When emotions concealed, come out as tears
Captured is mind, silence resonates in ears
When lost is the strength, belief disappears
I throw out some words, and spit out my fears
When contentment is meager, too large is desire
When realities are too harsh, too ugly to admire
When hopes and dreams are shattered, words conspire
I scribble down my anger, to ignite a fire
When path is too tiring, and treacherous and long
When exhausted is body, too heavy to drag along
Then moments are critical, and demand you to be strong
It is when write, to sing a warrior’s song
When thrilled by success, my heart does prance
When enchanted is the mind, by its mighty expanse
When restless is soul; restless to advance
In those showers of joy, my pen too does dance
To spell out my agony, to celebrate delight
To embrace the darkness, to conjure the light
In moments of ecstasy, in moments of fright
Solely at heart’s call, fearless I write
That the powerful play goes on… and I… might just contribute a verse…

‘the dancing pen’ has done wonders this time.
I am spellbound,
with the joy I found-
On reading the lines
and between them too…
“To spell out my agony, to celebrate delight
To embrace the darkness, to conjure the light
In moments of ecstasy, in moments of fright
Solely at heart’s call, fearless I write”
The showstopper! the best!

With a heart full of gratitude and joy profound
I see smiling faces and delight around
Words of appreciation are diamonds shining bright
And for jewels of such beauty; fearless I write…
Thank you so much 🙂

I am tempted to pour out more of appreciation, to see some more stunning lines from u. 🙂
but I wont.
Some things should be preserved for “until we meet again” time. 🙂
October 19, 2013 at 10:52 pm
OK then…
Until we meet again 🙂
October 19, 2013 at 3:19 pm
I like the line “to spell out my agony”.

“When emotions concealed, come out as tears
Captured is mind, silence resonates in ears”
When heartache grows stronger, and no way out I find
Pain seems to swallow up in manners unkind
When memories of our past make their way to my mind
When visions become desires, leaving fears behind
“When hopes and dreams are shattered, words conspire
I scribble down my anger, to ignite a fire”
To compensate my helplessness, to pour out all my rage
I cut the ropes I am bound to, and bash walls of my cage
I empty those roaring waves on pieces of blank page
I become my own mentor, I become my trusted sage
“Then moments are critical, and demand you to be strong
It is when write, to sing a warrior’s song”
Already was, but I am all the more impressed by your poetry today. Beautiful words and powerful lines. Love the last stanza the most.

Wonderful additions…
“To compensate my helplessness, to pour out all my rage
I cut the ropes I am bound to, and bash walls of my cage
I empty those roaring waves on pieces of blank page
I become my own mentor, I become my trusted sage”
Loved it… Seemed more powerful than the original…
And… ‘Dhanyawaad’ for the appreciation 😛 🙂
Waise… Aaj tu bhi form mein hai 😉
October 20, 2013 at 2:53 pm
Glad you liked, but this in NO way is more powerful. Yours is original and yours is a masterpiece!
Dhanyawaad to you too. 😉

October 20, 2013 at 2:55 pm
Thank you Pamela. He says he hasn’t started but look at that line:
“That the powerful play goes on… and I… might just contribute a verse… ”
So I contributed just a verse for his powerful play. 😉 🙂
October 20, 2013 at 6:01 pm
Glad that you noticed the quote… I thought that it would just go unnoticed… One of my favorites from the movie…
The verse was a jewel in its own right 🙂
October 21, 2013 at 5:09 pm
Such things may never return unnoticed. 🙂
