I started writing this piece out of nowhere. Tired from my studies during my 12th board exams, I wanted to write something different & in a different way. I had read about different kinds of poems & one that did suited an amateur hobbyist like me was a “Free verse”. It is a poem without any structure & does not necessarily having any rhyming (schemes, ask who?). This poem tries to explore the emptiness of thoughts in one’s mind, especially mine.
My thoughts are bereft
Of sunshine of present,
Lacking in water
Of experience of past
Unaware in fragrance
Of circumstances in future
But still enrapture
The fascination of my mind
And
The wonderfulness of world within.
So…
Let them agree
With individuality
Let them be free
To feel the reality
For they want to,
I know,
They have the strength-
To touch the bottom of the sky
The tranquility of oceans
The deepness of mountains
The emptiness of the air
Let them create truths,
Not miracles.
Let them attract visions,
Not eyesight.
Let them ravish beauty,
Not attraction.
Let them exhilarate time,
Not living.
The world outside me
Is
Beautifying the soul within me
With its vastness
And enduring relativity.
The world outside me
Is,
Finding a heart of
True happiness
And
Insurmountable love.
My thoughts are now growing
In value,
Multiplicating in strength.
For there is a hope
Of bearing the torch
Of
Eternal joy and happiness
For there is a light
Of bright success
And deep contentment,
Still shining.
My livid thoughts do rise in
Vigorous capabilities,
That possibilities
Of bringing the spiritual soul in me
To its deepest existence
There is a certain change
No wonder…
There was a hard effort
& Still
I wonder,
As I think harder.
