Blowing Balloons
BLOWING BALLOONS
Balloons blown
fully swollen
with dreams, aspiration and ambition
in multi colours of determination.
from very childhood
in frolic playmood.
Balloons of pride galumphed
on conquest and triumph
in youth: Arrogant and aggressive,
devoted- diligent-decisive.
Gas-balloons of gluttony
to surpass monotony
burst sudden
relieving burden.
Huge hued balloons of dormant desires to hold,l¡
being overconfident and perfect bold,
yet unaware of air leakage
through holes of passing age.
Fattened bulged balloons
turned flat shrunk late or soon.
Got fused in senile damage,
Not to inflate ! Beyond usage.
Time is over completing race.
Lived with balloons ! Now leave in grace.
