these lines have a deep connection with me
read between the lines correctly is more important than reading the words
On my way...
On the road to his world......
Like a sage... Silent , unheard....
Away from the world....
On a voyage, undisturbed....
On my way I heard a roar....
"Wait, don't proceed ,
unless you have heard my elucidation ,
on why should you change your course,
remember you are my angel ,my creation ...
your contribution on my stage .....
before you take exit from my world....
take a little while....
think of the little cry....
you have no right...
to terminate this life that has just begun ....
let it blossom into a flower...
and to nurture this life is your role "
I took a turn ,my back towards the road ,
that led to his home ....
my lips pursed into a visible smile.....
invisible remorse ,unhappy though ....
but being an ardent admirer of his world I bowed .
I feel no pain nor it hurts...
Like a sloe I learnt to grow in to a fruit on a thorny shrub....
and wait for this life to take its own course and time...
when I shall lie engulfed in bright light...
until then neither I will complain nor peek into his home ,
I vowed !

death is certainly not something into which we should seek a solution... the Creator has given life to the soul... let it live in this materialistic world....

ReplyDeleteyhank you @seo
DeleteAlka, your poem is very difficult to comprehend, given the ambiguity in the situation. Here is what I understood in between the lines: the end of an unborn child and an attempt of the sub conscious or the Soul to stop it, is it? Do tell me what you have depicted. It's interesting to see how a poem takes shape in one's mind and forms different meanings in the minds of readers.
ReplyDeletei know punamjr its a difficult one ,like i mentioned it has a connection with me wch i dont want to make public .plz mail your email id will mail the comprehension.
DeleteAlka, you are know for writing the words which are very deep in thoughts. So is this one. I could read between some of the lines but i am not sure if it is the soul of this poem.
ReplyDeleteawesume , nice one :) :)
ReplyDeletethank you vinisha.
Deleteyes this one is a little difficult to comprehend :( thanks for sparing time to read mak , BTW am unable to comment on your blog can you find out the problem.
ReplyDeleteAbolutely...one has no right to terminate this life...let it blossom. Beautiful words.
ReplyDeletethank you valady !
DeleteHello Alka.
ReplyDeleteI don't agree with terminating life. We should not be judge or jury either, because we never know a person's circumstances or why they make the decisions they do. Each person has a right to choose. There is much intrigue and depth to your words. Thanks for sharing.

Delete@Dear Alka: Tried my best comprehending these lines..looks like coming from a deep root which was missing for sometime. I have different interpretation; however I don't think I am right... One of them is 'a person who wants to attempt suicide, however her/his inner voice helped him revert the decision', second one could be changing the path after hearing/thinking about the one who is behind the idea of following that path'
ReplyDeleteI have too many to share.....finally, it's difficult to comprehend..and I will feel restless until i get to know...help please...
hi hemant.... its changing the path after hearing/thinking about a life who could have suffered the most had it been left behind ,alone to face the world...i must say you are one person who got that close :)cheers!
DeleteI must take it as compliment....your poems are as good as modern art......they read so good...get much required attention; however only a few understand :D
