Short Derailment Poems

Blame, I do blame her
Her derailment of our love
We did crash and burn
But finally she rose up
We brought love on the up-turn

A Miss diagnosed tragic ailment,
Life strongly suggesting derailment,
Said, “Dis ease among men
Seems not all due to sin,
Let’s pray our death brings pain’s curtailment.”

It was not a weather event,
there were no celebrities involved,
besides all our efforts were bent on saving the planet
from global change,
the environment; what's that?

No one mentioned the derailment.
No one knew about the 'controlled' burn,
the explosion, the toxic clouds,
the dead fish in the creek,
the consequences -
all the ticking timebombs.

No one thought to ask:
Hey guys are you okay?

Crickets chirped on....

To call her tall voice again,
ouch! she drove me crazy
My addiction to lonely couches
Uttering I love in remarkable sense-
In vain,
She sunk deep in her thoughts
Drawing near the deep thoughts
Against spirits of abstain
Christened by the dreams.
Bitter woes came as assassin
Persuading with smile in style-
the end destined in hearts'
As the nos got drained,
In a derailment chained-
As the slain mercy felt done
vanishing like the demons....

If there were a way
to make it all disappear
I would find a way to leave
But, alas, I can't stop
this speeding train
from imminent derailment
and I can't start to believe
in all those things 
others speak of
Hope, faith, unconditional love
If I could control this life
I would do just that
and would rise above
all this useless garbage
that doesn't matter
or mean a solitary thing to me
Its all for nothing
Just being wasted
so why can't I just be me?...
