I roam this earth, in search
I find after long and difficult wait
I lose it in moments still
I stop breathing in that pain
My mind searches in all the lands
My heart just beats to pump blood
I stop looking out and stay within
I dream of dreams but never wish
I stay in my lands and wait forever
I smile, I laugh, I breathe
But only in moments unaware
I glance at me
I see my eyes sad and questioning
Why
I have no answer, I know not the reason
I stopped looking out and accept the way
I can’t fight what I can’t change
The paths are written, I follow them
Questions are a waste, reasons are flimsy
I now know what I must do
I walk on the unseen roads
I look at the mountains
I look at the sand
I see the desert that lie in front
I long for the water, a mirage will do
I don’t care much, if it is lie or truth
I lived in truth, I lived the lie
What difference does it make what either is
I still can hear my heart in pain
I still can feel the fires on soles
I look down
I look up, then I look within
I see the fires in my soul
Burning low, burning deep
It is smothered with life sometimes
But it is always there when nothing appears
Burning bright, burning deep
Always burning…..

Aww…how good it feels to read a poem from you. Write more
My darling girl, you have always encouraged me even when you are far away from me… All the words I write have some or other link to you and your words to me
That’s so sweet of you😊
This poem of yours came as a sweet surprise. I look up, I look down. Then I look within. I see the fire in my soul. Always burning.👍
Aww Jeni girl.. Thank you.. I just wrote words
I loved, loved, loved the poem 💙
Especially the last lines💯💯
Oh thank you, my Orange blossoms.. How are you darling… Are things settled with you in your life… I have been quiet in so many days waiting when orange starts blossoming
Hehe! 💙 That’s so so sweet of you 🙂
I’m good, and things are going good too. How have you been? Rockstar rocks at poetry too haan? Love your musings!
Sometimes somedays, my blossoms I write under the category musings… Words come I write… No idea how
Shalini, I am so very happy to see your post. A very high quality writing beyond my complete comprehension but the fact is that I have been looking for them
Totally missed them and very happy to read again.
Haha it’s fine Kurian.. I just wrote what came into my mind… I have no idea till I go back and re read it to know what I wrote
That’s great Shalini. Such spontaneous writings are always the better. I am happy to see you again
Reblogged this on Die Erste Eslarner Zeitung – Aus und über Eslarn, sowie die bayerisch-tschechische Region!.
Thank you
hi shalini its been a long time since i used wordpress and now today for the first time i read your poem its was very honest and realistic just like every ones life…. i really enjoyed the way it was set it was spontaneous and lovely i loved it and the thing i liked the most was this whole poem was innocent just like a little kid expressing all his pain with complete honesty and with no fear of being judged ….. keep writing more i really loved this one…
Thank you so much. I rarely write only when I am filled with deep emotions. Rest of the time I can’t write. Thank you for your kind words. I generally put my words under category musings, rest is all book reviews
deep emotions sure has power to make pen move …. its natural that word are best way to handle these emotions…… and u did great that way….
Thank you so much again
“The Paths are Written, I must follow them.” What are you expressing in those lines?
That sometimes I don’t have a choice, I have to walk on the paths of fate and I have to walk on them and follow it to the end, even if it is painful
This is beautiful…
Thank so you much for your kind words and for reading it.
Beautiful. 😊❤
Thank you for your kind words… Sometimes I write
Haha. I am going thru your post. You do write really well. Shalini. 🙂
Well… I write… But these musings are generally soul deep and from the heart
Well. If yu take it another point of view. I am really happy and envy you in a way. :’) You can express your thots from deep down very clearly and beautiful 🙂
I don’t express. These words come automatically and I am forced to write. After I write only then I read it….
:'( Hahaha. Sorry.. But I envy you even more now.. :’)
Why???
Why do you have to envy… You write so well…
Well. Thank you. Shalini :’) The thing is that to fact that words comes automatically to you and I haven’t written for long tym.. :’)
Don’t worry Tyler, write when you feel like. I write only when I feel extreme emotions…
Emotions do help ppl to write. I wish to it helps me too.. Btw I am good with being called Tyler.. You can also call me Ramesh :’)
Oh then who is Tyler and why is he learning to write
Haha.. Well. It is kinda alias pseudo name I have.. Well.. He isn’t really good at writing.. So learning bits and pieces from forum like this..
Ok cool… That’s fine
😊😊 Happy blogging.. 🙂
You too and happy diwali
Happy Diwali.. 😊😊
