The Irony Of A Perfect Life! Poem by Manisha Malani

A sense of completeness in a lonely soul
A guilt and a pride, on a high together,
Aspiring and perspiring both in vain
Being one for someone and nobody for the other!

Understood and clearly misunderstood
Satisfied and yet hungry for a lot more,
Left out and crowded, fully-emptied
Nothing to do yet occupied to the core!

A failed achiever, a lost winner
colorless oceans, so blue, so green,
laughed till it hurt, cried to comfort
deaf and blind to whats heard, whats seen! !

Loved and hated, a like and a disgust
Life of a king and feeling of a pauper,
Remorse of past and fear of tomorrow
Smiling with an eye with tear in another! ! !
