Obligations turn me anxious, I give birth to trepidations, Life needs some meditation, But is there... Expand

Ekta,

Have been missin your posts :)

Like it a lot, very real...thats the world out there and in there too. ah !

Written very well.

Obligatory streets , noisy crowds,
Filaments of misjudgments,
Screams of blasphemy,
In the name of prosperity and polygamy.

Obsessions of self-pride,
Hallucinations of disguise,

Hi Ekta,
Simply loved the lilt in your poem...it was most profound and so typical of today's scenario...yeah each one of us should strive in our own li'l way to make this world a better place cos 'We Are the World' and let's hum the tune together...
Fond rgds,
Sharmeela (Shams)

You, Me and worldly melancholy. The title says it all. Very profound. I’m not a poetry person but nonetheless I connect with it... Cheers! Good work girl  As we grow up we realize that there is a miasma of melancholy surrounding our lives. The real world beats and crashes around this exclusivist island. You and me, me and you - learn to live together.
