A thousand wishes,
A million aspirations,
This stupid heart nets
hundreds of dreams every second.
A longing for what is not there,
A craving to set right
the lil things amiss;
a desire to complete
the “Perfect” Picture of life
is all that he wished.
He saw himself up there.
There was a satisfied smile on his face;
A smug expression which said ,” Did u see that?
All my hard work has paid off.
It has all been worth the risk”.
But no sooner did he look back
At the road he had chosen to take,
Than his heart filled with remorse
As he saw all that lay dead.
How could he have done this?
How did he stoop so low?
When did he become so selfish,
He really did not know.
With each step that he took
Towards the topmost rung
Of that “bloody” ladder,
He murdered every little sensitive
emotion that he had in him.
He tortured all those sweet lil fantasies
That threatened to retard his progress.
The child in him was lost forever,
his innocence was packed in a box
and stacked away.
All that was left
In those ruthless, self-centered eyes
Was HATRED……
Hatred for everything to do with life….
Hatred towards everyone
Who wanted to live life…
Watching the sun set along the horizon,
Feeling the cool breeze whip across the face,
Smelling the air just after it rained…..
Enjoying such sensitivities of life
Became nothing but a “time waste”
Now, standing on top,
He looked around,
yearning to share his happiness
with someone.
But all that greeted his forlorn eyes
Was barrenness, profound.
Nothing even remotely sensitivity
agreed to thrive in such an atrocious environment
nothing with even an iota of
happiness could gulp in
such poison.
It was too late to turn back now….
Too late to undo what had been
done and said.
He knelt and wept….
Wept his heart out,
But remained a loner,
LIVING – DEAD
A lil note from the blog owner- Life is too short. Don’t get so engrossed and obsessed to achieve material happiness, that u fail to enjoy the finer things in life. LIVE life, LOVE life, however good or bad it may be, because it is YOURS. Vying for things, cribbing bout stuff will make you lose on what you have today and today is never gonna come back. And keep smiling coz a smile is a curve that can straighten any problem :)
