Brutal are the nights
When you get in fights
Brutal are the days
When I get some space
Brutal is the moment
When you lament
Brutal is the time
When I’m fine
Brutal is my life
When you speculate rife
Brutal is my being
When I’m trusting
Brutal life no more
Euphoria at my core
The moment you I ditch
Bitch!
Helpless, feckless when you feel,
Omens bad when force you to kneel,
Purge all negativity then you must
Embrace the fate; don’t fright, just…
Freefalling from the sky, I
Plunge down to death. My
Racing heart to a halt, But
Thoughts go on. Uncut
Life before me regretful, Unjust
My deeds, shameful! Robust
Feelings of my betrayal echo, For
My evil gets everybody’s dekko. More
To lose and then some! Repent
Caused by what I’ve done. Taint
Misery for kin I brought. I am
Not the guy they thought. I am
Freefalling from the sky, I
Plunge down to death. My
Racing heart to a halt, But
Thoughts go on!
Everything to lose, nothing to gain
Whatever I do, it goes in vain
Arduous it’s getting to mask this pain
Afraid I might just go insane…
For days I work hard, for days I toil;
Even after dark I burn midnight oil,
In comes your reply and makes my blood boil;
It’s not good enough you say, it’s mud and soil…
All you say after I’ve served your kings,
Try a little harder or pack your things.
What more do you want from me earthlings;
You are asking me to fly after clipping my wings.
Shining sun with lightning doubts,
Hiding behind frightening clouds,
Endless I wait…
Wandered my thoughts far and near,
Anxious my soul for a glimpse of my dear,
She came in late…
Still stood the heaven; still stood the earth,
Oh! For those divine eyes that’s totally worth.
Charm that would turn even gloom to smile
Lame felt my heart; suddenly a meter was a mile.
Oracle within me yelled: Go ahead, proceed,
She even stood in anticipation, she surely did.
Earnest my approach, just diffident for a while;
Breeze through her hairs; Oh! My heart skipped a beat,
Utter a word? Even composure was a feat,
Truth be told…
I messed up!
Everyone is going somewhere, someplace;
I am stuck, tethered.
Every life is awesome, blaze;
I am stripped, unfeathered.
Long, drab faces of my sojourners;
And whispers of failure,
Quiet snickers of my mourners,
Silently I am to endure.
My existence has reached rock bottom,
They say I am distraught;
Dismayed for I am forgotten,
But I am fine, am I not…
About This Poem: I was actually blank during my physics paper and suddenly some words popped into my head… This is just a better presentation of all those scrambled thoughts… Here goes…
There are times
When weak gets strengthened;
There are times
When fools get mentioned,
There are times
When big guns fear;
There are times
When even cowards do dare…
There are times
When nothing goes wrong;
There are times
When everything does…
Then why do people
Make such fuss
It’s life after all
It’s boon and it’s curse…
There are times
When mind goes dumb;
There are times
When heart goes deaf,
You can’t hear
You can’t speak
Then suddenly you see
Life turns overleaf…
There are times
When thoughts can’t be expressed,
There are times
When souls are depressed,
There are times
When you burst with tears;
There are times
When feelings are suppressed.
Such is this life
Live it or leave it
But before your decision
Listen to your voice
Like every human being
You have a choice
Choose to LEAVE
And you will regret
Choose to LIVE
And you’ll experience…
At times…
Life is great!
I travel along the long road
I see my shadow following me…
Desperate, eager to overshadow me
I travel along the long road
Triumphant, joyous I feel. I won.
I change my path,
I travel along;
Now I see myself following my own shadow…
Desperate, eager I run down;
No avail!
My shadow-my own shadow, shadowed me over…
Triumphant, joyous she feels. She won!
The sun goes down
So does my shadow
Now I walk down all alone
Only to realize that
Victory and Failure; joy and sorrow;
Are inseparable!
I change my path…
I travel down the long road…
Triumphant, joyous! I feel I am born!
Was she looking at me or I thought so…
was she gazing at me or I thought so…
or…
was it that she knew that I was stealing glances of her…
when she was not looking!
every single time when our eyes met
we stared away!
was it because we both had feelings for each other
in our conscience…
or was it just another incidence
of co-incidence?
