My Thoughts On My Becoming A Poet! Poem by Ramesh T A

My Thoughts On My Becoming A Poet!



All thoughts of New Year creep in my mind to think about it now;
Before venturing on writing poems, I was just dreaming to be a writer;
Conditions prevailing at that time did not allow me time for that;
Definitely I never dreamt that I would become a world English poet!

Entire energy of mine was devoted to industrial development work only;
Full time I was forced to occupy industrial work in an inventive way;
Gone were twenty two years so with no time to see even cinemas for long;
Highly dejected, depressed and deprived of time, I cried in a verse then!

I could not get peace of mind and looked for the sky with stars at night;
Joy in communion with Nature diverted my attention to a Star in the West;
Keeping myself occupied so, I dreamed so many things and felt to write;
Longings of longtime made me write a poem called That Midnight Star...!

Mentally occupied with all things of Nature, I became a mystic so to say;
Never before that I had that kind of peace and bliss in Nature so sure;
Over all 17 years it took me to discover that my talent was in poetry;
Poetry has become my life first and last and I breathe poetry forever!

Quite a lot have I written from trivial thing to philosophical ideas;
Resolved to make all my poems into a poetry book arose 20 years ago;
Surprisingly with 68 poems, I published a poetry book somewhere in 1996;
That Book called by the title Dreams, Ideas and Realities bears my mark!

Universally the mark I have made as poet stands firm with that book ever;
Various subjects I have dwelt with to compose poems in my Dreams book;
World has called me as an established poet, after I wrote on websites!

X and Y have become my poet friends in many poetry websites of world;
Years of my yearning to become a writer has destined me to be a poet;
Zealous mood everyday urges me to write poems endless as I do now ever!

enjoyed your thoughts Ramesh. 'endless' is a bit optimistic though.
