feel in me the dull shades of grey
when daylight is altered to dark,
and hear from me the sounds of May
when rabid dogs stand tall and bark;
even though the weather is great
I'm in such a state of nasty
call me very unfortunate,
sympathize and sell me pity!

ever since the bird flew away
like a tourist flying free miles
and lucrative lures held their sway
my spirit is stitched in sad cries;
into deep skies, she dashed away,
crystal clear with open blue hues,
and the colours, she took away
from my canvas, leaving back slew.

was fragile and now, I'm broken,
lightning struck when murky clouds clashed
and thunder roared an explosion
that left me with all hopes dashed;
please don't call me unfortunate,
don't sell me packets of pity,
no more can I pay the rent, mate,
of dreaming those dreams so lofty!

and here I am, scribbling hot air
as the day fades into nothing,
perhaps I am shedding despair
with words full of wasted meanings;
forgive me friends, I've been unfair
to pester you with my wailings
and now I am done with my share,
bid you bye for today, smiling.

Thank you for reading this rambling!

Sometimes we just have to let it all out, and let it fall where it may....

never NOT write, Sudhir....

I won't speak for others, but I've been enjoying your thoughts.  Perhaps the only true waste is to let such things fester within, never allowing others to share your feelings with you.

You are among the best when it comes to rambling!  Love these lines..

no more can I pay the rent, mate,
of dreaming those dreams so lofty!"

=========================
my spirit is stitched in sad cries;
into deep skies, she dashed away,
crystal clear with open blue hues,
and the colours, she took away
from my canvas, leaving back slew.

was fragile and now, I'm broken,
lightning struck when murky clouds clashed
and thunder roared an explosion
that left me with all hopes dashed;
please don't call me unfortunate,
don't sell me packets of pity,
===============================
and here I am, scribbling hot air

========================
You should be smiling...from pride for this one...
there are FAR TOO MANY very cool lines of both imagery and emote to call this one rambling my poet of brilliance....far too many very cool poetic turn of phrase as well.
that opening line is perfect...the perfect hook and image
this is heartfelt expressive and full of imagery and the rhyme scheme is clever and well done...
nope..cant call this one rambling...
gotta call it poetry in motion SUD-STYLE  

I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep.
I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you.
You'll always be the one.
You were the first, you'll be the last.

if a ramble my friend... then a ramble with substance and one with many many beautiful lines...

poems...are at times I feel, just a ramble of mind or thought trying to capture a moment of emotion or an ideal...

I enjoyed this..
