My Battle!!

-->
This is one of my favorite poems about a battle which, I will never stop fighting.


Every night, I practice in front of the mirror,
Ways in which, I can voice what is in my heart.
Every next morning, I prepare for my battle,
With my heart filled with joy and terror.
My battle, to express my feelings to you, My beloved,
But the moment, you come in front of me,
I begin to stammer.
My eyes are riveted on your beautiful face,
And how can one not admire your charming eyes,
I collect all my courage to tell you,
"You mean the world to me”!!
But again I lose my battle,
Raising feelings both sweet and bitter,
Bitter, because I lost my one more chance to express myself
Sweet, because I lost to a beautiful and charming girl like you
Still, I am not disheartened,
I will continue to fight this battle,
Until I succeed.
I don't mind losing to you
But not every time,
Please!!! let me win just once,
My sweetheart!!!
Then, if you say,
I will loose everything
Everything, BUT YOU!!!

My Life

I tried to understand my life, It made me fall in a maze, Where I was struggling, To figure out my own way, It was topsy-turvy, The puzzle made me cry. It seemed like a desert, Hot and dry, And I was lost in my life. I tried to understand my life, It made me drown in an ocean, With water all around, No one to see, I tried my best to swim across, But what it gave, Storms and rain, The waves got me, Took me to an island, Far away, Where I was all alone, Searching my own way. I tried to understand my life, It seemed I was thrown in a endless sky, To fight with the vacuum in my life, What I saw was a vacuum surrounding me, I was so small in the universe, I am just a small entity, Like a droplet of water in the sea, I was floating to find out a way, All alone in the endless Milky way. I tried to understand my life, With wind on my face, And bare feet, I had to go ahead to cut the forest as far as I see, I had to make my own way through the maze, I had to swim through the waves and ...

Veerana

Second one of the short poem series.  This short poem is about a lonely place which craves for someone to bring it to life. Veerana Mein ghar ke darwaze khidki khol ke rakhta hoon. Kya pata koi hawa ka jhonka kab aa jaaye. Kabhi koi chahchata, guzarte hue ruk jaaye To iss veerane main bhi chahal pahal ho jaaye. Deserted place I leave all the doors and windows of my house wide open, Don't know when a warm breeze finds its way in. Hope sometime a chirping passerby stops for a while To liven up this deserted , lonely place. Composed by: Priyank

Ashq

This poem is part of a series of short poems I wrote. I am also working towards translating them in English. The picture is one of my very good friends Aastha Gupta, clicked by her husband Siddharth Vishwanath. Ashq Hai koi dil ki tahon main , Jiski chikh sunai nahi deti, Woh ankhon se ashq ban chalak padta hai. Aakhir kab tak jeeta sunsan seene main. Tear There is someone deep within the cockles of the heart, Whose shrieks go unnoticed, Occasionally, it falls off as a tear from the eyes, After all, how long can one stay in a desolate chest.
