Solitude






When the heart aches in solitude,
No gates can stop the tears from gushing out.
Loneliness seeps into every cell of the body.
Happiness, simply seems to retard.


With no emotions left to feel,
no thoughts left to chase,
memories engaged in feud,
her heart ached in solitude…..


Her eyes searched in vain,
for something…..
or maybe someone…….
her head screamed out warnings.
Everything appeared so foreboding.


She wished she could listen to her heart
but there were more important things to be done.
Her life stood on a crossroad.
Too many things she ought to have done,
Even more number of things that she wanted to do.
But how was it possible,
When her heart ached in solitude????


It ached for a friend…..
someone she could open her heart out to.
People who knew her, didn’t know her at all.
Those who wanted to know her,
were never let close enough.
Enclosed within a self-created wall of aloofness,
Where all music was mute,
She lived a life of solitude…..

yes i needed to be the first to comment on this one.....
first of all this poem comes straight out of ur heart.....vry well done...vry vry exquisite poem...
but this poem makes me asks a lot of question to u n ur frnds...i m sure ur frnds vl b pretty intruiged after they read the poem...wat i want to ask here is..do u not follow ur heart ? if so then u shud nvr regret wat u havnt done n if u dont follow ur heart then i guess u shud regret evrythin tht follows...n ucant really lay it on ur frnds...thts y i always say take suggestions from ppl but decide on ur grounds...coz u knw wats best for u...to b truthful to myself u n tejal i vl say...i expected this kinda poem...bye talk to u later abt this.

@aayush- my only reply to ur comment is dat, u got everything bout the poem right but missed out on the "SHE". wat makes u think iam speaking bout myself???

KAMONASISH AAYUSH MAZUMDAR said...

hmm i thot it was a allegorical she....as in u r speaking for urself in form of she...newayz whosoevr it is...the moral remains same...so who is this ? (m quite intruiged i must say) esp to knw on wat terms n under wat circumstances u hav written this....care to tell me the underlying story its ok u can narrate it to me in terms of X Y Z theta emu ;) cos tan ostrich hen n dodo if u lik.....

Abhu said...

@aayush- no theta please!!!!! ;)
and well i dont think that wen u write a poem or any such thing, u actually think smthn while writing. its smthn dat u FEEL. and as far as i know, interpreting one's feeling is perhaps the most difficult task on this earth:P
i dunno why i wrote it....i just needed to write it...

Tejal said...

i jus wanna say... frens r alwaz ther.. u jus need to call out..(if they dint seem to notice sumthin amiss already) i really dunno wat to say.

Abhu said...

@tejal- calling out is not that easy, specially if the person u r calling out to, fails to understand u. (iam not meaning any one in particular wen i say this)
"people who knew her, didnt know her at all"......

KAMONASISH AAYUSH MAZUMDAR said...

well i hav to voice this opinion " IF I NEED TO SAY THINGS OUT LOUD TO A FRND...then WATS THE DIFFERENCE B/W MY FRND N A COMMONER ? I CAN EASILY SAY THINGS TO A LOT OF PPL AROUND ME"
a frnd is sum1 who ustands ur thot process who can ustand u who can read ur mind before ur mind speaks out in forms of words....thts wat frnds r for...evry1 doesnt say things out loud...n these kinda ppl hurt themselves a lot...(i include myslef in tht list n trust me its not worth it)...newayz i jus wanted to say a FRND IS SUM1 WHO KNWS THE ANSWERES AND NOT THE ONE WHO ASKS THE QUESTIONS...(btw m pretty sure thr is a story to this...:))

Abhu said...

@aayush- i cent percent agree with wat u have said. i guess iAM introvert bout my feelings. cant help it. iam this way. but there is no story behind it. its just a mere poem for God's sake.

Sigh. How typically Cappy. It's a challenge upon Saturn's children to overcome their tendency to think in loops and worry, and be cynical.

And yet again, remember! The Law of Attraction!!

Abhu said...

@sneha- see...dats the way iam. for me, thats the way thing work or maybe dont work. i can TRY to adapt to better ways, but i cant guarentee to become someone else. cant help it.
