Calmouflage

She paints her face to hide her face.

She talks non-stop to quieten her thoughts.

She drives her car to drive her thoughts.

She thinks it through to let it sink in through.

She writes it down to free her mind.

She sings aloud to drown out the silence.

She runs a mile to dash her dreams.

She dances all night to sit this one out.

These lines can very well be a SONG! No kidding! Nice!


#Fab Four..! WOW! There are so many songs I can just keep listening! Hey Jude being one of them. My bhajan. :D And there are SO many. Can't mention them all here, can I? Wait. I can. But, I'm lazy :P
Beatles rock, rock, ROCK. :D
And hey, HIGH FIVE!

#gemini,
Hi5 soul sis! :-)

#nan,

#Rohit,
The idea about the lines being a song is very cool! Would you care to strum your guitar to it? :-) And yeah, who'd have thought the Beatles' chants would become the bhajans of millions of Indians :-)

#the ego,
Welcome to my space and thank you very much :-)

"She runs a mile to dash her dreams"??? Running is FUN! Its a DREAM!!! Can't agree with you on this.

But a good one nevertheless!

Just Jane said...

Geez, this line was like a piece of art! I LOVED this whole thing. :D Why don't you make a melody too and sing this out loud, record it and then, put it here? :D

Just Jane said...

#TGWSTW,
Whoa...thanks pal :-) There used to be this dessert hangout called 'Painted Platters-Art You Can Eat'...needless to add..yummy sinful lipsmacking stuff..anyway, I digress. I'll get all corny here and say in response to your comment...'It's Art You Can Heart!' :-P As for recording and putting it here, donkeys aren't extinct yet, are they??

R said...

My guitar? Ahem. Only if I knew. Sheesh . :(((((

Just Jane said...

#TGIF,
Thanks, girl :-). Would've thought the line 'she drivers her car to drive her thoughts' might have struck a point home with you, considering your travails with Candy and now Basanti :P :D
