The Pensive Me!



Looking at the moon,

Looking at the Stars,

And looking at the Sky,

I wondered and wondered,

Wondered with a glint of pensiveness,

With a glint of the days bygone,

And with a glint of regrets.


Regrets for the time that’s far beyond reach,

Regrets for the time which was once most cherished,

Regrets for some things which were so part of me,

Regrets for the lovely moments which today seem so empty,

Regrets for the realization and Regrets for the today’s Truth.


Truth that was a lie yesterday,

Truth which was confronting me forever,

Truth which was veiled and hidden,

Truth whose reality was just too dark,

Truth which had shaken me enough not to even sleep,

Truth which was so bitter that I preferred the lie.


Lies and Truths, veils and realizations were around,

Blinded by faith and Aghast to realities,

I walked and I walk succumbing myself to fate,

Fate which was brighter yet illuminated by a darker past,

Past which haunts me of the Feeble minded me.



Me of the past years,

Me of the present decade,

Me with a past,

Me with an illuminating present,

Me with regrets,

And Me with that experience,

Me with shredded tears,

And Me with a zeal of moving past it!

  2. Sometimes, I do wish there was a rewind button on life and then I could change things.. But then, I do know that I wouldn't be the person I'm today without that!

    I love myself today what I have become and that pain and suffering has a big hand in making me!

    I loved your last line... I would have called it a pessimistic poem but you changed my opinion!

  7. @kajal.....i agree to that pains always precedes loads of happiness or we wdnt relish them

    @Ani every past has a lesson so we shd just learn to accept and move towards a better life :-)
