On a Friday afternoon

Hey people! I wore this poem in two parts – the first part in the afternoon and the second part in the evening after I got up from a very unsatisfying partial slumber! Anyways I am posting it and I am open to all your criticisms and comments (in fact I am looking forward to hearing it!)


I am writing to you,


Not to say,

The weather is beautiful,

I long to walk, anywhere far,

With you by my side,

Holding hands and leaving burdensome thoughts,

With their burdensome owners.


Not to say,

I love yesterday's moon,

Loved it so much that I think,

We should make it our home,

Whose surface has seen no blood or hate.


Not to say,

I detest whatever I see,

This great bazaar we call life,

Where even air has a price,

And everyone is yet another

Faceless mannequin, a product up for sale.


Not to say,

I hate fat faced men,

Who speak of chastity,

Sleeping with the devil behind closed doors.

I hate them as much as I love you.


But to say,

I love you,

to say the world is ugly,

but your beautiful,

more so than you know,

than you will ever know.



Yup it is lame but i gotta keep the blog alive!!!

Please comment! Cya :-)

I seriously think you should stop underestimating yourself. It doesn't look nice when you tell how lame your poem is. Let the reader's decide it and set your standards. Stop being a wimp :). I mean all of this in good spirit

Hai Siddu,

despite my poor reading skills, I would say it was good...

By the way, let the others decide what they make of your posts.

The poem is good but you are cribbing for attention by trying to underestimate yourself
