In search of fire .....


Seemed to look up at me, questioning, eyes lost in a mire
There’re so many, then why did you choose me, you liar!

I believed your heart your words then so pure
But I can’t trust them to be yours any more

Don’t think you can possess me for you’re left with no desire
You now belong to the crowd who can only look and admire

Hoped that someday you’ll return to me or at least you
Wished for long, that you forget everything to start new

Gosh! can’t believe you’re the same, acting so meek
But now it’s getting late and you’re making me weak

Cry if you feel like, but that won’t get you me, Sire!
The one thing you need, if you care still, is the fire!
.
.
.
For then, no goal remains huge and no aim too high
You’ve won half the battle just when you say aye!!


For those struggling to make something out of it ... the 'I' in the poem is the 'Goal' of the person talking to him and the 'YOU' is the person.

Rebellion this time !!! huh !!! ;)

Aakash said...

:) shift from the trend!
But its a zero sum game ma'm. Seasonality feeds upon itself and the trend line is the 0.


PS: Don't even try to ask me wht tht means...

Roh.... said...

off all the poems you have written, this one seems to have amazing flow..

waise just a suggestion, try the same theme but without any mechanics and rhyming sentences.. This is good but then that would just simply ROCK !!

Aditi Only said...

hmm ... yeah sure ... would try it :)

thanks..

Shishir said...

Where to begin.... first word that comes to mind contradictory ..but must say its an interesting read really interesting ....in fact i went through it few times and really loved it ....amazingly creative and very different :-)))

Sameer Lalwani said...

Nice piece of writing there. Especially the line, "The one thing you need, if you care still, is the fire!" - takes the cake for me..It is one of those gems that deserve to be on a poster that adorns your wall..Lovely!
