Walking along that familiar stretch
Times gone by, reflect in my mind
Smiles, whispers, moments shared
And then, regret, for being so blind
Blind for believing in fantasies
Naïve for trusting a lying snake
Crazy enough to fall in love
Foolish to put myself at stake
Locked myself in an illusion
Lived a façade for so long
With your honeyed words and false charm
Couldn’t place right from wrong
Then the bubble burst suddenly
And reality stepped in
But it was already too late
You’d already sunk your teeth in
You clawed at my trust, ripped my heart out
Hacked away my love, and slaughtered my soul
I whimpered, as life ebbed away
Betrayed, I let death take its toll
Days, months, years passed
The pain is still etched within
Still trying to let go of the past
Still trying, to live again...

...oh don't be so bare...why need to be bare?
oak trees haunt...but rains will shudder.
void is before n' void is after..
the storm shall rise n' pass you dear.
nature don't discriminate
the wind shall caress
both the flowers n' the ashes
the windmill moves
the shepherds still wander..
so why get lost in the mystic sea?
i used to roam in a lonely island..
seekin for the truth n' for the freedom.
the stream i used to sit across
showed me calmness as well as the reflection of the clouds.
no matter how hard the ice remains
finally it melts n' flows across.
i say those tears are the proof..that the snow is gettin off
look above you...there is sunshine all around.
p.s. cheer up lady!...you know i don't like when i see you in this kind of mood...or else who will cheer me up...i know i'm bein selfish...but that's how i'm..no point in hidin my real self...now lemme see your smile dumbo!! did you hear that?? **he shouts at her**

Believe me! It's not that difficult, that you try so hard to do it.
Pople, people! This is only a poem, that has absolutely nothing to do with me or my life... its all fiction!!
@chipmunk: Nope ur wrong, its nothing personal! Btw, way to go on ur new post!
@milo: there's nothin that u dont knw! I think i'd already told u b4 posting this poem...kuchh yaad aaya?
@andy: I know that...but at some point one does feel very let down. N actually its not the living thts tuf, its surviving thts hard...
my my mirage dear...such capturing of pain, and that too out of the blue? no warning even! it is an awesome poem. strikes too many familiar chords. hope it remains fiction for you always.
Hey Mirage it may only be a poem to u but it's all abt my life...:(
Very beautifully written by u, while not having experienced it in real too...u completed my feelings...

as always beautifully woven words n better still carrying feelings
what else can i say :)
Well written,that poem.I see a lot of speculation in the comments that people have posted,about what the poem really means.And yet,only you would know what it really means.
Checked out some of your older posts too.Goa is heaven on earth isn't it?
Nice blog.
is this the latest hep thing to do? no more prose, writing poems?
waise y such a gloomy poem? is it for real or is it fiction?
aisa pratit ho raha hai ki aapke dil mein bahut dard chipa hai.
BTW the story might be fiction, but there ought to be some reason for u to pen it down...
before i forget I've tagged you
@ze exaggerator: Sure does. Its easier to hide the pain, but its so damn tough to forget it...
Thnx 4 visiting!
@steve: hehe! Am I glad or what that I didnt get those sympathising looks from u! :)
Yea dyer maker's comment was gr8... hats off to him!
@varun: thnx bud! :)
@dhruv: you've said it all man...thnx! :)
@phoenix: Yep, but even tho I know what I'm feeling, I cant express it precisely...
Goa was rocking...had the best time there!
Thnx for visiting my space. :)
@zxcv: Its pure fiction! and mere dil me koi dard nahi hai...its all in my imagination!

but really r ya heart broken ?? i mean if ur cheer up dudette .. life has much more to give [ evry individual on the mother earth says tht .. do not believe it ]
hard to believe, all of it being just imagination...
u got a really fertile imagination i must commend,
@ tag, i got tagged, had to pass it on... cant help it :-)
dont know whether u can take this point in the right sense, this is the journey called life, dear. never try to unravel its mysteries, just sit back and admire its beauty! and see ur admiration gave birth to a beautiful poem...
Thanks Mirage huggggz!

Keshi.
nice melancholy ;)
just this came to my mind when I read ur poem,I dont really know y ::))
woke up
opened the window
a tiger was out there
roared
"where are all those cars and noises
I used to see?"
the tiger convulsed with rage
moved around
showed off her bloody teeth
fear got the better of me
the leaves trembled
the silence broke
the tiger sallied
...
