This is a poem that came out naturally one day and I felt it was good and decided to share it with you...

I hope you will like it...

The Drift

The drift in the wind was so uninspired,

Like the feeling of being endlessly tired,

Rushing through my mind totally acquired,

Challenging to seize me perspired,

Always did I thought, will I make it,

Or in my efforts, unknowingly break it,

Can’t remember when did, last time I saw it,

Or in simple tomfoolery, bestow it,

My Longing for love was so much insane,

That I, unnoticed went through, all the pain,

I feared that my efforts will all go in vain,

But then in my life, arrived the monsoon rain,

The dents in my memories, I always tried to repair,

For any unexpected turbulence, I always prepare,

It was magic or madness I don’t know, I am all tired,

The drift in the wind was so uninspired,

Like the feeling of being endlessly tired,

The first time I saw her, I decided not to speak,

Bu her mere sight made me so terribly weak,

Sometimes I remember, when I was at my peak,

“Love” came and went by as humans had a beak,

At that time I was, such an Introvert,

That people who spoke out, I called them pervert,

Now I realised, my mind was invert,

I refused people as if I was the duke of Dilbert,

Then came the time when I was no longer a nerd,

I joined the so called “cool guys” and entered the herd,

I met her then, in that college like desert,

She flew free and confident, just like a bird,

My days afterwards, passed like minutes,

The time we spent together, cannot have any repeats,

The smile she gave me was so inviting,

The thought of being with her was so exciting,

The magic of those two years, I am unable to explain,

I wish it could come back like stanzas in refrain,

Time passed by as I joined the world,

My mind started to complicate and my hair got curled,

The job I took up was exaggerating,

The energy it took out was excruciating,

The time I could give her was ever minimizing,

The distance between us was ever maximizing,

After some months, my lack of time was inquired,

And the drift in the wind got so uninspired,

That I could not tell her that it was only her whom I required,

The thought of losing her made me perspired,

But my ego stood in between, transpired,

Heart took over and ego fell apart,

We collapsed in each other’s arms and promised we’ll never be apart,

Everything became normal and our lives did too,

The euphoria in our relationship made the wind blew,

With the blessings of our elders, we got married,

And I promised her, she would be, with love, always be carried,

The differences between us just vanished,

That moment, timelessly, we cherished,

We came closer and could not have been closer than this,

How smooth was that beautiful, cool evening breeze,

All the distances midst our bodies evaded,

We got tired but restlessly persuaded,

We bonded and loved and saw the sun set,

I still remember the monsoon evening we got wet,

Every moment we cherished, holding each other,

It seemed as no force on this earth could make us bother,

The evening was set no one did smother,

What a beautiful time we had in that weather,

All that time now looks mystified,

The drift in the weather feels so unjustified,

Rushing in my mind, so intensified,

Slowly but unnoticed, the spark in our relationship started to die,

The evil birds in my brain, started to fly,

The steps in my mind began to get sly,

The smile on my face became a demonic wry,

I became ungrateful of what god gave me,

I started feeling, with this relationship, he enslaved me,

The corporate world effected and fell part did we,

The cavity in my life without her, then I could not see,

I wish if god will, sometime forgive me,

Time took over and situation worsened,

Our broken hearts just got a bit hardened,

Ultimately, she gave me a choice,

And instead of my love, I chose a Rolls Royce,

We separated, we inundated,

Our life became totally, captivated,

We both went our way,

And the through the paths were dust and hay,

I reached to the peak of my economical height,

Even in doing so, I had no delight,

Then I realised,

Everyone around me looked so fucked,

The life I chose, so awfully sucked,

The drift in my mind was so uninspired,

I was unable to understand, what I really required!!!!
