POEM NO. 225 - UNFULFILLED DESIRES!!


Poem No. 225 – Unfulfilled desires!!


When I set out on this journey,
I believed I could sail through,
Victorious, triumphant I would end up, I thought,
But bitter disappointments are what I mostly got,

I believed my dreams would come true,
My desires will eventually be fulfilled,
However ambitious and big they may be,
Coz I always thought I had the potential in me,

I imagined a life full of joy and luxury,
If I get the things I badly wanted,
But I couldn’t make my dreams a reality,
And now I have realized; some things just aren’t meant to be,

I had hoped I would reach the skies,
Or maybe even higher I wanted to go,
But now as I look back, I ponder,
Am I good enough for my dreams, I wonder,

Why wasn’t I realistic at all, I am thinking,
Why did I dream big in the first place,
 I just couldn’t estimate where I stand,
And now my frustration, very few can understand,

I had high expectations from myself,
But missing was the smartness,
And also maybe the required intellect,
And so I failed; a fact which I now have to accept,

But I do have a good alternative with me,
This rejection is surely not the end,
Maybe life was meant to be this way,
And I can surely try again, another day,

I wonder why we often forget that,
There will always be unfulfilled desires,
In life; and many a lost conquest,
But that shouldn’t ever deter us from living life to the fullest………..

    life gives million reasons to stop wishing or desiring something for urself..
    however,if u really believe in ur dreams,u ought to give them every chance possible.. u just have to fight till the last breath..

To you , my mother!! Today I really want to say something, To you, my mother, my creator. Thank You, for everything you've done, I need you, I really do, Please stay by my side forever.... I remember a day of the past, When you held my little finger, Took me to school the very first day. I was crying, terribly upset, Coz i didn't want to stay away from you. I remember how i used to cry, When every morning you went to the dispensary. I needed you then, i need you even now. I need your guidance, your advice. I need your backing, your support. Today I really want to say something, To you, my mother, my creator, Over the past few years, You've become my guide, my mentor, I need you, i really do, Please stay by my side forever.... I am indeed very lucky, To have a mother as sweet as you. I am indeed very lucky, To have someone who cares for me, Who appreciates my achievements with glee, Yet equally stern when i am wrong. You have a heart of gold, my mother, Please stay by my sid...

YOU HAVE ENRICHED MY LIFE!!

You have enriched my life!! In an era where happy marriages are an illusion, In you I see love so untainted, so true, It is pleasantly surprising and gladdening, And I feel so lucky to spend my life with you, The twinkle in your eyes; the caring look on your face, I see, as I open my eyes every morning, I feel your soft hands gently stroking my forehead, The moment is beyond doubt, refreshing, I feel excited while coming back from work, Knowing someone’s eagerly waiting for me, And as we sit and share the day’s happenings, All my worries vanish; I feel happy and free, Sweetheart, let me hold you for a moment, And let all the memories flow, From the first time we met, the first time we kissed, To the birth of our children, and seeing them grow, The times spent with you have been priceless, And I can’t imagine living even a day without you, Dear, your smile mesmerizes me even now, I can spend my whole life merely gazing at you. I feel like praising you all the time, For you are a ...

DRAVID: THE UNSUNG HERO!!

Dravid: The unsung hero!! An epitome of perseverance was he, A man of resolve; like a wall he stood, Weathering every belligerent storm with ease, Every single time, without an interlude, An epitome of ethics, an ideal sportsman was he, He made us believe, cricket’s still a gentleman’s game, For rarely he shouted, cursed or resorted to unfair means, Never did we see him bring our country’s reputation to shame, An epitome of selflessness was he, A man who would have walked on fire for his team, He did everything he was asked to do; and more, He would die saving someone else’s life, it does seem, An epitome of humility, a true altruist was he, For never in his life was he seen flaunting his records, Preferring instead to be a shadow, an unsung hero, A man who served; without expecting rewards, An epitome of loyalty was he, Like a mother loves her child since birth, Every step he took was in the interest of the country, Yet who never r...
