The Vast Expanse of Emptiness...
He claws through me
On a burning spree
Ravaging his way
Not heeding my plea.
Mercy! I cry
His eyes stay dry
A heart of stone ?
I wonder with a sigh...
Riding resolutely
Exploring thoroughly
Destruction in his wake
He rides to glory
I sob and plead
But the fiery steed
It gallops on its way
Paying no heed
He rides ahead
I fill with dread
Fiery tentacles
Turn my heart to lead
I turn to flee
No escape I see
I watch, tortured,
Lost and empty.
A vast emptiness
A blanket of blackness
A shroud that wards off
All happiness
A fulfilled whim
He rides off, grim
All life and light
Trailing behind him
I watch helpless
Dead and lifeless
Wishing I was home
Safe and fearless
It tugs, I moan
Some dark unknown
An alien feeling
I struggle, alone
I wish for hope
To help me cope
And set things right
In the dark, I grope
I know it will end
To my wounds, I tend
How much longer
Do I wait for a friend ?

Nice poem.
but I'm sure there would be some who care for you, maybe you need to look carefully...
Thanks for stopping by and commenting on the verse...
Thanks a ton for ur concern...
But friendly hands do beckon
Twas a fleeting moment
That spewed that verse - no discontent
Smiling faces I do see
Everywhere, surrounding me
Just a small pang of regret
Managed to rouse the poet
But thanks a lot once more
For hope comes to the fore
Simple words like these
Put my heart at ease...
classic case of supply-demand problem.
ppl. whom u like, end up not carin for u... and u end up not likin ppl. who care for u.
very common problem.
lemme know if u find a solution to it.
:)
The only solution is to understand who cares for u and y... then u'll automatically start reciprocating i guess...
though i've not exactly faced such a problem... tell me if it works !!
:-)
yup... a possible solution. but only a partial one, i wud say. ask why? coz it takes care of only the supply side and not the demand side.
The demand side is self rite...
so i'm suggesting that self can adjust according to supply. Over time, demand will be satisfied - wotsay ? :-)
sounds a bit weak and self-sacrificing to me even as i write it... but one cannot have the cake as well as eat it naah ?!
:-) wont that be a defeatist approach to the entire problem? besides, demands r never satisfied over time... they r just stifled, suppressed and buried.
well, finally it depends on the individual, i guess :-)
:-)
stifled suppressed and buried... till they peep in and trouble no more ?!
well... it depends, as u, and any other management guy (or gal) would say !!!
