Dreams Unfulfilled!!


Its a poem I scribbled 3-4 days back. I felt like sharing. So here I am, in the Blogosphere!!

Dreams Unfulfilled

Here I am
Lying on this bed
Watching the fan above
Thinking about the dreams
Those left just dreams
Rendering a pain
Deep in heart,
Unseen, unfelt, unknown
To those around me.

This fan is moving
As fast as he can.
He is in full swing
Taunting at the slow me
Unable to move
Towards my dreams.

A tear falls down my eye
& mom shouts my name.
I close my eyes
Pretending to be asleep.
She comes to my room,
Sits beside me
Does not wake me up…
Thinking,
I might be
In a beautiful dream!

    Beautiful poem. I have a question. Calling a "fan" he is your poetic license or is it masculine gender your mother tongue's grammar. I know different languages have different grammar structure.

    Dreams have the strength of making or breaking a person, they can make us vigorously happy or intensely sad. But dream we must. Always. :)
    It's a beautiful poem Priya. And one which is definitely relate-able for me.
    Thumbs up for the fact that it was your first :)

      I have been writing poems since I was 13. so it was definitely not a first attempt :)

      N ya....over the time...I too believe, once again, that we should dream...and have faith in those dreams too. For when U want something so desperately, the whole universe conspires to bring that to you, isn't it?? ;-) ;-)

This post is a part of  Write Over the Weekend , an initiative for  Indian Bloggers  by BlogAdda Chosen among the Loved posts!! "Again you are scribbling..Can't you put your nose off your books and papers for sometime?" my mother snaps at me as I scribble a poem. "Oh ma! Atleast listen to what I wrote" "Hmm...tell" "Ahmm ahmm" I pretend to clear my throat and My mum laughs back. "Will you open your mouth or should I go back to kitchen?" "Oh!No-no please!" I say quickly and grab her by elbow. Who doesn't want audience? ;) Listen," Life's unpredictable, Can't say when it would take a turn. We can't really say, When life might be deprived of all fun. It's true, What elders say, You should know to walk alone; No matter  Come what may. She smiles and looks at me for some time curiously. "You write well and what you've written is indeed true."...

*FICTION* I was going through all the messages and chats we had shared just a month back. How things change I wonder!! Re-reading them was like going through many emotions. Those lines still gave me the same smile, same laughter the way they had given me a month before or so. Though yes, this time, those were accompanied by a li'l sadness and a wish. A part of me still wished if it could be continued, if we could take it further. A wish that at least it should not have ended so abruptly like this. He thought for a while and thought about calling her. Perhaps he could change this. There was no point in continuing but he was feeling a turbulence inside him. He had always felt something different about her. After his previous relationship which ended on a bitter note, he came across somebody different. The reason why they became friends and then why he chose to end everything were unknown to him. It started all of a sudden and then ended. He knew he had his 'be prac...

The Stranger

*FICTION* Last Saturday, I was at British council, New Delhi  center.  I had gone there to collect my certificate. The receptionist told me that my teacher would arrive in an hour and only then I could collect my certificate so I went to the Charbagh there to spend my time. Since all the tables were occupied (yes there is a good sitting arrangement too), I sat at one of the slabs surrounding a fountain which is there in the middle of Charbagh. I assumed it was a pleasant day but the wind was dry and temperature not as low as I had expected. There were people sitting on the other slabs too. As it was a dry day, I scooped some water on my palm from the fountain. Freshness surrounded me so I kept doing it again and again. After a few minutes I realized a girl was observing me. She was beautiful. I wanted to stare at her for a few more minutes but I did not want to look like an idiot. So I averted my eyes and then moved to the area where there is a sculpture. Th...
