Today and Again
You've left, and I'm not Ok.
Yet, I don't have an unshaved face
or holes in my shirt.
I don't pass the nights sleepless
Don't walk under the stars.
You've left, and I'm not Ok.
Yet, I didn't take shelter in a temple
or even mumble day and night.
I didn't admitt myself in the hospital
I wasn't gonna escape the site.
You've left, and I'm not Ok.
Yet, I didn't take a handful sleeping pills
or try to jump off the roof.
I didn't touch any electric cable
Don't hang around railtracks.
You've left, and I'm not Ok.
Yet, I wasn't kicked out of the country
or sentenced life time prison.
I didn't hang from the ceiling
Firing-squad didn't put bullets in my bosom.
But life would've been better -
If I jumped off the roof
If I touched the electric cable
If I faced a train
If I Hanged
Or, Hugged the bullets.
fantastic
great piece of writing. i like how you didnt take the obvious track for a breakup poem. so many of us break on the inside and no-one really sees at all. well done. :)

Today and Again- Heart-felt comments

The poetry is simply stunning
My heart it is surely winning
Now my hopes are not thinning
I have started proper planning
The lover has colossal guts
Though also deep regrets
Dolorous feelings he gets
of course he fumes and frets
His life he has not ended
His mind he has mended
Though he is really wounded
His life he has defended
Really a very beautiful expression
Giving a highly positive impression
He has narrated finely his position
I admire with love his true confession
Dear poet, please carry on
To help all we are born
Many start life with a sad dawn
Their hearts are by poverty torn
Love is great, but you are right
To live is also our basic right
Another soul will hug us tight
Love and be loved day and night.
With best wishes.
good piece...
I seldom make comments. Only when necessary and the piece is deserving. I find this piece well-crafted... rhythm and measure combined. Keep posting!
