Steps!

By

From childhood till now
I have grown up so far
To the phase not so mar
I had no choice but to allow

It has been a tough call
As I kept climbing up
Sometimes I had to jump
At times it led me to fall

I remember as a child
I used to learn to climb
Through the day, all the time
Up and down, feeling beguiled

Today I stand here still at top
Waiting to reach somewhere 
After scouring here and there
I realize the fact that I can't stop

Still wondering what will come next
Placing my feet on the quiet earth
I surmise that in every birth
I have to keep on climbing the steps!


This poem is inspired from a photograph uploaded by a dear friend, Saru Singhal on Facebook.  Saru, hope you like it. You can visit her blog by clicking here.

    Beautiful poem, shows the life cycle, how we learn, adapt and hope for ourselves amidst our falls.

    Thank you for a wonderful read. Third stanza is my favorite. It's so beautiful how we get inspired by simple things, truly amazing :)

    Nice use of abba rhyming. Somehow makes the words seem enclosed within themselves. Like a flower bud! Hope you keep climbing the steps!

I Have Waited Enough

By
  Walking away Past the shadows Waiting for my time You suddenly turned up All the times of pleasure Took over the pain Those unforgettable innocent eyes And that cute smile... I have waited enough You don't get it I guess you never will And it was a beautiful night The time when we kissed And stayed together Hand in hand, our love bloomed Oh, I loved every bit of it, I still do! We hit the sidewalk Walking past the insinuations And the implications Only to lose it all... I have waited enough You don't get it I guess you never will And it was a beautiful night...

I wish this night stayed....

By
Cold breeze grazing my feet Maybe it's an act so folly But my heart skipped a beat Surrounded by sheer melancholy Your whispers echoing in my ears Its difficult to see with Eyes welling up with tears Heart aching in writhe Winds changed the direction again Waiting for this since quite long No more I can abstain Come let's dance to the song Beneath the open sky Beside you I laid Now don't say bye I wish this night stayed... Check out the poem Just you and I... Image source: here
