Reason

Patience drying up
Hope waning down
Depression catching up
Reality bogs me down

Life always a step ahead
no matter how worthy victory seems
Its amazing how slippery the way is
One wrong foot and down crumbles the dream

Things still end on the same note
Its just a matter of time
Till we learn to give up
and Body answers the call divine

The achievements if any in life
are forgotten sooner than the changes in season
all that matters is survival of fittest
Learning to run till u lose the reason

We forget the magic and promise of enchantment
the glow and the distant sound of drums
The dreams lie unfulfilled and shattered
Survival is possible only till we violate the terms

When will the terms hold and the world be mine
When will dreams learn to live on
Light stops casting a shadow
And Darkness forget how to shine

Come Life, come back ;
I promise to love u for what you are
Hold my hand gently even as I tug
Esacpe the reason to escape;teach me to run that far !

  1. I couldn't dig deep at the meaning of the poem, may be because it flows very spontaneously making itself a smooth read, permeating an atmosphere of trance; Nevertheless I liked the following contrary description "Light stops casting a shadow; And Darkness forget how to shine"

  2. its spontaneous .. yes .. n in a way without any flow..the poem doesn't really move anyhwre.. every stanza is random .. but it just hints at boredom n ways to escape
