He suffers in unfair predicament of a certain love lost belaboured beleaguered knowledge ungathered affections unclaimed emotions unfelt flawed flailing falling drop by drop the love-struck Romeo bleeds. His heart beats silently in an agonisingly depressed deathbed laying shattered in infinite pieces as the dream of a better life with a beloved one escapes leaving a scar of a stab in the back in a sudden reversal of fortune unceremoniously discarded like a snake's peeling skin unwanted undesired in the holocaust of his life. He is pushed catapulted away to darkness with a ray of light showing the way out as he reads neon signs that lit only for him close the door behind your back and he disappears into the darkness of the outside world down in a hole. While somewhere else, a candle breathes its last and the wise and old claim it to be lack of oxygen. If only they knew! ... Hey friends from the passions' world... I hope that this one signals my return back into the group of friends I have always desired to be with. Forgive my absence. Work, personal and health problems kept me away. Cheers, Regards, Sudhir. |

You have a wonderful way with words, reminds me a bit of a friend of mine from Mumbai. They must grow good poets there! I'm glad you came back, though sorry about the bad times. To love another person is to see the face of God. |
