longings........

Long years they have been,
away from you I suffer.
Everything!! I have seen,
in darkness I have been utter.

You came,
there was a ray of hope.
You were light,
who brought peace to my soul.

Through the vicissitudes of fate,
I dance like a pendulum.
From bliss to sheer pain.
One moment with you,
in the next I go insane.

Come to me,
take me whole.
I am missing,
in bits and pieces.
Fill me up,
complete me.

The thing that I really loved abt the poem is the content and flow. There's something magical ( as well as scary ) about it.
It also doubles as the lyrics to an epic rock song :D ..
Once again.. keep writing.

Hey Pals... everyone praising the blog.. so I thought why not be a little critical :)

I think its only been 1 year... but I guess months seem years when u go through these things.

"vicissitudes of fate" - is from V for Vendetta's intro monologue... too big a word for poetry... breaks the flow :)

These apart... u really miss him dont u.. don't worry... someone better's there...

And i never expected this kind of intensity from you... Nice surprise.. a whole new side to your persona...

Keep writing :)

@wordsworth...

Sorry to dissapont you,but mortals arent worthy enough for that kinda intensity.
And ..get to know me better;)

I definitely like this one. Particularly the line "I dance like a pendulum.. from bliss to sheer pain" . I cannot agree more than this with you. man !! you are some poet.. To have my 'invaluable' comments, please make your blogs even more interesting :p .. naah just kidding..

btw, how does it feel being in 'bliss' ? I am planning to be in bliss all day today ;)

I am pleasantly surprised. That was quality writing. I do not have the knowledge or the aptitude to comment on poems. Yet I could feel that there was distinct class in the write up. I am a bit (nay totally) in the dark about the person being immortalized in the poem. Please do introduce me if it’s not a problem.

Ok, I will be frank. In first go, I was really looking for Sai Baba's Name mentioned somewhere. These are pretty deep thoughts, I have heard a lot about your faith in Sai Baba. I really feel He is taking care of you. Remember how disturbed you were some time back, CAT/GRE/WORK..I guess He is helping in deciding what to do next. You even thought the trip wont be that great, but ultimately it turned out to be. I am happy for you.
Very nice poem, I also agree with Rahul B Rao, dont have the aptitude to understand it but after a few readings I got hold of your idea.
Good .
Take care.
