I have to let you go

I am lost, figuring unknown path
I am bleeding, inside my heart
I am quite, wanting to cry
I am alone, attempting to die

No,
I have to let this go
To live, to smile, to breathe
I have to let you go
To cry, to lighten, to be free

I loved, as if love is immortal
I smiled, as if happiness lasts longer
I believed, as if promises never break
I trusted, as if worlds all saint

But now,
I have to let this go
To live, to smile, to breathe
I have to let you go
To cry, to lighten, to be free

I have seen, tears flooding my way
I have felt, moments decay
I have experienced, love betraying
I have witnessed, commitment dying

And so,
I have to let this go
To live, to smile, to breathe
I have to let you go
To cry, to lighten, to be free

---Purple Thorn

A bug – a guru.

Here I sit, in this stranded cave
Having lost all –
My family, love, kingdom and people.
I have nowhere to go,
I await no one’s call –
In that bloody battlefield, I lost them all!

The battle so filthy,
It ruined me to dust –
My people betrayed, whom I trust
Still. Maybe it’s time
For me to bid goodbye –
After all that happened, I wonder why!

Where are you?
My loveliest –
The one to whom I sworn.
Traitor, yet my friend
Where have you gone?
Deceiving the land, where you were born!

Sitting here tonight,
I feel so low,
For, apart from the heavens, I’ve nowhere to go,
I flew from the arena
My people know
This shameful face of mine, I cannot show.

My sword, my friend
I plea to thee –
Cut off my head and set me free,
For, I have no choice
But to flee –
Tomorrow’s sunrise, I want not to see.

But stop. What is that bug on the wall?
Striving to climb up, yet so small,
Hurling a web and trying to mount
But each time it would surely fall.

No, wait! It is climbing now
Showing me the way exactly how
What a thought, that has crept in my mind!
“O Spider, my teacher, let me take a bow.”

Now I know! No need to fake it.
The world to you is the way you take it.
One thing that I have learnt for my life –
If you try, you will surely make it.

Now I Realize!

Hi Friends, Thanks for inviting me to the Writer's Lounge. This is my first post and so i thought to post the first poem i have ever written...hope you would like it...

You sung a hundred songs

With beautiful words

And we sat under the tree

The chirping of the birds

But now I realize,

They were all lies.

 

It looked so beautiful

When everything was calm and cool

But now the days are gone

Your heart turned into stone

In the climate, I felt the heat

And it became harder to breathe

And you made me realize,

That they were all lies.

 

You told me how you felt

And I had to regret

Coz I made mistakes

Your ego was at stakes

And now I realize,

They were all lies.

 

You asked me to move on

Like it never happened

But how can I forget

The plans that I had set

My life became a misery

But now it’s a history

Coz you made me realize,

They were all lies.

 

You told me right

It was just a dream of the night

And the night was gone

So why should I mourn

Now I made my mind

That I shall not be kind

And I have to fight

This battle like a knight

Coz now I realize,

They were all lies.

 

Yes, I realize

They all were lies.
