Here I go

Here I go

Another one...written after my high school

Friends!
Don't go away leaving me alone today
To face the hostile world on my own
Have you forgotten those days
I laughed and cried with you
Sharing your joys, laughter and pain
I've given every bit of my self in your service
I have sacrificed my today for your tomorrows
But when its my turn to cry
Your turn your heads as if I am a strager
Is this the way of the world?
And am I destined to doom
Only because I cared for you?

Here I go

Poetry I wrote several years back

I was in a fit of brown study
But my reverie was shattered
Her eyes - the Achille's spear
Pierced my heart, rather than heal my wounds
When I first met her
I though I found my clue to happiness
I thanked Providence
But my joys were ephemeral
She left me waiting here in the dark
Finding her own dream man
Killing the spirit that I
cherished within me
I sacrificed my self for her happiness
And she payed me with silent rebuke
She's taken away the dreams I had
And today I am left with nothing
But silent tear drops which
enhances my thirst for her love.

Life's twists and turns

I was born in a dusty mining town in Dhanbad, which then used to be in the infamous state of Bihar. Of course now it is a part of Jharkhand. As a child I had great dreams of making it big. But as luck would have it, I ended up studying mining and was relegated by fate to work in the same place I was born. Those three years that I worked in a coal mine, my dreams seemed distant and impossible. However, the subsequent ten years proved things otherwise. I was forced by circumstances to sever my last connection with the town I was born, and after hurtling across Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore and Mumbai, I have finally reached Delhi. Life seems to have come full circle.
