The use of the Pentagram, a five-pointed star in the modern day world is similar to the use of the cross by the Christians and Star of David by Jews. Whereas Christians use the pentagram to describe the five wounds of Jesus, or maybe the five senses or five joys of Mary, in European occultism, it is regarded as a magical symbol. In Wu Xing, it is believed the five sides are similar to the five basic elements of existence,which are: Fire (火 huǒ), Earth (土 tǔ), Metal (金 jīn), Water (水 shuǐ), and Wood (木 mù).

Incongruous


Remembered.
The ex-love.
The first kiss.
The insane night.
The knock on the door.

Neglected.
The kick on the floor.
The futile fight.
The unspoken bliss.
The imprisoned dove.

'Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose. '
Forget when it ain't worth remembering!

memories is a way of never getting over anything at all good or bad.

Kunal said...

Rhyming in interesting order...The first line of the first verse with the last line of the 2nd Verse.. :)

Even if you are neglecting something...doesn't it mean that you remember them too? :)

Sorry...if it sounds confusing.

Rahul said...

Cяystal said...

@ Tariq,
I love you bey. Thanks :D

@ Red,
Small? Heh. Thanks re.

@ Kunal,
Yea .. wanted to try a different order of rhyming from the usual abab or something!
and neglecting something is not paying adequate attention to something which requires it, no? That's what I meant. I kinda agree with your point too though.

@ Raj,
Ask the one whose been hit as to how much it hurts. Ask the one whose lost his/her lover as to how much the void sucks. And you know what, wounds keep coming back to you. To put them at the back of your mind is NOT as easy as it seems. Yes, we should leave them to heal with time, but remember, times heals slowly, gradually, and until you've been healed fully, the pain only grows. Rarely reduces.

Cяystal said...

@ Philo,
I guess I like putting it short. Less effort goes into typing. :P
Thanks re.

@ Suvaiba,
Meow matt bolo bey. Mere blog par nai. Me hates hates cats. You know na? :O
