Trying ouT

Just checking if I can still write poetry :) An earnest attempt!


Following the tune of heart
We made a beautiful start
Time was running out of hand
Laughing, fighting, loving
A lifetime passed away
And here we are at distant land
As fortune had its way

Life plays a game with us
They call it hide and seek
When we have found a little happiness
We’re deceived by greed

Cause love is insatiable
It keeps asking for more
The overflowing abundance of affection
That once you had shown
Somewhere I wish I could store

I would open up that treasure
When you are not near
So many smiles lighting up my day
So many memories coming up my way
A lump in my throat, a silent tear

And though we stay miles apart
Somehow you have become my prayer’s part
And that is where you reside
Let the destiny decide
How long would you stay in this heart!


PS: This poem is a pure work of fiction; any resemblance to living or dead is purely coincidental. The gloomy and sentimental touch was inevitable, I somehow cannot write poetry without that.

Hey.

Its simple and beautiful.
You should write more poetry.

My favourite lines:
"I would open up that treasure
When you are not near
So many smiles lighting up my day
So many memories coming up my way
A lump in my throat, a silent tear"

The joy of nostalgia
