Alone – A poem

The snap -





The poem -

Mad moments few,
Will be drenched in dew
Lost in the darkness; my wry laments;
Just a handful
A handful of bitter tears;
Deeply blistering tears –
Scarlet scars painted; on
Crimson cheeks tainted;
Of pain;
Of love slain;
Like Cain;
Of Abel slain;


An elegy;
Of a love lost.
An orgy of a melancholy;
At a hearts cost.
Anguish; Ache;
Vodka; Sake;


I cry alone every night,
Dipping and drenching my shattered soul; in
A handful of bitter tears;
Deeply blistering tears –
I cry alone every night,





To remember the moments I spent laughing with her.
The bliss; the heaven;
The kiss; the Beethoven;
My love, my bow;
My Soul, my Spirit;
Lass of an angel;
In the bass of love;




Oh…. I lost her, I lost her
I lost her, I lost her……




Please do not disturb me; When



I cry….. Alone every night.





Author’s note –


The above poem also is based on a Tamil poem that I wrote while travelling to Coimbatore a few days back (I haven’t posted the Tamil poem but if you guys want to read the original Tamil poem, I will post it later). My sis says that I can be pretty depressing with my words sometimes. The above poem according to her is one of them. I don’t really agree with her. I think that pain in love is the ultimate salvation in life.



PS –


I actually am posting this poem from a browsing center nearby my home. The broadband connection in my home has been having a lot of problems lately and I have not been able to tweet or to blog regularly because of that. I have registered a complaint and I think that those BSNL guys will take a couple of days to look into the problem. I will be offline till then. Really funny things have been happening lately and I do have a lot of smiles to spill to you guys and will do so once I come back online. :):)


Until then.


Cheers….

"Pain in love is the ultimate salvation." !!

This piece wowed me off and this particular thought pushed e off the edge..I'd never, before looked at love with such a perception.

Wonderlicious !!

sm said...

nice poem like it
pain in love
if there is no pain can we call it love ?

vinny said...

Love n pain is the same thing...in fact i was shocked when i started reading this...some time back i was just juggling with the concept of pain being love turned around n vice versa n how ridiculous it is on our parts to think of love as 'happily ever after'.....n then i read this piece of creation...which summarised whatever i had concluded!!

what a lovely coincidence!!

i loved this a lot n cannot pinpoint any stanza as the best because all the lines were beautiful...just wondering who u lost? :)

All the best with BSNL! ciao:)

Dude r u in serious love pain always ?? Wass cooking ?? Go fetch her !!!

Velu said...

I think this pain was for the loss of the broadband! :)

But I do agree that the pain from love is a privilege of the few. But its like that Bacchan ad where he says, "Dard hame kuch sikhata hai".

I think its best to love and learn from others get hurt in love. :)

Cheers,
Velu

Beautiful expressions there. Initially I thought this was a tribute to the innocent children and lives lost in the shooting and slashing. It was only when I neared the end, I realized its something else. But its still so poignant. And I'm still in a depressed mood from the weekend, so I guess it touches a raw nerve somewhere :(

muthu said...

@ Deeepa---

hmhm.... I think a piece of ourselves drip into the words we are writing. And if we can write what exactly we are feeling- then that alone, I think will make one insane writer.

Thank you for your comments. I do hope I did not put down you too much.

Will sure make it up soon with a nice humor post. :)

Deepa from FictionPies said...

Hey its not you, its just the mood that made the post resonate with the happenings! You keep doing the good work you always do!

That's the best compliment anyone can get about what they pen. That people can relate to the same.
