Round and round
Mentally unsound
On shaky ground
Insecurity abounds
The mind whirls
Emotion swirls
Dreams unwind
Destiny unkind
One hopes
To elope
But one is bound
To one’s ground
To escape this cage
Needs an adage
No need to cry
One is born to fly

Born to fly…these words seem to be entrenched in your heart. I like the positive note at the end of the poem.
Thanks! I think Jonathan Livingston Seagull might have something to do with it. Though I don’t own the book, it had an impact when I’d read it long time back…:-)
//One hopes
To elope
But one is bound

‘Rahiye ab aisi jagah chal kar jahan koi na ho,
Humsafar koi na ho aur humjaban koi na ho’.
Wah, wah! Kyaa baat hai!
I loved the last stanza. Oh and welcome to the flying club Mahendra
Thanks, Priyank!
Cool poem..hope amidst confusion
I think this is a very good poem, Mahendra. The rhythm, the sounds, the meaning are woven together masterfully.
BTW, I miss you.
Just a note to let you know I am still here, and reading. Look forward to reading your next one Mahendra.
Desh: Thanks!

Aikaterine: It gives me great happiness to know that you’re back. Hope you’re doing fine. More later.
A sweet, rather melancholic poem. Did you mean the soul’s passage as you mentioned ‘born to fly’?
Nice blog you have here
First time here.
I had my own interpretations of the poem (alright, who doesnt)
Blog rolling you.

Thanks, Vibushan! Of course, you are free to interpret!
