I make the earth shake,
As I tramp through the grass;
Trees crack as I pass.
With horns in my mouth
I walk in the South,
Flapping big ears.
Beyond count of years
I stump round and round,
Never lie on the ground,
Not even to die.
Oliphaunt am I,
Biggest of all,
Huge, old, and tall.
If ever you'd met me
You wouldn't forget me.
If you never do,
You won't think I'm true;
But old Oliphaunt am I,
And I never lie.

Now not charging :P

Warrior filled with metal gears
Walking the size of a metal gear
Refer to me as The Bull
Feel the wrath of my blade
And view my metal gear
- Lyrics from Metal Gear by Dan Bull
This photo has been posted for the A to Z Challenge. Today's alphabet is B (for Bull).
An old adage says "Take the Bull by the horns".. But has anyone wondered - no one's said anything about what to do after you've done that. And has anyone thought from the Bull's point of view. It would be like "Damn, leave my horns alone!!!"

Adrian woke up still feeling very drowsy
He looked around, he seemed to be in a garden
He was surrounded by flowers. They were
Paper flowers. Bright paper flowers
"Is this a dream?" he thought...
The wind was softly whispering in his ears
As if singing a lullaby
Lulling him back to sleep
Unable to control himself, he lay back...
Through the trees he could see
A colourful sky -
A wonderful abstract of hues
of reds, greens and blues...
And then it began to rain
the raindrops were calling out to him
"Adrian... Adrian...
You do not belong. Leave before you're taken!!"
Adrian got up, slowly walking
He didn't want to leave this place
He'd never been so peaceful in his life...
And then there was this noise
A disembodied voice
like metal grating over metal
Speaking to him,
"Adrian, You're mine to claim"
Adrian began to run
as fast as he could
but a shadow was creeping up to him
a black shadow with a human head...
But...
