Life

by Amreen   Aug 14, 2011


How to describe this story to be,
How to describe life...
Many define it as a journey,
Many define it to be like music,
My perceptions define my life to be,
To be like a bunch of roses...
My blossoms mirth my way,
they shimmer in the eye of the viewer,
showcasing beauty in every way,
the fragrance light up my soul,
To be declared a winner...
Everyone eye my happiness,
who seems to eye my pain,
Do they realize that i possess sorrow,
beneath my flowery smile...
I fail to realize that,
they are a part of my life,
they protect me from,
the ones who wish to pluck my beauty,
my difficulties retain my vigor...
But,I wish I could be set free,
set free from all the worries,
I spend my time dreaming of my desires,
I forget that I need to live it the way it is...
Days pass by and I turn old,
my beauty seems to lose,
I wish I could have enjoyed a bit more,
I wish I could have lived...
But time is indeed harsh,
being defined to be punctual,
I lay sad,old and ugly,
my energy seems to drain...
I am weak now,
waiting for my doom,
but,I still remember
the beautiful memories of my beauty I possessed when I bloomed...

    The fragrance light up my soul,

    - fragrance lights up*

    Do they realize that i possess sorrow,

    - capital I - since you have every other one correct, I assume you just mistyped this one.

    This is such a beautiful poem, and expresses that point of life, and how we can so often miss it because we are waiting for something better, expecting something better, but not really appreciating what we have at the present, or we do not make more efforts to make it better than it is.

    I loved your opening list of the examples you used for life but none of them were the fit for your life, so you gave your own one then explained it. This was clever and I think it really makes an interesting opening to a poem.

    I liked the regretful tone in the end of the poem, I think it is this kind of tone which makes us ponder our life and not want to waste it or regret it like those older than us can often remind us of.

    Nicely penned.
