I Kept On Trying, To Write,

                             Again And Again!

One day, when I could not write anything

I tried, and tried hard, again and again

But could not find words to bring it down

On paper, what I felt, was it my emotion, or anger

Or just some stupid thoughts?

Though they kept on floating around

Like a fragrance coming from

Newly opened lips of rose

So tempting yet like a free soul

Impossible to be bounded!

Still, I kept on trying, again and again

Felt a strong thrust somewhere

To scribble it down, I kept on hitting paper

With pen, but it did not come, confused

I felt helpless, broken, I looked around

But suddenly it all seemed going out of sight

Afraid and scared, I cried

Like a child, all alone, felt weak like never before!

Still, holding my pen

Close to my heart with all the strength left with

A sense of not to lose it, at any cost

An urge to bring it out on paper,

To write something, somehow

I closed my eyes, and looked within

This time, to try to scratch it there

On the walls of my bleeding heart,

And, it came, finally some scribbling,

Bringing a sigh of relief

Through a wave of pain, made me smile

Though it did hurt more than ever

I kept on trying, to write,

                           Again and again!

Bring That Fire Back To Me!

Bring that fire back to me

One that put sparks in my heart

One that left my eyes burning

One that left me feeling like a piece of coal,

Turned red and intense

When came in touch with fire of thee!

Bring that fire back to me

You showed me once

When sun was hiding in clouds, and I needed it

To look around and look within

As they say it nurtures life, and

There were you with fire of thee

Though too immature to understand

The power behind it, went almost blind

In the midst of ultimate darkness

Unable to withstand the gaze of thee!

Still never wanted to let it go out of sight

It tempted me to burn self

More and more, completely,

Confused and amazed, I tried to hold on

And gazed upon, to feel the heat,

To let it make me vanish in soaring flames of thee!

It was unbelievable feeling,

One that left me speechless,

Left me overjoyed even I lost my existence

Existence that was never mine, ever!

And I could feel the heat within

That you put in my heart, and suddenly

The darkness was gone, cold heart had the spark

And, it was turned to a firing volcano

Capable of burning anything and everything!

Oh, How great!

It felt to be a part of thee…

Bring that fire back to me

Want to feel that same again

Want to lose self once more!
