Best Vain Poems

( An old poem, slightly modified)

How I wish my poems could,
soar higher and higher
like a bird of limitless wingspan,
dashing into horizons far!
But they skim like web footed water birds,
tilting their wings in vain,
unable to fly to any desired destination
helplessly watching larks and eagles
flying to the...

How I wish my poems could,
Soar higher and higher
Like a bird of limitless wingspan,
Dashing into horizons far!
But they skim like web footed water birds,
Tilting their wings in vain,
Unable to fly to any desired destination
Helplessly watching larks and eagles
Flying to the far edges of the sky

"Paint in silence”
“The Weight of Temp”
Colour your canvas and spill your Art
shake and awaken many a heart
Untether your soul
from your whole
escape mundane and time
and let your brush rhyme
Have Man radiate
pour oil colours on his trait
Carve his seized dreams
and his insight of flowing streams
Let me read...

----I thought I had posted this a while back...guess I didn't. Oops. : ) here it is...couple years old.

When sorry words offer but sadness and pain,
When weary thought drifts into the tides of shame,
When heavy darkness fills my soul,
Freezing last embers upon the coal,
The love...

We Loved Her In Vain

The bones of your life lay there
you were gifted far too fair
You travelled a path far alone
before we saw, you were gone

The castles you left so pure
truth was part of your allure
Did you gift us your very best?
or save that for...

They say,that,it was a great day,
Friends were busy,with a kind of play.
Only Maa was in great pain;
But,she said it was in no vain.
My parents held me in their hands,
In the oblivion,the fate stands.

They say I'm an answer to their prayer,
But,somewhere was smiling the mankind slayer.

I...

Many a day I’ve wished, through the futility of time,
That love’s immortality would come one day to be mine,
But each day that I’ve wished brings ever the same,
For each day that I’ve wished has ended in vain!

O’ for a love everlasting, O’ for its heavenly...

A new wind blows I can but see
A hidden depth to agony
A coming drought of faith again
O Lord, let me not seek in vain

To know beyond the veil of life
My purpose here, for what my strife
In your sunshine and in your rain
O Lord, let me...

Hoping in vain

We all live today,
hoping for tomorrow
then it disappears

I drift away,
illusions dearly held
but they're vanity

Chorus

Hoping in vain
Everyone is hoping in vain
Hoping in vain
Everyone is hoping in vain


Empty words,
swirling in the strong winds
of a hurricane

All I see,
crashes all around 
none able to explain

Chorus

Hoping in vain
Everyone...

Nothing hurts me now, been the one to fall, painless, no feelings for my friends, not caring for the family
I once died for, another mind, another perspective, nothing holding me back, my time wasted building a life, 
now is gone, breaking every promise i now...

For decades I waited 
and you did not come 
to listen to my rude insertion 
finger a sound at the back of 
my throat and the vibration 
of my name

For decades I wanted to 
meet a small mountain as
I read her plain words in 
innocence
bells...

Occasionally I despair,
an eternal uphill struggle,
a hopeless walk to sanity:
what else is there for me to do
but scream?

Occasionally my stomach rumbles
as pain, hunger and strife 
make it grow distressingly tight.

Occasionally I try to fight
and seek that elusive light
at the end of the tunnel
only to find...

From the fast melting clouds comes the rain
you might wonder, and ask does it fall in vain
the question the river and the forest don’t pose
you would not either if you care to look close
see how from mellow hearts kindness drains.

From the deep darkness comes the...

 I long for and grieve over the flower
That has wilted from the plant
But never bothered to admire it
While it smiled in full bloom
Or waved to me in cheerful camaraderie!

God, help me not to dwell on things gone
But see the beauty and loveliness
Of big and...

Some will say, that I must be vain
To express in poems, such heartfelt pain
Of loves gone wrong, and broken hearts
Yet these words, so sad and blue
In each of us, we know are true
For all of us have loved and lost
And asked ourselves, is it worth...
