Not Just Words

This is not a poem,
But a heart laid bare,
A soul in disarray,
A silent, desperate prayer.

Not just words on a page,
But a symphony of pain,
A life lived on a stage,
Where joy and sorrow reign.

Each line a whispered plea,
A tear that softly falls,
A yearning to be free,
To answer freedom’s calls.

The essence of my being,
A tapestry of strife,
Where dreams forever fleeing,
Define the course of life.

A madness deep inside,
A darkness I embrace,
Where reason cannot hide,
And tears I can’t erase.

A fire burns within,
A silent, anguished cry,
A love that’s lost, a sin,
As ashes softly lie.

A garland of the past,
Each bead a memory’s gleam,
A love that couldn’t last,
A forgotten, fading dream.

A mirror, cracked and flawed,
Reflecting all I’ve lost,
A soul forever gnawed,
By burdens and by frost.

A rhythm, deep and slow,
A song without a sound,
Where emotions overflow,
And wounds can’t be unbound.

This is not just a poem,
But a soul’s raw, honest plea,
A life that’s overcome,
By what fate meant to be.
(Vijay Verma)
