an old poem..written years back. Have no mood and time to write this week and so felt like posting this.
O Poetry…a beauty you are
Matchless in your grace
I can sit back for hours long
Just gazing at your face.
You drag me down, you lift me high
You make me laugh, you make me cry..
You paint my wings in brightest hue
In strangest lands, U make me fly.
O Poetry, enchantress you are
In rhyme and rhythm clad.
With a veil of music over your hair
And a halo round your head.
With tearful eyes-as you I watch
You wipe my tears with loving touch
You inject peace to my troubled soul
You heal my wounds that pain so much.
Are you from the land of Gods?
Who brought you down to earth?
From whom you learnt this magic spell
That holds captive my heart???
The other day-when the night was dark
And stars and moon all gone
I saw you dance, O gorgeous maiden
With tinkling anklets on.
I heard you gurgle as the stream
I saw you sparkle bright…
I heard you murmer, I heard you whisper
In the woods all night.
And I saw you on the morning grass
As the dazzling dew
O lovely lady, in all your forms
I fall in love with you.
I fall in love a thousand times
So I can’t help but gaze
O poetry, a wonder you are
Matchless in your grace!!!!

@modernexile

@stillthinking
Thanks Goirick da.....compliments from someone like u is really very special!!!
Clarion.the Ramanuj college magazine
Ponder and wonder...yes what else.?after all "its all so beautiful"
A confirmed romantic's views on poetry. The myriad feelings that one brings to life through words. Nice work. Reminded me of Ozzy's 'Mama I'm coming home' especially the lines,"You make me laugh, you make me cry.."
Sagorika's says that this was published in Clarion, but I have no way of knowing.....I didn't ever go through a page of most of the issues....on hindsight, maybe I should have. I remember that epic three-page poem that you wrote though of love and longing.
@ sujoy.
Thanks! I love poetry and just cant help singing in its praise.
Ah that long poem..nice to know that u still remember that :)
I wish I had fallen in love with peotry before...
but its better to be late than never .... so i dont mind....
BTW ... its really beautiful ... I have always taken refuge in its lap....It is a song which i wish to sing all my life....keep walking!!!
