Life Sans Love - A Poem

The following poem was penned by me on March 1, 2007 when I was feeling very lonely and loveless.

LIFE SANS LOVE

Life is so lonely, loveless & so dry

Can’t complain & even cry

Doesn’t matter whom I love & admire

For whom my heart beats & is on fire

But cede to divine desire.

My desire, my wish

Has no meaning, no weight

Can’t even dream of that perfect bliss

With my love, my cherished mate

For God’s will is my only fate.

Life is fruitless and futile,

Crawling like a big reptile,

Compassion and pity is all

I get in life, which I call

Is nothing but big beggar’s bowl.

Wealth, woman, wine and not even fame,

Just to behold Love’s lovely smile

With dimples adorning - all the while

If not she, then just her name

On my desert lips - be my only aim.

Even a wish to die is not simply mine

In the eyes of Lord it’s not simply fine

No choice left but to drag the life

Through the sharp edge of the cruel knife.

Strangulated Feeling

I composed the following poem on March 25, 2007. It goes like:

Strangulated Feeling

A secret feeling I can’t express,

Without expressing I can’t repress

To express it is really hard

While repressing it- I’ve become a bard.

 

Wanna express my love to her all the time

But it’s so hard to express even a single time.

Don’t know the way to vent my love

The only hope is God above.

 

There is no medium, no outlet

To call my love for a simple date,

Can’t say my love to my love,

Though she is gentle like a dove.

 

Social bounds- so hard to break

So many barriers- tough nut to crack

Circumstances- never went my way

Could see the hope just fading away

 

All because I have no right

For I’m disable, I have no might.
