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!
