Alok Singhal Poems

How far have we come?
To not to look back on what we left behind
Happiness is judged by the bourses
Our fates are decided by the downturn or an upsurge
...

Of all the joys that I cherish most,
You come first, you come foremost
One look of yours makes me smile
One smile of yours makes my life so worthwhile,
...

So easy for many of you but so hard for me to decide…
Shall I give to my mother who bore me, gave so much to see that I grow up to be a good human being?
To that little girl who used to play with me as if I was her only toy,
Or, to that girl in school who made my hear flutter for the first time
...

I went on a journey...in the wilderness of my mind
Had never imagined on what all I would find
Never knew so many colours ever existed
Never knew so much I could do if I persisted
...

Did I not wake up today as I do every day?
What causes a skipping of heartbeat?
Why I feel a different feeling?
...

Buttons of my mind, are so diificult to find
Vainlessly thinking of things,
Whether they exist or they don't
With teo perfect eyes, I am blind
...

You...it was only you who I could feel was mine..
But I didn't know that the twist of fate is such a swine..
You..left me with nothing but few thoughts sublime..
Don't You..remember the time..
...

In the solitude of my heart I look for company
In the emptiness I find my friends
In the sea of mortals I find myself walking alone
I look for souls like me who look for souls …like mine
...

From the dust I came
To the dust I will go back
For the time in between, dust to dust
Let me be free
...

Try as much to make it stay,
It flutters as if to fly away,
Curbed it was for years together,
Still the shine remains in its feathers,
...
