The heart craves while the mind's dead

Posted: Jun 16, 2008 Mon 10:02 pm     Views: 272    Interacts: 12

The memory lane of my mind,

with all the extensions to eternity

is blocked by a variety of reasons,

and the gloom rules in its entirety.

Caught in the abyss, I grope for a clue

which could lead me at least to a glimpse;

a slightest of your smiles that you so lavishly

gave, or any of your tears; the little jewels

that I used to collect in my palm.

My woes it seems are willfully increased

by a contemptuous Fate, when it decided

to leave my heart untamed.

beautiful poem Aadil,

"My woes it seems are willfully increased

by a contemptuous Fate, when it decided

to leave my heart untamed. "

Nice!
Here the heart is dead while the mind craves... (or is active) :-)

Thanx ahmadi!

I'm happy that you've liked the peom especially its ending. The idea's new to me as well. Let's ponder it.
Thanx for your comment.

Awesome. I haven't come across the idea of fate taming one's heart before, so guess I'll need to mull over it a bit before I can actually grasp it. The Idea's a new one (at least to me) and the ending of this poem's a fine one. :)

Keep them coming.
