Tribute to Khalil Gibran

Life snails through swamps of experiences

Without any control over the outcomes

Love swings in the air of suspicion, asking

Is there anyone who can feel this feeling?

Like there is nothing else vital for surviving

A scary patch of horrible misunderstanding

Trees stand tall spreading winds of new hope

Without any expectation of getting appreciation

Blossoms of roses know, it might end up in hairs

Or in the long stinky colorless dustbins of heartless

Fruit of romance is not meant for all the true lovers  

This poem is derived from the famous quote of Kahlil Gibran, “Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.”  Khalil Gibran is considered to be the third most widely read poet in history, behind Shakespeare and Lao-Tzu. I am late, but  wrote this to participate in carry on tuesday .

Journey

Aim

For your

Glorious run

In the relation race

Sharing all your love and support

As this life is short to travel across this whole earth

Make all your journeys together romantic and memorable, as you can’t predict future

This is my first Fibonacci poem. Fibonacci poetry is based on the Fibonacci number sequence. Sequences of syllables in Fibonacci poems are like this, 1 + 0 = 1, 1 + 1 = 2, 2 + 1 = 3, 3 + 2 = 5, 5 + 3 = 8, 8 + 5 = 13, 13 + 8 = 21 etc.

This is my experimental double acrostic poem. A double acrostic consists of clues for a sequence of words (the cross-lights) to be written in a list, plus two clues to the words spelled out by the first and last letters of the cross-lights (the uprights).

I wish

I feel I am so lonely

Though I am in a crowd

All my cheers are fake

Just that I m trying

To be seen as happy

I wish I could fly

To a lonely place

To shed all my tears

I feel I could not write

That I need to earn

What a pity

I messed another chance

I missed another deadline

I messed the trust of one

I m helpless

I wanted to do

But words are stuck somewhere

Mind is wandering around

All my efforts to concentrate

Went in vain

Yet again my promise

Went unfulfilled…

A mockery of trust

I wish I wrote that

At least could have seen a smile

I am feeling so lonely

I wish somebody is there

Beside me to talk with

To open the heart

To rise up from pain

I wish somebody could see my dream

And could say its up there

To be achieved

I wish somebody could feel my love

And could love me as well

I m feeling so lonely now

I wish somebody could cheer me up

Now

Cos I am feeling lost

I wish rains to splash today

To soak up my heart

Cos I love being drenched

It can hide my tears

I wish somebody could wipe my tears

With a smile of a lifetime

With words of affection

With urge of sensibility

That could lift me to my fold

I do not know why I am so lonely now

I wish I could feel why it is so !

After the death of my dad, i went through a phase of struggle. I wrote this poem during that period.

Gutters

Pathetic roads here
Filled with gutters 
and it's raining 
Yet,no-one
Cares!
