I want to realize every
sentiment the world has to offer me
The beauty of a new place in
its earthy nakedness
The complexities of nature in
its sensual wilderness
The inexplicable challenges
of motherhood
The allure of Faith and its
ambrosial food
I want to explore the
extremities of human emotions
The unreasonable anger
against a sinner’s sneering clout
The nagging soreness of
self-questioning, reaping a dangerous doubt
The unapologetic triumph over
it through striking artistry
The continual undying passion
in the pursuit of quality
I want just a whiff of what all is out there
The inanity of leading a life
in recklessness
The helplessness and
desperation in sickness
The paranoia of never finding
Love
The insecurities of my
shortcomings growing into a mangrove
I want to be able to say I’ve
experienced everything!
The burning shame in failure
that plunges me into an abyss
The unabashed pride in
meeting my luscious success
The nostalgia of past with
its many a flavored seasons
The excitement of future for
its numerous enigmatic reasons
I want to fight every inferior
feeling by living through them
The stings of jealousy
towards that prettier girl
The ghosts of depression leading
me into a downward whirl
The aches of uncertainty
before it clots me in its frost
The mazes of misery before I
completely get lost
I want to taste every
Infinitesimal feeling that is humanly possible
The pangs of estrangement
The pleasures of love in its
entanglement
The bitterness of loss
The sweetness of friendship
in it’s guiding ethos
I want to decipher every
heart beat of mine
The deep urge to hold someone
The strangling eagerness to
say I love you to ‘The One’
The delicious hope of
someone’s kiss
The impatience to fervently
hug someone and sink in it’s Bliss!
I want to live it all
Not a life in prison, in the
trappings of monotony’s pliers
But a life that shines
through the prism in countless colors
From life when I’m released,
from this world when I’m absolved
At The Gates of Heaven, I
want to say “I HAVE LIVED!”
I want to live it all

ReplyDeleteWhat stands out in this poem is the way you compare the emotions of a human to the beauty that a prism has to offer.
