The sun throws his
final rays,
Glorious specks of
gold,
Glistening on the lake.
Occasional boats pass
by
Disturbing the calm
waters.
The others tied to the
quay; rocking to and fro;
They would all night; until set free in the morning.
They would all night; until set free in the morning.
Beyond; the trees and
the mountains
Form a silhouette;
dark outlines, blurring details.
Are they sad? Seeing
the sun go down?
A
pup plays fetch; tail wiggling,
Jumping
into the lake with glee,
His
bum twitching and twerking,
As
his owner throws the big orange ball.
His
world so simple yet magical.
Night life starts along
the waterfront.
Food and drinks; in
abundance.
Friends sitting by the
edge, chatting.
Lovers cuddling and
stealing kisses.
Every few minutes; I
see the drama of the sun
Displaying an aura of
a master
Who has orchestrated the
evening
And now ready to
sleep.
I am here; in my own
world
Watch the scene;
sitting by myself.
Munching on tortillas;
3 of them with "no carne".
Why am I here; alone?
Should I've been with
my partner?
Holding hands while
watching the sunset together?
Should I've been with
friends?
Cheering up over
beer?
Why am I taking a
pleasure trip alone?
Sounds good...Personally,I am not much of a poetry man
ReplyDeleteThank you sir. Yeah; I know but thanks for still taking time to read my poems.
DeleteSuch a simple yet lovely writeup. And to answer it...maybe because it is sometimes pleasure only if its alone :)
ReplyDeleteOops...just realised it was a rhetorical question ! :P
Supriya,
Delete:-) Thank you. I wrote this as I was sitting by the lake by myself and watching things happening around :)
