A short Poem


Hi to all, this is a first in a series of short poems that I shall be writing over the course of the next few years. These are basically experiences, some real and some imaginary that I thought would be nice to pen down.


Do let me know in the comments section below what you think about these.

Enjoy!!

Footprints on the sand of time: A heartbreak

She sat there, wailing and shouting at him over her phone,
Why does he not care about her?
Poor girl, maybe she loved him more than he deserved
She had flown off to a far away land
She had given her all to him


And that day they talked, they talked and talked
The boy in vain tries to explain his problems
The boy tries his reasons, she listens to them.
It was never that he didn’t love her
He knew there couldn’t be anyone better.
It was his attitude to life that had created the gaps.
Perhaps she understood, perhaps she didn’t
And then a while later, silence took over, time stood still.
Slowly the boy starts breaking down,
All the memories with her haunts him like a nipping needle
A tear rolls down the boy’s cheek,
The girl sees it, she doesn’t bulge;
And more memories, ‘the dinner dates’, ‘the short trips’, ‘ her birthday’
‘Bike rides’,‘Football’, all of them flashes before his eyes.
He couldn’t believe he’ll be missing these.
Slowly memories take their toll on him
And slowly he melts into a harrowing, heart-rending sob.

She told me to go to sleep

She loved her, and so did he. It had been a while since they talked, They see each other; his throat aches, he doesn’t say a word, But how could he,    the things he was going through! ‘He doesn't care.’, she thinks. He was a person whom she couldn’t be happy with. Maybe she was right. She tells him to go to sleep. Suddenly, he felt like a person with a rope around his neck, just on the brink of suffocation. He tries staying strong, he tries not giving in ‘He doesn't care.’, she thinks. He was a person whom she couldn’t be happy with. Maybe she was right. She tells him to go to sleep. The suffocation wasn’t new, but the distance was, Piercing through him, weakening him,  every moment. He just wants to rest, but insomnia creeps in. ‘He doesn't care.’, she thinks. He was a person whom she couldn’t be happy with. Maybe she was right. She tells him to go to sleep.

Farewell

Do you hear the fleeting 'Time'?  Its chariot ceaselessly , giving rise to new impulses every moment? It gives rise to the first cry of a child     from a mother's womb As if a nascent star,     exploding into life     from the deepest of cosmic darkness. My Friend,     that same fleeting time, today grasps me in its tentacles,     and draws me upon itself, towards a journey undefined     far far further away from you . . .  As if, the light of dusk     today gradually melts into darkness; Having lost my identities along the trail     I fade away into the distance. My Friend,               .  .  . Farewell!
