My first poem


My soul is lost in your shadow

I am lost in darkness

It’s very scary


Far and far all is dark

Like some silent moonless night

All My expressions are gone

My voice too is lost in your noise



My self is ashamed of itself

My heart refuses to beat

My soul is scorched like

The Sand punished in desert heat



I am washed in this darkness

Like some nasty rootless weed

And my thoughts are numb too

Like an eternal dormant seed



No one can be seen, no one can be heard

For miles and miles, all my life

I have walked alone, hoping for a ray

But life had given less than it has taken away



My hands reach for yours

Knowing you were never there

But, I am a human too

With feelings to share

I too have a heart that wants to live

Share joy with love endless to give



All our vows turned futile

All the love is gone

I am reduced to nothing

Being trapped in your exile



Scars and marks say my story

That I am lost in darkness

It’s very scary.



(PS : This is my first attempt towards writing a poem. This is about domestic abuse.)

  9. hey, I hope this is fictional. The situation Sounds very bad.
    "Trapped in exile" sounds submissive and out of the question for today's woman.

  10. hii Abstract Scientist

    well, i am afraid this is not fictional..this poem is based on a a talk I once had had with a lady who was a victim of domestic violence. she suffers from cancer too :( and most surprisingly she is employed, (she is a teacher), independent BUT not empowered just like millions of other victims. situation in India is worse than what we just happen to see and hear.

  36. In the excitement of your first poem, i guess you forgot to give a title to it...or "my first poem" is itself the title? :) its like watching a movie without knowing the name - you've no idea what to expect...but for a first timer, this is not bad!

    ReplyDelete
  37. hii Mohan!

    heheh! yaa, i was very excited. Actually this poem is based on a victim of domestic abuse (a lady i know)and i tried to describe her mental state here, and forgot to name it!

    lets call its 'it is very scary'

    :)

  38. Is this really your first attempt? Unbelievable !

    The subject on which you wrote such a proficient poetry instantly caught my imagination. I can speak volumes on the subject myself but the way in which you expressed the feelings so delicately is awesome.
    Un said words! Nothing can beat them.

    The heart which feels more is capable of expressing more.

    “My hands reach for yours Knowing you were never there But, I am a human too With feelings to share I too have a heart that wants to live Share joy with love endless to give”- I find these lines very familiar.

    Sooner or later, Scars of the body will be gone but the lasting effect (marks) it leaves on the heart makes avant-garde Changes.
    I’m happy to meet such a wonderfully creative person in you now. Looking forward to read a lot real feelings depicted wonderfully on paper!

  40. Hello Asif

    thanks!

    I once had had a talk with a victim of domestic abuse, her condition was really miserable.
    Domestic violence is rampant but only a few extreme cases are reported. This is a very sad reality of our society.

    I loved ur comment :)
