Moment of glory

Finally, my wait is over

Since my first day as a poet, I dreamed of this moment

To have my words reaching the masses

To express my thoughts to all

I wrote my words with passion

With an urge to get noticed

Every time I entered my poetry into a contest

I wished someday it would be published

I still remember those days of despair

When my friends used to laugh at my poems

The more I became inspired, to write for a cause

Bringing out the unusual themes

To wipe out the tears and pain of someone

To bring smile and laughter in someone’s heart

To express my anguish against the grueling issues

To express solidarity with struggling souls

To shed my tears and pain also to share my happiness

Lazy words

My words have become mechanical,

A poet inside me is long gone!

A tint of romance is not there,

Even my imagination ceased to work!

Feeling a bit rusty and aloof,

With all friends gone.

Feeling of loneliness is looming,

Threatening to overpower my desire.

Even dreams don’t inspire me now,

Images of past and uncertain future,

Confusing a dare devil heart,

Whether to choose left or right,

or straight direction?

Still looking for a friend for ever,

But damn friends hurt the heart,

Leaving myself hating friendship,

Even a virtual love doesn’t seem

to work!

Leaving fuming heart in search of

Peace and inspiration.

Nevertheless, hope is the last resort,

In which one can take refuge!
