Reflection
in the mirror
Depicts
what my life is-
Looking
feeble and pale
Unlike
a fable and a fairy tale;
Tied
up with complex relationship
With
him not likely to worship,
Life
becomes a compromise
When
no word of promise.
With
all my strain,
I left
alone with agony and pain-
With
the flavor of life
All
sour and bitter.
Going
gets tough all day
I try
to shove them away;
But my
loneliness is killing
Let me pour down my feeling.
I wish
I have a rewind button,
Coz I
don’t want to dwell
In a
prisoner’s cell.
There
was a time when I was a bird,
Stretched
with mighty wings
With
no attached strings;
Ready
to fly away from pain
No
matter if it rains…
High
away with a cry
Far in
to the beautiful sky;
Now my
life is wrath and dry
Where
am I going to fly?
With
no more water
In my eyes to splatter-
Let me
kick off my worries
It’s no time for bedtime stories.
Life
is a challenge,
Full
of mélange
More
things to learn
Further
a lot to move on.
Living
ends at a point,
Death
is final but
Life
is full of possibilities-
Let me
make use of it.
A
lifetime to give
So
please let me live.
Waking
up from my dream,
Hoping with a gleam...
But there is such a little thing,
Hoping with a gleam...
But there is such a little thing,
I am
the bird without wings -
Cease to
look melancholy,
Life
is full of these ironies.
Awesomely written! Beautiful poetry!
ReplyDeleteAn appreciation from a poet herself. Thanks so much, Valli. I am glad you dropped by :)
DeleteHello Rat. M bacck to haunt you again. This poem is good but not good enough for you. You have done better. I was looking for something more to happen :)
ReplyDeletePS- From where did u get that pic above? I'm very bad with pictures and I don't know how come you guys get all these excellent images.
Please tell na.
*looks at you with puppy eyes*
Hi Rats. Thanks for your valuable comment. I just started tasting the flavor of writing. I will try to improve my standards. Well, the pictures I use here in my blog are mostly from Google, unless otherwise it is mentioned. :)
DeleteOh no.I don't mean to say that it's of low standard. Actually, on 2nd thoughts, it's quite good and something which I could never achieve till now. I just said that I was expecting some story (you know like some shocking revelation towards the end). But that's just me. Too much of thrillers & horrors can do that to a person. :))
DeletePS- There's so much to learn from you. For the time being, can you tell me the meaning & usage of this word 'melange' that you have used.I'm not in the mood to check it on the dictionary right now (the lazy me, yes I can be like that).
Hmm.. I cant think of a contradict ending, as the title says it all. Moreover I am only 2 poems old. Even I have to wait n see how am I going to improve with my newly found hobby, writing. :)
DeleteBtw, Mélange means 'A motley assortment of different things'.
Oh got it...thanks much....
DeleteAnd don't worry, you don't like a 2-poem oldie... Besides, i have seen that in the writing world, your first or second post may be your best...experience doesn't necessarily bring out the best...
Hi Meera( A rat- as you like to be addressed:) ),
ReplyDeleteThis is for the first time I'm reading your poem and it is simply awesome.. And yes you are definitely a poetic person.. Don't underestimate this gift of poetry writing... beautiful depiction of inner reflection by using appropriate words..
