Here are my few amateurish attempts at poetry. I wrote them way back in the winter of 2001. I know these are pretty ordinary and don’t hold any literary merit. But they express some of my emotions as well as my feelings for someone very special in my life, who is no more. So read them pals....

I WILL TRY

I wish I can fly

Like a bird in the blue sky

Trying to reach those twinkling stars

Never mind if they are so far

But still I’ll try

And fly very high

Until I die

I’ll try, I’ll try and I’ll try

LOST

Have you ever been lost

Have ever been left alone

In a place

Very much unknown

Where everyone is a stranger to you

And you are a stranger to them

You don’t know what to do

Where to go or what to say

You just close your eyes

And start to pray

But it all goes in vain

When nobody understands your pain

GOD’S BEST CREATION?

God made man

Man made gun

God gave us life

Man took it away with a knife

God made this earth

Man filled it with filth

So selfish is he

He won’t let the fellow animals live

He kills them, he burns them

And doesn’t even bother to think how it feels to them

THE OLD MAN AND ME

The old man and me

We were strange kind of company

Shopping together, walking together

Eating together, sleeping together

Laughing together and weeping together

The old man and me

We were a strange kind of company

We were the best of friends

We were the worst of foes

At times we swore not to stay together

But both could not live for long without the other

The old man and me

We were strange kind of company

(Miss you so bad my old man....)
