Poetry About Life.

Walking tamely on a full circle

Following own withering footstep

Waiting perpetually for the miracle

Looking for a thankful escape.

Burdened by own grief and sorrow

Crowded days and lonely nights

Desperation for happiness to borrow

Wounded sternly by the inner fights.

Numb of carrying a dead soul

Virtue wins in a different story

Heading towards a lifeless goal

Filling heart with ageless worry.

Lost the meaning of right and wrong

Become a machine in this mechanical age

Forgot the root from where I belong

Living blindfolded in a dubious cage.

    You look too young to be so serious but I thought you put a great deal of thoughtful effort into poem. it was good. Kitty

    I just read the poem again. Is that coming from your heart? I know a lot of poets get morose. You have a friend here…Kitty

    full of vagueness and ambiguities…and grammatical errors, no offense but this is one of the worst poems I’ve ever read…

  • J. Laine on Aug 19, 2009

    I really enjoyed reading this.

    I don’t agree it’s the worst I’ve ever read but it’s one of the saddest. I hope you will go and do something nice for someone quick. It’s the best medicine to cheer yourself up.

    Okay… no offense but I really doubt your existence. First show me your face, give me some identity , I will reply back to you then. Vagueness or grammatical errors or your inability to understand a poetry will be clarified and you’ll be at ease. Do you write poetry too? If so let me come to you! ;)

    Appreciate your comment. But please not my poems does not necessarily reflect my life only. Better if we see things in a broader way.

    You captured a very dark mood in this piece, Sourav – well done. Pity that some commentators like ‘amadeo’ don’t appreciate good writing, when it’s ‘write’ under their nose !! Keep goiing, my friend – there’s much more to come from you !!

    this is so sad, If this is about you, I hope you find your way soon.

    changed my profile photo to golden projectile. You seem so sad. Join me in astral space sometime and we will create a song. Kitty In the radiance of a thousand suns(14th century Hindu poem)
