POEMS (that i've been doing for the last few months)
all of these are true to me at some point in time
most still are
and i think some will stay true for a long time
i've been asking my dear deskmates keerthana and lavinya to give me intangible nouns to write poems on
pls rate!

the first one...
[no title]
I watch you
watching her
watching him
do you wish you were him?
with her?

I hope you'll think of me better
There's only one way to show you
I get ready to fall
To fly

You will know me in death
In the knowing that I'm gone
Hopefully then you will understand
Why I did this,
was because of you

Tomorrow's headlines are read
Sad isn't it? You'll know it then.
I'll go on watching you
watching her,
watching him.

the second one
[Pride]
Swelling within the heart
long tormented by failures
of the past
Standing tall
Tears silently forming

He mounts the stage
to tumultuous applause
Loudspeakers hail him
the best one of all

Out of the crowds
one shining face
of a mother smiling through her tears
proud of her son,
the years of toils
all worth that one moment
of joy

the third one...
[Vanity]
Hands dance across the face
pink cheeks and red lips
stand out strongly against
the pale white face

She examines critically the face in the mirror
With a flick of hair
leaves without the word

A young girl, hidden behind a mask of false beauty
Struggling for her identity
Resorts to covering her true self
to veil the natural youthfulness

Her face
testimony of her struggles
shades the world
from seeing below the surface

the fourth and last one i have picked to show...
[Envy]

An acid
eating away my emotions
Freezing the soul
turning it cold and hard

How would you feel?
Pining for something unattainable
unreachable
As if my hopeless dreaming could come true

I envy you
For your joy
For your ability to still laugh
For your smile

I hate you
I love you
I hate to love you

done done...
dont think that since they are true, they ALL apply to me
some are observances and some are the emo in me talking

bb for now
