The Rhyme Of Life
Life is full of ups and downs…and poetry can be the best way of fathoming its true meaning.
What is life, a poetry?
An ode to oneself,
one lives as he writes,
unaware of the hidden rhymes.
A poem that sounds worthy
due to the wonderful medley of feelings,
blended with the melodrama
of paradoxes and double meanings.
One begins a verse not knowing,
what he will write next!
Yet some new hint,
crops up to fill the text.
One can rule his destiny,
if he knows to steer his boat,
to the new realms of ideas
with eyes fixed on his goal.
But chasing the horizon of life
like a fool, he forgets the theme;
& wanders away like an unanchored soul,
into the dungeons of anonymity.
Now, it may be dark
But the dawn is not far away.
The tunnels of life may be long
But they surely open to a new day.
So, isn’t life a poem?
There is nothing right or wrong!
The end is not the end,
the begin is not the beginning….!

i loved the use of simple words priyanka. just one thing i wish to mention, hope u wont mind this please….why write “he” everywhere in the poem, when “she” would not only have felt better, but i guess its appropriate too na? since u r a poetess….
a poem that unravels life candidly yet with unbelievable subtleity…lovely..enjoyed reading it…keep penning pri!!
very nice.. and sincere, and beautiful.. !!!! Great…!!!

Natesh Mahadevan the poem is an insight – maybe for oneself or mankind as a whole i dont know – and the flow of thought is quite direct too… but rhyming sometimes and then pointed offbeat…
