Trying to diffuse some negativities in here.
Wailings of my soul
“I’ll walk alone,” u once said; still u asked for my company.
U needed no hands to lead u; still u asked for helping hands.
Was myself slinking, far-far across the parched desert,
U asked for comely monsoons.
I used to trail my eyes to the lanes u enter,
Resting till the dusk, u asked for the dawn.
U asked on, I gave on;
U also were like others; but the sole thing,
After the lights went out,
U asked for the deep dark nights
“I’ll walk alone,” u once said; still u asked for my company.
U needed no hands to lead u; still u asked for helping hands.
Was myself slinking, far-far across the parched desert,
U asked for comely monsoons.
I used to trail my eyes to the lanes u enter,
Resting till the dusk, u asked for the dawn.
U asked on, I gave on;
U also were like others; but the sole thing,
After the lights went out,
U asked for the deep dark nights
Afraid of shadow
I was running away from myself,
Trying helplessly to avoid the real picture
Walking supposedly all alone,
With some hazy destinations ahead
Then I found out, following me everywhere,
Is my own shadow, that I am afraid of
My destiny, so warped and whimsical,
Disbelief in my solitude,
Ended up asking for your help and company
You were there, yourself slinking,
Far across the parched desert
Myself, here, held a no better position either,
But dared to ask you for cool, comely monsoons……
Chasing one’s own lusts on separate, different lanes,
I acted up like others, in a lot many ways,
But only had a mask over that ever steady face
I then realized life is not always as predictable,
The bitter truth to us, ever been alive
But before that I could reconfigure myself,
To my dismay, or is it a real favor?
The lights went out and then I asked for deep dark nights
See! The wish got granted, even before made
Such an irony of time, or call it a play of my fate……
(The second poem is my answer to the first poem that somebody wrote to me.)
