Solitude

















Tried running away but caught midway
thrown aside, my pride pried away
swooped to take a flight, foot poised upright
thoughts ran riot but failed to connect.

Weird thoughts washed away the blocks
The brain stem cleared but still raw
felt the nerves starting to gnaw
a hunger tried to hacksaw.

Leave! don't meddle anymore
memories of you, I abhor.
Want to slip away to a world with you
where killing is not considered askew.

Come come I'm waiting for you,
with a gun, bullets loaded new.
If you like a dagger better than a bullet
let me know, I might consider.

Solitude is what I asked you to give
You agreed but started being restive
Let go! I will try not to dissect
though thoughts run riot.

  1. Very disconnected, this one. It is short-phrases put together like some salad.

    I am still reading this one.

  2. Oh! is that so? hmmm. may be the first stanza...

    I can never hate anyone the way it came out in this poetry. Hence it might look little forced :)

    Thank you AJ and I'm sort of addicted to your comments. More than that I have started to expect you to read mine first and comment.

  3. Hmm, read this several times. Firstly, this is very much unlike you. But, I appreciate experimentation.

    And, this is song-like. Nice!

    Well, having written all this, I reckon you could express it slightly better than it is. I mean, you could still keep that uncontrollable anger implied by the short-phrased, disconnected style.

    There are some obvious errors such as -

    "where killing not considered askew"

    where killing is not considered askew

    "Come come am waiting for you"

    Come come I'm waiting for you

    I think a few minor touch-ups without disrupting the mood of this song shall make it just fine.

    Sorry, you know me, I call a spade, a spade. Nevertheless, no offence meant.

  5. Hey Viji di,

    I liked this.

    I'll second what Ajey said. I too used to like this. Disconnected words, though I still make this mistake sometimes.

    The theme is real good. Can connect to it very well.

    Yes, a different one from your gem-pen.

    Thank You for sharing.

    -Rahul

  12. hi Sundar... "long tail" i can never up with such an apt word to describe him...
    as for the poem don't even search for an inner soul...not all my poems are autobiographical..
