Voyage To The Destiny Poem by Shilpa Chaganti
Voyage To The Destiny
Deep in the silent darks,
wandering and swaying around
I was, once content with life full
and concern less.
None to lad me with the
burdens of responsibilities,
nor someone to share
my loneliness.
Life held for me little surprises,
and even fewer
excitements in the
monotonous chores.
On one such dark
expeditions, was i broke off
my usual routine
when I met her...
Imperfect she was...
And also intruding and irritating..
But I too was not more
perfect, and longed to
give her company and also,
to have her presence.
She was always there- Sometimes distracting
and some others even annoying-
Pricking and pinching and
stinging me now and then.
I did it all-
Soothing her and
cajoling, as she
Screamed and chided me.
Eventually, and gradual it was,
she too showed a change-
Sublimed was she and
also softened
My love and patience blooming
and bearing fruits,
She glowed brightly with
strong sensuality
and delicate frailness.
A gift she was... Although in disguise! !
I cherished her beauty and form,
with all the reverence I could muster...
I loved her too much to leave,
making the inevitable parting
even more impossible...
She vanished suddenly
as she had once appeared..
As a pearl, most distinguished
and unique...
Abandoning me there...
A deserted oyster to die
In the still waters of unending depths..
Thanks.. I feel a heartbreak is what strengthens our heart and soul..: ')
This reads like a case study of two girls who complemented each-other after their initial hiccups. And Lo! When they became good friends, the girl who entered the narrative somewhat later, just disappeared leaving the other in a shattered state of mind. This throws light on various aspects of human psychology. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful poem, Shilpa. I was, once content with life full / when I met her...Imperfect she was... I too was not more / perfect, and longed to / give her company
:) very imaginative and likely plot you came up with.. very pleased you could see the depth in it so well. To tell you the truth, when I was writing this, I was thinking of a scenario where a guy has a secret crush on his best friend and the girl finds her love in someone else, leaving him heartbroken... :)
As a pearl, most distinguished and unique... Abandoning me there... A deserted oyster to die In the still waters of unending depths.. these lines are really very poetic lines....... she suddenly disappeared and your expressions are wonderfullllllll. thank you dear poet.
