30 Years From Now Poem by PARTHA SARATHI PAUL

30 Years From Now



i am yet alive
as a poet never dies
i am yet alive
as death has not loved me that much
may be not yet sure
whether i should be taken to the hell or to the heaven
may be i am yet meant to unload some more poems
though love has come to me many times in many ways
and has brought many gifts as nails for my all parts
i have endured all of them with my poetry and old monk
look at the awards and trophies looking at your eyes
from the old showcase some rewards for sad sweats
some stoned tear drops and signature melancholic hours
and some smiles long left for the paradise pavilion
i am yet alive and very happily alone

i am yet dying to listen to the poem
unwritten in my study and poetry chamber without me
where silence is ruling like a despot without my silence
where mosses on my non existence are winning the walls
where my left behind breaths are wreathing some empty garlands
i am yet dying to see all my girlfriends streaming with seas or rivers or puddles in their now the sun baked courtyards
at the death of their old flame and a controversial soul
and my matey readers missing a hamlet poet
having lost him in the bay never to be discovered

i am yet alive
only because i am not dead
and a bit sick of the claps at different poetry ceremonies
on reading out some poems after their hearts
i am long tired and too tired to drag on any more
my daughters are mothers now and my girlfriends too
and i am too old even to look a bit young
i wanted to die young as a hero dies young
but death has not loved me yet that much
and i am alive yet
why i am alive yet

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Enjoyed this...Your employment of both Free & Prosaic Verse works well...Segments of the work remind me of Poe...Just a grammatical suggestion based on observation...The letter (I) should always be upper cased when by itself, or used as a contraction, IE: I'm, I'll... Solid crafting, Partha...~FjR~
