The moon shall hide its visage,
The leaves will rustle their goodbyes,
And the stars will hold back their rays.
One last look, one last gaze,
One last tear …..
This gush of emotions
Is leaving me fazed.
The thought of a new life beckons me,
But what I am leaving behind
holds me strong.
My reasoning power fails me,
It tells me I am wrong.
I cant leave things so precious,
so dear to my soul.
I cant leave behind a part of myself
as I move ahead, hunting for more.
But decisions are taken.
Plans are made.
I can do nothing but stick to them,
resolving, to never-ever let the memories fade.
As my friends bid me adieu
with teary eyes…..
my family hugs me one last time,
an emptiness creeps into my being,
I feel devoid of life.
I can never return back
the humungous amount of love ive got,
can never find people like these again.
But the little that I can do
Is to make a promise….
To be there for them
Whenever they need me;
in both happiness and pain.

Hi... I have been reading many poetic blogs lately. I hope you wont mind my comments about your creations as I have just smattering and m not a pro.
Reading your poems made me introspect and feel sorry about the cycle of life. Your poems project deep sense of solitude and loneliness. It seems to me that you are trying hard to contrive this image but if you are not, you articulate your feelings to the best. (Please bear with me if you are not....i say all this with deep humility)
P.S : As I will be leaving college soon, these poems specially touched my heart.
Keep writing
cheers!!
@ anony- hey! thankz for leaving a comment. firstly, i wud like to clarify that i have not been trying to "contrive any image". i feel that whatever one writes, has to come from the heart else it will never be able to touch the reader's heart. moreover, i donot blog to showcase my skills in poetry writing or the likes of it. for me, blogging is just a vent to release my pent up feelings. you will not find even a single post in my entire blog which i have written just for the heck of it. iam slightly amazed at the fact that you actually analyzed my work so minutely. i wish u had commented non-anonymously though.
hey.. i ws jus checkin ur previous posts... n look... i ended up here.
btw... u seem SO So SENTI..
as if ur gettin "married" or something.(no offence :) ) but had i read dis poem smtym back, even i wud b senti-senti.

@ debasish- hey!! i never thot of DAT! well... but obviously, u know why i wrote this peom :P yeah,... i was very senti dat day. it was weird. my mom, my best friends....my frnd called me up in the morning and well she was getting all senti, and i was trying to keep up a brave front throughout coz i cudnt let myslf fall weak. it was a very big decision coz iam the first one in my family to study in a hostel.(splly my mom! she wudnt have sent me had i wept even a lil bit in front of her:P)Since i had nobody left to tell all this, so i decided to pen down my thots :P
