The unbearable heaviness of being
My undisputed stature of an old school sentimentalist
sure used to get the laughter going round after round-
not anymore now that you are invisible behind what
appeared to be first just a smoke screen and turned
out to be the endless debris from a supernova and
we were the twin star constellation once upon a time
You were the northern star in the blood red sky
a new element in the periodic table of constant
recurrences that had come down to be known as life
you see upon contact you ceased and got replaced by
a shade-a recreation that I came up with within moments
that seemed to stretch ever more in the face of
my failings-I see the very core of my own undoing
we were like oil and water upon reanimation time and again
All the wailing-whining-this loathing-losing-loving
fragments of newly formed memories on collision course
with the solidified crust of the erstwhile magik we had
once at our finger tips-in the fallen eye lashes and space
in between our lips-trapped pearls within the oceans on
our faces-now weathered-scarred-shadows of an era bygone
we were the twin lighthouses in the dark once upon a time
I let you find me in downward spirals as I pealed you
layer after layer after layer-after I created them with
my stoic indulgence-you see-we created each other up in
the amphitheatre of our minds and then drifted towards
the changelings of innocence of each other forgetting
the brutal realism of our flawed existence and as for
the dog amiss in the setting-what of love-life?

..to the title-kundera prob my favorite writer, and your spelling of majik-I spell it magick-but either way it takes it more seriously. magic is so flimsy.
enjoy the cadence change, with oil and water into
"All the wailing-whining-this loathing-losing-loving" the break carries us through the breath into this whirling of introspection
"My undisputed stature of an old school sentimentalist
sure used to get the laughter going round after round" its all fun and games- until its neither fun or a game. I can certainly identify with this.
Lastly, shame on you for making me track this down, I thought I was already following you.

I happened to see the movie which was
a cinematic adaptation of the Kundera
masterpiece. I have not read any of his
works, but I have no doubt when you say
that he is your favourite author.
Magick is new for me. And yes I felt magic
was too powerless. Crowley changed my thoughts
regarding it.:) So I know what you mean.
I am glad for everything you had to say.
Ha ha!Now I am being tracked. It's a joy
to have you hear.
Looking forward,
Sumeet

o boy yessir Kundera is a real treat!, try to discover him..and as far as Crowley- huge influence, stuck up prick, very bright-and inspired to say the least... I love his entity- but have the damnest issue discussing him as I feel he is nearly 99.999percent misunderstood...happy reading!

I simply read a few passages from Kundera's
masterpiece and overwhelmed is an understatement.
Next on my list. I have started reading recently
and have a long list. I totally agree about
Crowley and would love to talk about him.
Re-reading 'The Book of Law'.:)
