another year another chance
another life another dance
another destiny another hope
another dream another rope

inevitable
another end awaits
carrying with it
hopeful beginnings
and old socks
quatrain # 4
such strong belief
mind so delirious
must be a relief
being oblivious
my successful mistakes
a dread spread throughout
for a decision can change life
regret will be the only friend
and the wound will be rife
but isn’t it better if it’s me
who is responsible for his own
mistakes that are made on the way
instead of blaming people unknown
so let me face my failure
for success is elusive but nigh
give up myself for a shortcut
my god you must be high
no restrain
the temptation and the allure
of all those bright colors
waiting to be consumed
and yet i stand resolutely
shaking
trying to keep those hands in
the very pocket with a wallet
asking to be spent
how long before i give in and
let the sweets make me fat
miserable bully
a laughing stock for everyone
that’s all i am anymore
made a fool again, and then some
disheartened to the core
what was it that i did to you
was it really my folly
or was it a ploy to humiliate me
for my tears made you jolly
are you happy with my misery now
did it bring you joy
or are you another misery yourself
and this happiness, just a ploy
quatrain # 3
living in a skin not of my own
watching another body, mimicking
a life, that could’ve been mine
if not for the coin toss
leftover lectures
to listen to everyone
with no thoughts
to your thoughts
rambling away their lives
just so you can put on
a face of resemblance
semblance to the ideas
that otherwise are thrown
away, not around
to indulge insanity
momentarily and forgetting
to set a clock against
pain and suffering
from incoherence stretched
for eternity and beyond
wishing all the while
to have the strength
to say – shut up
blaming faults
what has become of life
if not a caricature
living the same day, everyday
and still can’t curse nature
for the fault is but my own
and the mistakes, all mine
and yet i pine to blame else
even cursing the powers divine
how do i get out of this maze
my patience has run out
am i being played with
or is it wolf i shout
