You
Fiction | November 3, 2008 | ShareIs it what you write,
Is it what you say
Is it in your eyes
Or your body that sways
Your hands want work
Your words a change
Your eyes speak love
But your body’s still in chains
You cannot find a key
The balm’s kept away
The blood is still pouring
Your wounds gnaw away
The tears start flowing
The hurt starts burning
The eyes are blinding
Your age is catching
The youth is lost
It will never come back
The hope has faded
The flickers are left
The sparks are enough
It lights another candle
The flame becomes stronger
And your will is back
I see the smiles you gave
The happiness you spread
Those eyes are still yours
Only your body came back.

Nicely crafted poem…. who , in your mind, is the protagonist of the poem?
i perceive ‘him’ or ‘it’ to be old age or perhaps an ageless old person ..
Thanks
i would go with ageless person … its about helplessness and then reviving out of it for the best …
fair enough
.. i didnt get the last two lines though..
” Those eyes are still yours
Only your body came back.”
does this mean ‘the end’ or may b death ?
no its not any end, rather coming back to what you were. i wrote it long back so im figuring some things out too
well i could explain or talk about it but will get tedious for u…
