The Unrequited Love Poem

Day 40

I love him dearly.

In the depths of his eyes,

A sea of knowledge and an emotion of kindness.

His praises for Chardonnay spilled with delight.

History, books and literature were all he desired.

I looked at him longingly and gave him all my attention.

Not once did I miss his classes of European Literature.

He always smiled at me and my heart fluttered with joy.

But he looked at me like he looked at everyone else.

Soon days of college came to an end.

And never did I see him again.

Did You?

Day 32

When the bird was flying high in search of its prey,

Did it ever worry about failing?

When the horse was racing faster than the wind,

Did it ever think about falling?

When the burden of fruits pulled the branches down,

Was the tree afraid of dying?

Then why do we worry about falling, failing and dying..

Without even trying?

If only..

Day 28

If only the mind had simple thoughts

Then life wouldn’t be in a troublesome state of affairs.

The greed and desires are many

They never seem to come to an end.

Utter helplessness leads to a fear

Of being consumed

by yet another cloud of dark sadness.

Words Will Heal

Day 26

Looking out the window

With puppy dog eyes.

Many thoughts and questions,

Fill my mind.

Unlike others,

Small talks are not something of desire.

Happy inside the bubble,

Comfortable in the shell.

Yet, a genuine connection..

A meaningful conversation

Will be welcomed with gleeful eyes.

Many Questions

Day 15

When your thoughts pull you down,

Will you shut them off?

When you are confused,

How do you make a decision to choose?

When you feel afraid,

Do you escape?

When you are lost,

Will you try finding a path?

When you are sad and need love,

Will a hug suffice?

When you need answers,

Whom does one ask the many questions?
