All Glory is Fleeting

Having been a Superstar
Far out of reach from my competitors
While was fighting my war
Saw off all the opponents with fervour

I was the talk of the town
A sensational Victor, a Legend
Whoever fought me, went down
With insurmountable losses that wouldn’t mend

Game after game – I won
Cruising along, I feared none
Like a tall mountain that stood with pride
Glory was on my stride

Like the never-ending waves, I marched
Watching me unstoppable, my rivals parched
Precision and Perfection
Took me to new levels of elation

Millions of fans celebrated my victory
As I was creating history
Like the beaming sunlight that descends upon the earth
With some brilliant plays, I took away my fan’s breath

After few everlasting success
The winds seemed to recess
Age and injury took a toll
When the new players had a roll

Every game I lost gave me pain
And failures started to rain
The end of an era – some called
My ideas and execution flawed

All good things would come to an end
When I was no more able to bend
Young Sport stars became newsmakers
And they were game shakers

I had to give up someday
I have no future in the offing
Success is no more my way
And all glory is fleeting

The Poet in me

The habit of writing started for me sometime during early Jan 2007. I started getting to it for the sake of my friends. To be a stress buster and to do time pass, it all started. I chose Poems initially coz they could be written within 10 minutes and I felt them to consist of lots of values. I began to write about my friends and about work in IT. The response I got was good which made my involvement more in writing. Thus I began being a blogger and my first organization provided a perfect platform to showcase talents. The blogging space was most loved and most followed in a day by many new joiners like me. Although I didn't meet the characteristics required for a Blogger, I was there in that space admiring many of fellow writers like me, learning new things and making new friends online in that virtual space. My passion for poetry was ignited by the massive response I received for my variety of poems. Almost 75% of my writings were inclined towards poetry. I felt somehow expr...

When I was your Man !!

Image
Tonnes and Tonnes of love, I sprinkled When your mesmerising beauty twinkled With heart and soul, I loved Thought always about you, my beloved Our little meetings and chit-chats Turned our times cherished to memories The jokes we shared burned our fat We talked and talked a million stories Sometimes we took the long road and walked Quietly holding our hands locked In silence, we looked each other’s eyes Went in depth and explored the skies Occasionally we hummed few songs together Without worries, we danced like a free-flowing feather Went places and enjoyed nature Drenched in rain with no nomenclature As time passed, life took a turn And I was in a big need of money to earn Dejected from our relationship and moved on While you constantly tried to re-establish the connection, and stayed on I ignored you, serving you sleepless nights Kept you weeping all day with monstrous stress A greedy me engaged with you in silly fights Taki...
