Straight from the Heart

Today I'm lonely and lost,
Willing to share my deepest thoughts.
Ones which haunt me day and night ,
And others which tell my inner plight.

They all revolve around one goal,
Mere thought of which blemishes my soul.
Five years, I've stored them in my heart,
But no more, Now I want to start.

The story is old, still untold,
Once lived a boy, whose manner was cold.
He lived in a world of alpha and pie,
And wished to scale the unfathomed sky.

The ambitions were high, it was a difficult terrain,
Had he not met her the morning, the sky did rain.
Beautiful she was, her eyes like sapphire
Oh! She could have set an ice-berg on fire.

No words were said, no notes exchanged,
Eyes did their work, tongue refrained,
Magic was working, encompassing them both,
Eros's craftsman, did swear an oath.

Feelings swelled inside his heart
Amused, he thought,if she was real or an art.
She made a move, her lips whispering,
And there he was, his soul was shivering.

Stars had blessed, love sparked
Now it was fate's time to march.
She was to leave in a short time,
He never believed, though she seemed fine.

The spell was broken, she was gone,
His heart shattered on thought of being alone.
Forced he was to live in the world of silly equations,
Logic ruled love in all those sessions.

Many years have past,many things have changed
Except that, the boy never complained.
Though faith was lost, still love survived
She mentored the change which everyone liked.

Awesome dude!! Classic work of poetry.I didnt know . I thought behind that country,childish minds you had such a deep thought process. Opening your blog through this poem is like a six on first ball and a goal in the first minute. But dont just get started with this :P

Immaculate usage of words!!! U've managed to succinctly encapsulate the beauty of the 'girl of your dreams' notwithstanding the briefness of your encounter.

Very nicely written. I didn't know that Tripathy's course brought out the poet in you. But it seems that it did. And a very fine on indeed. Keep up the penmanship.
