I know I will

Click here :: This video best explains what I mean in this poem!!

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!

I miss you

Here in the 3rd of the lot, I bring back the brood. Dark in nature, but so true in many cases.

Perfectly normal guys, start acting lost and completely disinterested all of a sudden. Friends, family do notice this change but are unable to pin point the cause and dismiss it as a part of their growing up. And the guy, remains so till he….who knows till when??


I miss you

It is a beautiful world
Thousands of colors,
Millions of smells,
A lot to know
A lot to do.

Yet, why do I feel so bad?
Thousands of stress,
Millions of worries,
Nothing I know,
Nothing I do.


It is a pleasant day
Bright sunlight,
Clear skies,
So much of hope
So much of energy!


Yet, why do I feel so down?
Dark room,
Cluttered desk,
So much of brood
So much of despair!


It is an enchanting night
Cool breeze,
Glittering stars,
So much of excitement
A lot to explore.


Yet, why do I feel so desperate?
Dried up tears,
Lonely bed,
So much of hurt
Nothing to loose.


It is indeed a beautiful world,
Days are pleasant,
Nights enchanting.
But with out you I feel
Bad, down and desperate.
I miss you,
You make my world, day and night!

The interview I never attended

Here is the 2nd poem, a little light hearted one; have tried to shift away from my usual melancholical style of poems.


The interview I never attended


I didn’t see the peel,
The banana peel.
I slipped and fell a mighty fall.
Interview, I had to attend
Now I am here in the general ward.


Doctor Doctor, I called out.
Out came a sister with a needle.
Pants were pulled down.
Bums exposed,
I waited for the dreaded prick.


Sister sister some one called,
Sister left me in a bother,
With out the prick
With out the pant,
I lay there in the general ward.


Dignity returned to me
So did a pain in the ass
When another sister
Gave me the pant
Gave me the prick.


Jinga lala Jinga lala
My heart sang
as doctor signed my discharge slip
aiyo amma aiyo amma
my heart yelled
When I saw the bill.


Tata bye bye, I said to the hospital
Caught a rickshaw back home
Only to realize suddenly
Like a monkey sitting on the terrace
It was I who threw the peel to the spot I fell!!
