I guess this is my first successful try to write something with a positive ending. Though this poem is not good. Just some mumblings and jumblings! Closing my eyes with a hope of tomorrow Thinking not of the dark pitch of sorrow. Happy once but sad yet again On went the cycle and on went the pain. Sadness deep inside but the reason unknown Emptiness throughout yet the heart not torn! Accompanied by all but feeling all alone Liked by everyone yet loved by none! Trying to discover the dream of ecstasy, A tinge of hope, an unknown fantasy. The heart yearned and the eyes searched forever Wondering what it might discover. Believing something was destined to be, Confident to find the future ultimately! Not caring was 'was' or what 'exists', Mind all set on what will persist! All life gone away as an unfulfilled dream, Yet not realizing what a waste it had been. Always emphasized on what 'would be' Life spent away as a voyage to destiny. Never realizing the beautiful things, Never saw the flower bloom or heard the bird sing. Never felt the love in his eyes for me, Nor knew the hurt of being dismissed. Life always was what I thought it to be, A burden on the back or a world full of glee. But on a search for my tomorrow, I had rejected the joy and embraced all the sorrow. The sadness, the pitch, the heartfelt pain Was nothing but the happiness I had slain. And today when I lay in my loneliness, I look back and see all I have is regrets! But is this all my life is worth? Either live in the fantasy or count my loss? Then I look around and see a charming butterfly, And oh! Is that a rainbow I see in the sky? Is it love in your eyes that I see? And are you smiling solely for me? And this warmth that I feel deep in my heart, Was that what I was ignoring from the start? When the blindfold from my eye is taken away, And as I learn to live in my today, Everything is life seems so nice and perfect! Can?t believe this part of life was so neglected.
