No song this!

June 30th, 2010

It is good to know
So far you had kept score
And said good bye once more
I wondered, a little hurt
Is it your denial
That makes me wait at the glass turnstile


Watching through
Waiting for you…
It is good to know
I have a mind too
Today I began to face
I removed the trace
Where you had once held
The reins and the mace


So I do things now
Just my own way-
I use the spade
Bury my treasures and spray
A little water on the sapling
A tuberose
On the graves- those
Memories
That I held so close!


It is good to know
It is a monsoon
Without a tomorrow
And a winter so far
That I would lose today’s scars
What more do I say?
Just go away…


No scores
Nothing open…
Just barricades
Blackened windows
No doors!


  1. this one

  2. wow……..good one

  3. Ah! What a post… memories of loved ones..but i think i can spend my whole life thinking of beautiful moments with someone special..may be very few :)

  4. Pain and surrender,
    no cruelty and yes,
    no song- this!

    It hurts!
    But there is passion-
    Do not let it go away
    It will stay!

    And you-
    A poet or not
    Is cherished
    and loved!

    KB, I don’t like this poem.
    You can do better and best!

    Cheers!

  5. D hurt, d pain, d denail brought out very effectively. Gud read.

  6. There is a thin line between cruelty and kindness, often we cross it at our own convenience, just so we can live in prisons of our own
