The Spiderweb
As his mind weaves
A spiderweb on the wall
Of his heart
I silently watch
Bemused
Admiring the intricate web
So light
Beguiling in its softness
And watch the hovering bees
Slowly becoming a prisoner
Caught in its beauty
And
The spider mind
Already moved
To a new wall
To make
Its next masterpiece

well… the first two poems that I wrote were in english… i was in std 6th then… since then i never wrote anything…… फिर जब दुबारा कलम उठाई अभी एक दो वर्षों पहले तब वो हिंदी में चली…
though i have a poor eng vocabulary but still i will surely give it a try…
Its a good write, Something thats flown in from your hand on to paper, a quick write.
Other than having a deep meaning, the poem is free flowing set of lines.
Stars = 4
the sorrow n beauty of the poem are breath-taking……

yea i know.. xams on…..will get back as soon as they’re over…
What a nice way to put forth treachery in the form of sarcasm layered with poetic deviousness. Amazing way to express but can be
applied to all who has such devious minds….
LOVELY…

I am water
Sometimes solid...you can always depend on
Sometimes liquid...fits in anywhere
Sometimes vapor...ephemeral...I am there and then I am gone
Sometimes ice...but can be dissolved by fire
Sometimes swirling ....with passion
Sometimes tranquil ....with still desire
Always flowing....unaware of the destination
Sometimes vivid ....like blue sapphire
Always pure....see your reflection
Always rising ...wanting to go higher
