Life is a rough draft.
We have right to make amends,
Or add new stories,
But never a right to read final script.
.....free verse...haiku....diamante...
Welcome to my blog. In my quiet hours I seek to touch the depth of myself and my surroundings. My thoughts that take form of poetry are just the scratches on the surface of life as it reveals to me. Wrapped in a delicate veil of symbolism and ambiguity these verses and expressions also fulfill my desire to share a bit of my self with others. I hope reading them would be as enjoyable for you as writing them has been for me.
Life is a rough draft.
We have right to make amends,
Or add new stories,
But never a right to read final script.
Heart still cries!
Time may be called the biggest healer
Yet grief doesn’t abide with time limits.
In a sudden downpour it lashes out,
Tears swell, and pain pervades
The each breath that I take.
Wandering in the valley of grief
Mind sets its dwelling time.
In the hours of solitude
Merciless it tortures the heart,
Like a cruel nightmare
Out from abyss circling the darkness!
A sweet dream like a ray of sunshine
Comes to rescue……
Memories of good times linger
A protective shield to hold on to.....
At the depth of my heart
Pain and pleasure move
side by side.
Tiny fishes floating under surface water!
Like a blossoming bud
Struck by a sudden ice storm
Is the story of joy-
Next to the story of sorrow
Being swept by fragrant spring breeze!
