On an unknown road, in a moonless night
I start for home
Not sure of reaching my destination
As death haunts the place
I shudder with fear of unknown
But for the light of love
I am engulfed in darkness
My guiding voice inspires me,
Shows me the right way,
Makes sure I'm safe
And then...
It's time to bid good night!

Good morning poet!
ReplyDelete:) Good morning... But does it qualify as a poem? I don't know what it is... but this happened to me two nights back... there was a fatal accident and the cops had blocked a strech of the road that leads to my house... I had to take hitherto unseen roads...
ReplyDeletehello Charu, there is an innocence in this, which is poetry. this is the way to write. i am not an expert in poetry, but i know when something touches and i consider it as poetry. simple. don't try writing poetry. just write poetry when it comes to you. just relax and write.
ReplyDeleteIts beautiful and straight from your heart.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you want to write poetry? I mean as Venuji has said an effort in writing.. just write your thoughts..
:) thank you so much for appreciating it... This is my experience... not a bid to write poetry... but I'm glad to know that it touched Venu sir and Kalpana found it beautiful... though the experience was ugly ;)
ReplyDeleteyou seem to be tense returning home after the late night work at the desk. i remember reading another piece also describing this fear.
ReplyDelete:) not always... actually my new house is in the suburbs of the city and it takes longer time to be home... and this day was particularly bad... I had to take some congested roads inside the industrial area and I had no clue where was I going to reach... moreover the glances that a girl gets from other drivers do make her uncomfortable, especially at night
ReplyDeleteBeautiful were your words, I mean how beautifully you have put in your thoughts into words and I belive that is what it is all about...whether it is poetry or not should not be the idea
ReplyDelete:) thanku
ReplyDeleteIt sure is not the poetry but its something better than that i think.
ReplyDeletePeople trying to be poet are wrong. Expressing yourself with right words is poetry.
