Try— A poem for them who do not give up

-

Try


                        Do you know

                        Who am I?

                        I am a poem unfinished---

                        I am a lake atop a volcano,

                        Silent and quite.

                        Do you know 

                        Who am I?

                        I am a person 

                        Who tries.

                        A person,

                        A million times denied,

                        A person rejected and told---

                        Ain't worth a while.

                        I am a person,

                        Who has a company---

                        Constant and loyal,

                        Of my shadow…

                         Each time,

                         By my side.

                         No, I am not alone!

                         A person,

                         Who seeks 

                         To the page of a diary

                         To listen to all her cries---

                          Is this person

                          I know, to be 'I'.

                          Do you know,

                          Who am I?

                          I am a person

                          Who can only try,

                           And try,

                           And try.

Time : Poetry of a time that won't reappear

Time I want to go back this while  Reverse the staircase of time, To Meet a little girl Playing in the corridor  With her toothless smile. I want to meet the girl Who was fearless at heart; Without knowing that she was. She cared for all, and she was free, Once made her friend a wanton bee. I want to sit in the  Last chamber of the car, Crack some jokes,  With no tension in heart. No grades to chase Laughing at own’s mistakes I want to be the ‘Silly’ girl Who always helped. I miss those days ol’en, When I with my frien’ Hid at the backyard lane Where no one ever went.  We discovered there  A secret chamber; High schol boys  Drank cranberry beer. Catching us peeping  They got scared.  Alas! From next day on,  The teenagers vanished in air. Nights were peaceful When sister by my side, Gazed to the neighbors  On rainy nights.  ‘Please pass on the soup’— Asked the old lady at dinner, A voice I still can ringingly hear. ...

The Nights— Because Dark is beautiful....

 The Nights ( In frame: Starry Nights by Van Gough ; 1889) Appreciate the nights As death approaches And peacefully pacifies  The billionaire’s un-ending cry For more. The man who just wants More of a body, more of bodice And more bodies And the men shamelessly Cry : 'a pervert'! Gets a comfortable sleep Into the bosom of his cocotte— A keeper, thirsty of love, Hopefully dies with  Twinkles in her eyes Love shall come—be patient. The night is dark The sky jaded with diamonds Hides the vulgar And leaves to observe What is meant to see’!   2nd Dec, Kol, 1:32 am  Starry Nights In strings Listen here— https://youtu.be/PQa-L7BMFI8

Is there No one?: Poetry of loneliness, love and a perpetual longing❤️🌿 by Souraseni B

Is There No One? In frame: Solitude by Daler Usmonov ( 2015) Is there no one whose lookin' for a friend? Is there no one, seeking a hand? Is there no one whose lookin' for a lover ? Is there no one, seeking a heart? Is there no one whose looking for me? Is there no one, for me? Walking down the street, I see faces-- Looking down and seeing a thing. They, all are alike,with neat collars, ironed and tight. Yet  so cold, that I couldn't believe They are keeping alive. They don't look at each other, They don't say me a 'hi'-- Alone...alone ...all alone I weep at the corner, meanwhile! Is there no one who will once look up? Is there no one who'll once see me? Is there no one who will end my wait? Because, dear, with you I want to be 'we'! I promise you, to build a home at the hills, And at the brook we'll let go one paperboat. We will drink water and walk slow-- But darling, tell me first, where to find you? I promise to reach you my w...
