Come in - HOPE .....
Ah! There you are
Hanging outside my window.
Come inside !
I shall treasure you in my eye.
Don't worry if you couldn't bring
the rainbow.A sincere smile
shall dazzle my day.
I don't need the tide filled oceans -
my paper boats can float
in small puddles too.
No No , someone misinformed you
about the size of my dreams.
Mine aren't too big
They don't go beyond
The mansions and yatchs.
Well - million dollar dreams are passe
So the billion came in .
You know I am a simple man
Check my facebook introduction
if you don't believe.
I tweet about my simplicity
when the hours bask in complexity.
You shall have a good time with me.
When the mirror cheats on me
I shall seek shelter in your eye.
When crossroads haunt me
I shall moor my boats on your shores.
When dreams are shattered
I shall sink in your depths
Only to come out
And dream again ....
a great write nikunj
"when the hours bask in complexity..." , "when the mirror cheats on me i shall seek shelter in your eye..." wonderful! of course the entire poem, not just these lines
this is a jewel - literally
Hey Niks! Nice work!!! The opening sets the tone - its playful but also deadly serious. You also make this poem modern - ie: the reference to Facebook. I agree with Ron - the turning is fantastic! You will hold hope close no matter what...and when the disappointment comes, you will survive and find hope again. Really great work - I love it :)
"When the mirror cheats on me / I shall seek shelter in your eye." This turning is got to be the greatest. Offer the world but settle for love. This tears pages out of books and throws them into the wind for the heart to carry away. And your closure here is just grand. That when the passion is thrown into the wind; you'll become the Phoenix to arise from the fire to dream again. I like this poem a lot. It says the dream is far more important than the outcome. The journey is the accounting and the destination doesn't matter. It all about the rainbow and not the pot of gold. Nice write. Out of the ashes the children arise. A poet friend//RH Peat
