This is the end of mine,
Too many people, too many thoughts,
Too many reasons to stay aloft...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the world I built, around me crumbled
And fall did I, amidst the rumble
And fall did I, amidst the rumble
There was no light above penetrating so deep
Grasping the finnale, heart missed a leap
Tumbling I rolled, path so dark
All my beliefs turning to farce
Fear written all over me
What was of mine, now to be
Lost, shivering was I in the chill
Till a shadow of warmt, my being did fill
Unsure, of everything around
Now had to face the truth, surround
No more was I, a bag of flesh and bone
Everything was mine, and yet nothing i own
Thoughts fleeting, no more was I tied
Everything set free, no reason to hide
A smile I recognise, A tear I see
Memories of yore, slowly they flee
I remember a touch, the embrace I blush
All of them beside, now they rush
Your eyes I see penetrating the lies
No more a shadow, your hands play the dice
Heard of you did I, in stories of yore
A visitor am I, now at your door
Coming closer to me, uncertainty you read
And in a swish, hand me a deed
All the rights and wrongs face me now
The greatest of all, you say is love
Stunned I stand, seeing it all
Can do nothing, at the wall
Mistakes made, though unaware
Loved too have I, my heart now bare
Looking into my eyes, you smile for me
Know you now, your an old friend I see
At life's crossroads often have we met
Things in motion , again you set
Whisper in my ear, a story new
It all comes back, a forgotten view
Everthing I see, all that was
Story does go on, without a pause
I have been here before as I shall be again
Sometimes leaving in peace, at times slain
Setting forth, this journey of mine
And when return, with you I dine
Might I forget, on a date morrow
Aware shall be, Time that I borrow
With a message depart, a field of daze
My old friend, we shall soon embrace
It's really good. Really like the way it starts and the general sadness of it all.. But I generally wish you don't try to make it rhyme all the time.. The feelings are so genuine and raw, I wish it to be not poem like but a story... But I so love the feel of this poem.. :)

Happened to stumble upon poems of yours.. Very touchy reminded me of someone very dear to me .. Had read somewhere that, there is always light at the end of the tunnel .. And every dark cloud has a silver lining .. Wish the joy of bright new sunshine make u forget the sadness oozing out through this rap.. Time is the best healer you shall find true love again ..you have very good language n expression .. Do keep writing
ReplyDeleteThank you very much :)
ReplyDeleteIt invokes so much pain while reading, i can only imagine what were you going through while writing it. I am a fan of your writing structure, your insistence on story telling rather than on rhymes creates a distinct image in the reader. Simple words can convey the most profound messages, you prove this every time.
