"Born to fight"

Saturday 4 August 2007


Those eyes! Once looked up at me for hope, for the fruition of their dreams… And now, same old eyes… but helpless eyes! Staring at me (sympathetically)… watching the hollowness of my soul…


Those eyes! Sullen eyes!
Watching “the soul with the suit of hauteur”
Returned from the abattoir of dignity…
The one who is his own saboteur.

Me still brooding over my gone moments… still holding on the clutches of affliction! Gradually touching down the depths of darkness… fear started creeping up. Was I dying? Yes, I was… and all I could see, the blackness around me.

Fretting over the dead past…
Lost in the serifs of its love dossier.
Slipping into an abysmal chasm,
Screaming for help, but no one to hear.

Couldn’t even behold the trace of my conscience. Lost my true inner self… but I wanted to break free (wishful thinking). On the contrary! I was giving up… cessioning to the obscurity.

Striving for his individuality,
Annoyed with the flair of confutation.
Wanted to breach the strings of melancholy…
Wanted to leave the times behind, sated with humiliation.

And there comes ‘The Courage’ (my savior)… came closer… held my hand… to leave me for never!

There comes ‘The Bravura’
To hold him on the pathways of life.
Going to fight for his survival till the end,
Being his strength, in the spells of strife.




[If not for thyself… think of all the people who love you… let them show thee how beautiful this life is… so that one fine day, you’d be there to enlighten others who have surrendered to this darkness… Fight for those helpless souls… and make them realize how beautiful this life is!!...]

Honey, I repeat.

You are the right girl in the wrong place. You are!! Where from do you manage to spruce up such 'incomprehensible' stuff? If I said you are more of an enigma - I will not be wrong. It takes an effort to understand your writing and thank God for small mercies that I do pride myself in a little knowledge of the the Angrezi language. Keep up the good work.

Remember, an Indian has not won the Pulitzer prize - yet - and even if one has, it has been quite a while.

Cheers and all the best. Love.

Col. Sunil : Sir, as always you think too high of me... Well I never took poetry seriously and it's more of a stress buster to me.. and let's keep it to that only...
Anyways I really appreciate that you show so much of faith in me... Cheers!!

Anonymous : Thanx for your kind words!!... I do have a collection of my write ups.... and as far as the joyous poetry goes, i will surely try my hands on that...

I enjoy the depth of the experience of reading it, and the journey to personal "salvation".

Take care.
