Life ...

A heart so lonely

Full in utter Confusion

Mindless queries

And unanswered questions

A chill in the spine

A silent tear brimming

At the edge of the eye

Walking lonely among many

Uncared by many

Loved by a few, very few

Giving some temperament

Life is a good teacher

Going past me fast and steady

Dragging me into utter confusion

Confusion!! Of future, the moment next

Time is an elusive thief

Flashing moments of happiness

By precision, are very few

Suddenly overpowered by sadness

Sadness!! Struggle.

Happy are the people beside me

With no time to waste,

Moving steadily in the journey,

Journey of life.

Sitting idle on a branch

Like an owl watching,

Branch being the path

Leading to many small big streams

Dilemma. Illusion. Confusion.

Surround the ambiance

Around me I feel

An air of turgidity.

Life is a mystery nurtured thoughts

Which keep me at stake.

The sense inner

Inner sense abides with me

Constantly, sometimes showing path

Obstacles and the dangers.

Abusing the time

Insulting the so called human caliber

Even enthusiasm.

Making me much more weak and lonely

Life goes on.

Looking back gives much sorrow

Optimism is failing

Pessimism is winning

The battle for life

For the ultimate victory

The victory being loss

Falling like an exhausted dry leaf

Ruffled by the winds

Thrown by the air

Washed by the water

Moving to a location, unknown.

The shore at the sea

Touching my feet

Every time it touches  

Gives me a sense of failure

Overpowered by the sea at shore

Dragging me to the bottom

Bottom of the sea

Sailing in the under-sea

Unprotected, forgotten and Alone

Trepidation has taken a warm place in my heart.

Waiting for some help

Help to bring me to shore

Help to teach me the life

Help to keep me at bay from failures

Help to teach me the odds of life
Help to make success a friend.
