Making Of A Poet

Rating: 5.0


1
Playing carelessly, in the colorful world
Watching the curveting dancing bird
Always happy like a pretty fawn
Morning evening and in the dawn
Worldly wisdoms remained at length
Sincere love and emotional strength
Were my days and my nights
No worries about the bereft rights
Earth was to me living verse
Unable to compose a phrase terse
II
A NIGHTMARE awoke me a day
Changed the pattern and the way
Everything went upside down
I trembled from the study brown
That dragon was of the appetite
With mouth gapped and full might
Closed in my thoughts in a wall
Nobody turned there on my call
Faded away all the zest and vigor
Could not reclaim the vanished rigor
III
Fell in love with a pretty mate
To escape from the
She showed love and did flirt
Soon her gestures made me alert
To desert me, was her hurry
Love in this way did she burry
IV
The living verse turned into a ruin
Such that which could not go in
Then started looking into my self
As do the fairies and the elf
Was I a prey to senseless world?
Passionless hungry and absurd?
Mind was crushed and thoughts frozen
Emotions chilled and peace broken
The same state for a long time prevailed
No chances were by me availed
V
One day a firefly like thing
Crept into mind and stayed cling
Heart was heated and thoughts melted
It so happened that they pelted
The bricks and stones and innuendo
On the events passed long ago
VI
Heart felt warmth and thoughts heat
THE LOVE came again but only to beat
Hate antipathy, and animosity
Started then a strange curiosity
Eyes began seeing the real worth
The inside gloom and skin deep mirth

VII
SANG THEM ALOUD ON THE HEART CORD
PEOPLE NAMED ME A GREAT BARD! ! !
