I want a red wall.
I want to wring his neck.
I want to quell the doubt.
I want to flick the switch.
I want free text messaging.
I want to relive the moment.
I want to derive the equation.
I want a playstation 3.
I want jazz.
I want Alan Alda to be young again.
I want to be rain.
I want a silent lover.
I want a recurring dream.
I want my own windmill.
I want my mum to be famous.
I want to meet andy warhol, allen ginsberg and a polar bear.
I want black and white movies.
I want to fit in.
I want to know someone called Julia.
I want to be a cold pillow.
I want to see Peru.
I want to hear you breathe.
I want a dangling conversation.
I want fingers to clasp.
I want the smell of comfort.
I want a long innings.
I want to smile at you.
I want to be a weatherman, a virus, a reformist.
I want a perfect average.
I want a dog.
I want a leather jacket.
I want a happy commotion.
I want the bigger piece.
I want a nice part.
I want a simple plot.
I want her.

Hi Phish, thanks for dropping in, and for the compliments. Couldn't find the Luke Chueh pic though. This is a good poem, but you already know that.
On red walls, here's an image that came instantly to mind - (NOT vodaphone:-) The hospital where I interned in Australia had a gigantic anesthesia recovery room for the horses - all the walls, floor and roof were thickly padded and coloured a bright bright red. Ofcourse no human was allowed in the room after an operated horse was wheeled in, till at least six hours post awakening.
thanks a ton dolphin. (though this is not really a poem :) click on the image to see the picture on Luke's site. some pretty awesome work.
I adore the way you write, the way you draw and the pictures you take...you are beautiful in your blogs!!! :)
You want a simple plot?
I don't think so:)
Julia's are beautiful but
Madelyn's are endlessly curious.
(you live longer just like photographers and musicians - stimulates a certain
part of the brain)
LOL
Have a delightful day - or at
least an excellent chai.
unless you want to see Peru alone, let me know when. i'm game.
pooja - thanks for the lovely words. i endeavour to give satisfaction.
madelyn - believe you me, a simple plot would be welcome right now. i understand about madelyn's being curious. am experiencing one. the tea was excellent. first flush darjeeling.
gaiza- will do. need someone to take photographs and write.
Why does everything you want boil down to a three letter common noun? Or is it an all-encompassing representation of something else?
well... i could introduce you to a julia.
charade - pertinent questions. i dont have the answers. i am just writing out the words in my head.
meghna - ah. finally u are of some use to me.
Don't you wish..someone just said 'i want you'. just that.
nothing more...nothing less.
no complications and everything else follows like clockwork...
scribbleamus - in an ideal world, maybe. or in my head :)
so smile at me :) and peru - me too. please?
People say generalizations are dangerous but I believe I love everything you write :)
Julia is a character from a story I'm writing. Believe me, you don't want to know HER. She's weird!
i was smiling all through the poem..sweet!!!
