ME SANS MYSELF

There are times in life
when the chariot runs away
without any cause
leaving you all alone........


and the fleet passes by your side
with none to bother


'bout your presence
which was once benign


'bout your existence
which once drew an ovation

'bout da battle u fought
with all your valour

'bout da battle u lost.....
to none but to your soul


and
'bout the battle you never fought........
thou was the undisputed winner...


still u make an outcry to re-live your glory
and make fake promises
all to thyself.......

and then a time comes

when you lastly realise
that a battle once lost

cannot be fought again

but a soul which relives

can strive for life

can make an existence

can make the presence felt

can make heads turn

can defy all myths

and

can save a body from a battle called DEATH.....!!!!!!!

A melancholy note to the confrontations we are blessed with. Indeed a poignant ode but because I have loved life, I shall have no sorrow to die.
