There is something about this moment
That has made ur picture hazy
Something set deep in my heart
Something that makes it heavy...
I asked what beyond numbness
What beyond pain
Wat beyond white satin
What beyond stains...
He laughed – “write abt interesting things
Even if your day was mundane
Write about happiness
Or You are writing in vain?"
No I cant , I cant write about a happy job
An abundant life
No I cant write about a new flat
A trophy wife...
"Oh !! u poor , u poor writer
entangled in ur masochist emotions
u can just write about broken hearts
silent tears and love potion"
No wait don’t judge me so soon
I write for what I can’t express
Loneliness became my poetic affair
And silence accepted to be my mistress
Been trapped and cheated and starved to life
Reality was too hard to suppress
I have lost and failed and fallen and choked
The list my dear is endless..!
good yaar, its beautiful!

ReplyDeleteThanx for the read Claudia ..you know we write only when we feel something so strongly but fail to express
ReplyDeleteOh..this is such a beautiful read...
ReplyDeleteI suppose writing is all about expressing oneself.. and when that's the real reason, then it doesn't really matter WHAT you write about, as long as you are just expressing yourself...
And nothing should change that..
I hear ya, my friend...
Your poem just spoke to me... really lovely!
@ kavita.. thnx for the read...I agree with you , its all about expression .no matter what are you expressing.. it should be pure..
