ADVENTURES OF MY PEN





Life Like A Drain


Life as you call it, drain it is
Bright as u wish to see it, dark it is.

Sinking, sinking and sinking down
Perpetual it is, with no hope around.


It drills and drains me all the time
Don’t know why it haunts me all the time.


Had started with hope of something beautiful will happen
But dooming it is, down the line with full of mayhem.

In center I am, of a dense maelstrom
With no sight of light in the dark storm.

Fighting I was till now, all my way since inception
But now the nerves are giving up, cursing the very baptization.

All seem to be hunters except me, shooting arrows with such proficiency

Some are my own people and others any ways are always in urgency.

Pain of the arrows is eating me, tearing apart my flesh
Don’t talk of soul, so bored she is, thinking to start everything afresh.

She thinks of leaving me and my residual flesh stands up to give the way
Sometimes I do ponder, why me, why me only am not having any say.

Am I at fault or this damn world is not fit for me
Am I at fault or this damn world is not fit for me
Not able to resolve this only riddle…help me..help me...

  2. Life as you call it, drain it is

    Sometimes in the passion of love, hatred and anguish ,people forget to use their brain and shatter themselves and others as grains ;-)
    ....

    Nice writeup sheetal .. I can feel the agony of separation from your love in the poem ;-) ;-) ;-). In life you either need inspiration or desperation and seems like you have amalgamated the both in his poem. Awesome dude ..
