Feelings
The day you tried to become a stranger..
my intrinsic secrets shocked, perplexed,
and refused to surface.
For, my feelings are not for any outsider.
Inmost, integral, very much mine
just like you were sometime.
They help me survive
by keeping me warm & alive.
They are my true companions
unlike you,
who isn’t ready to be even a mate….
The naked truth as much as I hate.
I know you exist somewhere
under the same roof.
But so far off,
secluded and aloof.
Tell me how long you plan to ignore ?
I’ll ask the feelings to be patient a bit more.
Right now their exhilarations soar
Oh ! How much I quell them to the yore.
I still feel the warmth of your touch….
the sensation, the feelings that endure.
The warriors that they are,
they don’t and won’t die for sure.

Cuckoo,
I like this poem very much. The undying pain is very visible.
“I still feel the warmth of your touch….
the sensation, the feelings that endure.
The warriors that they are,
they don’t and won’t die for sure.”
Touched a chord in my heart.
Keep writing, God bless you. aur poems zara jaldi-2 likho.

Quite a touchy one. My favourite part would be:
I’ll ask the feelings to be patient a bit more.
Right now their exhilarations soar
Oh ! How much I quell them to the yore.

Mayank,
Thank you. Jaldi nahi ye to aksmaat he hota hai.
Ashes,
Thank you. Hmmm… somehow I didn’t like the poem at all but I think the lines you have mentioned were the best out of these.

Wonderful poem!! Never knew you write poems and that too so very well. Great going… Would wait for some more of such “aksmaat” moments from you

Shekhar,
Thank you. Aap to mujhe sharminda ker rahe hain.
But frankly speaking, I didn’t like this one.
You can read my other creations here.
Read them when you have time, starting from the very first one (that’s also one of my favourites-check right sidebar). Probably you’ll notice the changes with time in my writing.
And yes, feel free to comment wherever you want to. Be generous.

You might say “‘you never cared”,
you might say “you never shared”,
you can blame me for whatever went wrong,
I just want you to be strong,
you will get over me, may be a bit slow,
but before that I want you to know,
your love has made me kneel,
it’s not what I show is what I feel… Nischal
well, made it up just now…. now you know what I mean by ‘STUPID’

Nishchal,
That is a brilliant piece.
Thanks. Next time I know whom to approach.
