Topic: My Short Poem
Submitted by Joshclimbs on 28 Apr, 2010 06:26 AM GMT
Hi everyone!
Here is a poem I wrote years and years ago. It makes me think back
to a time when I was living alone in a cabin that was in the
mountains.
Primeval Call
Shadows dance
within the night.
Like a wolf
I call.
Dreams are passed
and take flight.
Withered, exhausted,
I fall.
Bye,
Josh

i ave a little brother
i know he is very clever.
when i do my duty
he is very naughty.
when i do my maths
he comes to me with snacks.
when i read science
he shouts little rhymes.
when i want to read
he runs to me with a need.
when i am in troub le
he runs to me with cheering bubble
at all times he disturb me.
yet it's a pleasure to me.
with all these he likes me more
AND i LOVE him more and more.

Tackling Thoughts
From nowhere you spring
Silent yet powerful
Always active running
How did you reach me?
Come, Oh Holy ones
Come make me holier
When nasty you become
I will shoo you away-
Favourable or not-the situations
Let only good stay with me
Lot of cleaning to be done
Inside and outside my house...
In your absence what's it
Is it the vast and the whole
Sparkling clean and awesome
The peace that sets in!

Changing Visions
In the glittering eyes of a child-
Twinkling stars and the moon
Flutttering wings of butterflies
Leaves dancing in the air
Whichever hands holds the child
Everything is so unique and special...
In the prejudiced eyes of an adult-
Everything that is beautiful
But beauty defined and confined
For each individual taste
Is good and nourishing
Till it is useful and enjoyed...
In the vision of the eyes
The same thing looks different
At different times-by the same person
By different persons-at the same time
Mistake lies in the sight
Or in the thing seen?

Sanity and Insanity
To an insane person
A sane looks insane-
To a sane person
An insane looks insane...
To a waker
A dreamer is insane-
To a dreamer
A waker is insane...
To an existent
Non-existence is insane-
To a non-existent
Existence itself is insane...
Who is sane?
Who is insane?
And,
What is sane?
What is insane?

Missing you .....
Missing your presence...
Missing your non-presence...
Missing your strength...
Missing your weakness..
Missing your laugh...
Missing your tears....
Missing your smile...
Missing your frown...
Missing your pranks....
Missing your bounteousness...
Missing your action...
Missing your inaction...
When You don't miss me
Miss you more than ever........

Flowing rivers
Streamlined you dont run
But streams you become-
Hurdles you dont disturb
Just slash and splash-
There you go!
Finding your own ways...
sorry-
Ways come finding you rather...
For the way you flow...
This i wrote after seeing the picture of The Great Falls in Radhika's Library. Thanks Radhu!
Aey this is a nice one da...

Life's journey
Is the distance between two people
Life's meaning
Is in the untold between two people
When the distance is covered
Life becomes fun
When the unsaid is read
Love becomes life
When metres become a mm
Life is in hot equator
When mm s become kms
Life is in cold poles
No meaning is needed
For the journey of life
When two becomes one
And there is none...
Wish to have one
Who reads between lines
Holds the string intact
Entwining with embraces
But alas! there's actually none
Who can share that much fun
Cause of clashing egos-
Fun goes down the drain...
Still-
The yearning heart will find
A way which may be away
But once awaken to the Truth
Love All becomes the way!
The power of love
Is it a spider's web?
Makes one fall-
But feels above all!
Complete is the journey
When luv is around
Basking in fallen luv
Life itself- a funny love!
Jamuns and Rasagullas
Love soaked we become
With the right sugar coat
Life is sure a treat!
how is my blabberings kavi? (Its a bit lengthy) I love the lines posted by u...
It is really good da..........But try to limit each poem to one thread of thought...........Just try it and see........There are about 3 poems in that one poem.... :-) But keep trying you will get a hang of it........the best thing about u writting poetry is that you have a vivid imagination and that is the most important requirement for poetry...
