Testing times...

There I was eagerly waiting,
My hands tied, not allowed to do anything
There I was eagerly waiting,
Only to receive spam calls and messages

Thoughts about this and thoughts about that
Not allowing me to do anything but sweat
Counting the days and counting the seconds
Becoming more difficult with every passing second

Anticipation with every message and every call,
Each one more disappointing than the previous one…
Hundred & one things to do, each one more important than the other
But nothing seems to get done, thoughts always lingering back...

Apprehension with every passing second
Confidence rekindling hopes
Have always been proud of my patience
But this is one test I don’t want to endure again…

Okay, if that was an attempt at trying to show off you non-existant poetry skills, then "breaking news", you did succeed! Care to elaborate what this is about?

Thanks for the compliment man..:):)
Poetry is written when you don’t want ppl to know what ur thinking, because that’s the only way u say something and not be explicit (Prose is too straight forward...Its only for lesser mortals like us..)Thats why this attempt to raise the bar..:):)

As far as elaborating this is concerned, don’t u think the whole purpose is defeated? ;-)

Che! But I totally disagree with "...(Prose is too straight forward...Its only for lesser mortals like us..)" I think you meant .. "Lesser mortals like you!".. he he...

dilip said...

Correct...i meant lesser mortals like "you"..:):):) hehe
Anyway i plan to ask "you know who" regarding your poetry skills..:):)

No matter how tough you try to pretend
Sizzling emotions and hope filled dreams never seem to end
How you wish one dream so dear just falls right in place
But then somebody else's wud have disappeared without leaving a trace..

I hope I got the context right;)... beautiful poem kaNo...keep writing

Dreams are built around people
Seldom are they only yours
Aligning it left and right
Hoping not to break others along the way...

You pray hard, you play hard
Always trying to achieve the best
But you seldom realize
Best in your eyes, maynot be best in theirs

Thanks kane..How can u be wrong? :)
