Attractive Distractions

Hmmm! An almost morbid view of life....

almost, but not completely.
in happiness there is sorrow and in sorrow there is joy
its how you look at it

"like a magician's left hand
life is but a distraction,"
Raghav, very thought provoking lines but if you don't mind my saying so, the rest of the poem leaves me holding my breath, waiting for more. Unfortunately, at least for me, it petered out creating a sense of something left incomplete.
Or is that your whole point about life.......? Good level of poetry, in any case.

it was written during a show, hence the referances to a magician a clown and a dancer, si its a very in the moment kind of a piece.
it didnt start with a purpose, it just came to me as i sat there and i scribbled it down in a rush.
it came and then left me just as suddenly, hence no fade out so to speak.

Thanks,that explains it and I have now figuratively stopped holding my breath!!
You have a very incisive way with words; please let us have more from you.
