So, I set adrift
my message in a bottle;
heart, sanguine
that it would reach you.
But you never were
waiting at the shore.
Were you, love?
-
People think I love the waves,
that's the reason I keep staring at them,
the reason I keep walking along the shore everytime.
If only they knew,
All this time I've only been waiting
for a message in a bottle,
that could bring me the answer I've been seeking.-
I took out a tiny container from the shelves of life, and bottled insecurities and fear tight within.
And, threw it into the sea of tranquility and hope, wishing it to reach shores of happiness.
But it midway met rocks of dejection and cracked.
Salty waters of low spirits filled in.
Now, it resides at the bottom of sea.-
To promote to non-followers
is like throwing a bottle
with the message "I exist"
followed by a question
"Do you exist?" in the waters
and hoping for someone
to not only flip the page
to read your address
written in short words
but also show up at your door
to discuss life one-on-one
as it's meant to be discussed.-
Dear Father
I know you love me and I love us for that..
I know you care & worry for me and I love us for that..
I know you protect me and I love us for that..
I know you raised me and I love us for that..
I know you scold me and I love us for that..
I know you don't want me to fall and I love us for that..
I know you want the best and right for me and I love us for that..
I know you force your thoughts and I pity us for that..
I know you don't let me experiment and I pity us for that..
I know you didn't let me follow my passion and I pity us for that..
I know you hit me even if an alternative was present and I pity us for that..
I know you curse me somedays and I pity us for that..
I know you want me to rise according to you and I pity us for that..
I know you won't let me live my dream and I pity us for that..
I know you love me and I... ?

It’s strange how the bottle travelled through the seas, my love found the note from me; she took my note and wrote to me, the bottle travelled back again to me.....-
What others see is,
A bottle with message.
But their promise to be together
Is sealed with love and floats there!

Message In A Bottle
A message brought me closer to you.
Message from the past.
A message floating on the sea.
Enveloped in glass.
A message written in despair.
Childlike in its aspect.
Sharing a mind from long ago.
To make contact was it's subject.
Over 70 years thrown into the sea.
Pelagic in its journey.
Wondering the ocean haplessly.
Then bringing the message to freely.
The message searching for a Friend from someone far away.
I'll send a message back to you, in hope we'll meet up one day.
