Thorn

I lay there, years before.
Even years later, hurt and hurting!
Never knowing what is love
What is kindness!

There came a damsel one day,
So beautiful, prancing;
Unknown to me and her!
She stepped upon me.

Never realized, then
How much I hurt her
How much I pained her!
I was blinded by her tenderness.

She plucked me out,
It was a caress so soft!
Her touching me, then
I felt it was love.

Never realizing that
I was merely a thorn!
Only to be thrown away;
Capable only of hurt!

I lay there, years after;
Hurt and hurting!
Never forgetting,
I am merely a Thorn!

In this poem, a lover reminisces about his lost love!

He never realized that in their relationship, whatever he did only pained and hurt his loved one.

He tried to hold on to her tight when she wanted to leave; never realising she was never his.

Years later, after his loss, he realizes that he was nothing more than a thorn.
He, now wishes to apologize for the hurt and pain inflicted; but he, as the thorn says,
is merely a thorn,
To be thrown away;

Capable only of hurt!

I know I will

The last of the poems for now.
For a change I have tried to be positive in this poem. These are the points I truly practice/believe in (may be except the smile stanza, I believe in it, but do not practice much). This is what my parents have taught me from their life. This is what inspires me to move upwards.

 
I know I will

Each time I fell,
It didn’t pain me,
I knew I would fall again.
But, above all
I knew I would stand up again.


Each time I lost,
It didn’t break me,
I knew I would fail again.
But, above all
I knew I would try again.


Each time I won,
It didn’t complete me,
I knew I would win again.
But, above all
I knew I had to keep winning.


Each time I loved,
It didn’t empty me,
I knew I would love again.
But, above all
I knew I would always be true.


Each time I trusted,
It didn’t frighten me,
I knew I would trust again.
But, above all
I knew I would never break the trust.


Each time I bowed,
It didn’t shame me,
I knew I would bow again,
But, above all
I knew there are people greater than me.


Each time I smiled,
It didn’t tire me,
I knew I would smile again.
But, above all
I knew smile is infectious.


Each time I cried,
It didn’t sadden me,
I knew I would cry again.
But, above all
I knew I would wipe my tears and smile again!
