I'm Helpless, Restless and I'm Waiting..



I am the sea on a moonless night
With rising, falling and slipping tides
I am the misshapen cloak stuck on your sides
With endless aching ends of slight


I am the leaf on the drier side 
Ready to fall in the deeper ground
I am a broken twig hoping to be found
With tears becoming heavy and about to slide


Even the sun finds shades to hide
Blocking variant sources of light
Even in my dreams
Laughter spins away in streams
I am Helpless, I am Restless
Looking for you, Searching for you
With this desperate use of pain
I've been talking in my main

I am the life which is stuck in hay
Searching for a way that goes to you
I am the feeling out and new
Waiting for you to shatter dismay

I am the dried up doubting eyes
Looking for the well that won't run dry
I am the care living closy by
Running hard over those lies

One by one by one
We let our hearts run
I am Helpless, I am Restless
Looking for you, Searching for you

I can hear you breathing
I can hear you screeching
It's more than just a feeling
I wanted just a feeling
I'm looking for you, I'm aging


I'll be waiting, anticipating
All what I was made for
When you'll fill my pore
At last completed and complete
Tides of sadness and pain subside
Depression shows itself as obsolete
Till then, I'll be waiting, anticipating and repeating
.At the top of my voice






[I wanna wake up kicking and screaming]

A voice deep down inside tells me that I should not comment on the content of this wonderful, beautiful and lively piece of art, for the obvious reasons.
I don't know why, but I move into a different world, filled with emotions otherwise deliberately concealed deep within, whenever I read your poems these days. Do count it as a complement.
Won't thank you though, cause in a sense, that'll mean I don't need more. :)

A hug might be less as a gift for this comment Usama. Your comment gave me goosebumps. And even I feel thanking you would be too formal. Maybe Hi-5 is a better option!

I wanted just a feeling and you gave me much more than that. :)

Hello Rachit,

Stopping by to thank you for deciding to follow my blog :-) Your writing is very good! I've read this several times now (this means it's worthy of more than one read *smiles*)

The images are lovely and I like how you presented this post ~ unique! The pictures on one side and the poem on the opposite. You have a lovely blog here. I love the header and my eye is drifting to the right side column in awe of the rotating 'categories! Love that!

You have a new reader :-)
Best of wishes to you on your blogging journey ~ hope you visit soon again ~ thanks!
Fiona

What's there to say? It's just too good for plain words. I love how you create a poem equivalent to a very beautiful song, using fantastic metaphors and words. Amazing. I feel you have it in you to be a pro. :D

Rachit said...

Oh Ashna infinite thanks to you for such an overwhelming compliment! :D

It's all your comments and inspiration that I post my ranting here to share with the world. There'll be a day when everyone will sing their own written song with their own tune. World will be a better and a peaceful place then. Right? :)
