Short Unachieved Poems

Uninspired
          Undesired
           Unadmired
Unstable, unable, unemployed
   Unbelieved, unbelieving
   Unachieved, unachieving
     All this - Undisputed
     But was he Unhappy?
   Now that he's no longer
          Unknown?...

I close my eyes to old ends and open my heart to new beginnings;
For beginning is the most important part of any work.
I struggle, persevere, toil and wrestle,
I spare no effort to achieve the unachieved,
To reach greater heights and new destinations,
For I believe, that life begins at the end of our comfort zone....

Uniformly swings
the hypocrite
as though on a pendulum,
to and fro,
the string of foul aim
transporting him.
With every swing
ever so timely,
a breadth of chaos unleashed.
The intent periodically he seeks -
the equilibrium unachieved. 
For experiments his fate,
as body and heart wholly 
of stone go
to and fro,
to and fro,
casting a million hates....

When it's your hand which starts trembling,
And it's your brow which starts sweating,
When all of the strength in your feet is waning,
And all of the sudden your legs start shivering.

When all of them watch you closely,
Your every move they notice intently,
Then is your world and that one opportunity,
There's nothing left unachieved beyond that anxiety....

I wonder when I die will,
Dove’s perch themselves on my dusk casket and sing for me.
Or if your shadows will be, 
Masked in false smiles or false tears.
As I lay motionless,
In the box that will caress me into the soil.
I wonder when I die will,
Dove’s perch themselves on my dusk casket and sing for me.
Or will they fly away with my unachieved dreams.
Attached to their legs....

There exists a trickle of sadness at the back of my mind
It reminds me of ,
A broken heart not yet healed,
Of unachieved ambitions
And unheard expressions of love that got lost in silence
It permeates throughout my mind and body like a rapid wild fire consuming all in its path
Strangely in the midst of all this chaos it grants me an unexpected peace
One that has selfishly allowed me to loose myself in its dark solitude...

Listen
 strain your ear
when neither wind nor traffic break the quiet,
 there is a silence pounding in the heart
 calling out a hush below a whisper;
there in the depths of every beating heart
 lay some dream waiting, unachieved,
 some memory aching to resurface
all you need do
 is push away that veil of noise
 the endless chatter gnawing at the world;
leave it all behind in the falling quiet
 and listen in silence.
