ALL WAS WELL

-
WHENEVER WE LOOK BACK AT OUR LIFE, WE CONSIDER A TIME WHEN ALL WAS WELL. WHEN EVERY PROBLEM OF TODAY DIDN'T EXIST AND WE WERE HAPPY AND WHOLE. BUT THEN SOMETHING HAPPENED OR TO BE PRECISE IN OUR LIVES - SOMEONE HAPPENED AND ALL YOU REMAIN WITH IS THEIR VOID IN YOUR LIFE. HERE IS POEM DEPICTING THE SAME...



When you were the centre of my world,
in your eyes, my universe used to shine.
It is hard to bear the ugly truth,
you couldn't even see a star in mine.


All was well before we met,
then I stopped being the man I was.
I moulded myself into someone,
who listened to you with unending pause.


All was well back in the day
when you smiled while holding my hand.
Those hands are now so fragile,
I fear they will fall like a castle of sand.


The dreams and wishes that rose in me
of you with me and we being well,
are now lying shattered by reality
while I am in conflict with myself.


You took a part of me with you.
I couldn't smile, I couldn't cry.
Now I won't ever be whole again,
what I do is pretend and try.

BORN

No introduction or conclusion for this poem. Just read and let me know your thoughts... A life full of yearning, we have lived, Me, my lady and this house of ours. Craving the laughs and the sweet cries, of a little soul that could bless the hours. And that day of immense pleasure came, when the gods bestowed upon us, our wish. With a baby on the way, and smiles on our faces, Each day of longing was a day of bliss. This tiny soul was unknown to me, Yet, I dreamt, and it would lighten me up. I felt a bond so unwavering and strong, I couldn't wait to see it all grown-up. Our happiness grew with the baby bump, Bought dangling mobiles to hang over the crib. Tiny baby shoes and clothes of all kinds, Nappies and a bottle of milk to sip. The day of birth, I could barely contain, My great anxiety and excitement. I could hear the screams, the panting breaths, As I waited for the cries of our infant. The moaning stopped but the cry never came, Fearing the worst, I ran to the room. There she

PART 2 : AN AILMENT OF SADNESS

I know it won't be acknowledged, My petty yet pretty love for you. And as much as it hurts to write this down, I'll be damned, if all this isn't true. Somewhere, out there, beyond my reach, I know you still wander around. So, I look for places that you'd fit in, And listen for that familiar sound. Uneasiness grows, fear fills me, Countless questions make my heart sink. My whole body seems paralyzed, It fills my mind; I can't even think. Do you have a photo of me, with you in it or rather "US" in it? Was I worthy of your camera's flash? and those thoughts that made our smiles lit. Have I done you so wrong that you refuse, to even look in my direction? Was it so hard to put me down, with a little more of your affection? Never did you kiss me, at least miss me, So, my wishful thinking keeps me sane. I wasn't the one for your drunk texts, I was painting our smiles on your windowpane. I didn't hide, I'm still here, And I didn't hide even bac
