Humbled Dreams of a Distraught Dreamer!

I wish those smiles would last, I wish those joys would stay In the midst of a misty ocean, 
 Lies the frail spirit of dismay 

 Memoirs of a thankless life, Sets this wandering soul ablaze 
 Waiting for the sun to rise, 
 Hope lures the sense of redemption 

 Life seems to unfurl in this really funny manner, 
 Like a new chapter was written every page 
 To mock at our sense of judgment at each step, 
 And lead us to a whole new way   

 Striving for that one little thing from life, we all live, 
 something that someone else would easily acquire 

 And life smirks at us and takes that away, 
 Leaving us in this pain inducing solitude 

 Wisdom is all that pain gives but leaves a scar behind, 
 One that reminds us of how we were irreversibly ruffled 

 It's a blessing in disguise that these scars are invisible, 
 Because if they were visible, we'd all be so ugly! 

 Peace

This one's dedicated to one of the pictures of my friend Alok Jaiswal which prompted me to come up with a caption and the nothingness of the night and this worldly contemplations together reslulted in this poem! I do not wish to sleep tonight, for the stars outside shine so bright! Seeing the horizon light up the sky, with hazy dragons and little fireflies The heart plunges into deep thought Of this heart and those little battles it fought Times have gone when this heart felt sane The days of dancing in those lashing rains That warm smile at the descending of laughter Those little burst of joys my words were after Thinking about oblivion, bounded within rage Mind lost in wanderings, bloodshot eyes and this heart encaged In submission I've lost all my fears, my mind is running for the sky I stand in bliss rued by my ignorance, memories flash me by My life is a haven now, I see the lit horizon in sight Nothing matters anymore, wrong or right  Let me forget mys
