Vagabond

A weary traveler

a vagabond,

a man with a 

heart of a gypsy 

and etched 

with a bohemian soul

 

I wandered 

nooks and corners of the world

flaunting my fears and anxiety

to someone anyone

who would just sit next to me

and spend those 

flickering golden 

moments of time

to melt and cover 

my tattered soul

 in the body

which is sublime

 

This unending quest

my parched self

has been wandering for eons

searching for that break

the humdrum of the moment

tipping off the sidewalk 

and the tenacity of life

holding my hands 

tightly with a sweaty palm

 

As I cross the roads

as my soul laments

drops are falling

and getting lost in that 

little box of tin

 

A twinkle in my bleared eyes

and an occasional 

gaze from the passerby

has hooked me to the 

life forever

 

I fight those cold 

souls stirring breeze

testing the tenacity of my puny life

 

The dissonance of the

walking footsteps

keep my marred soul alive

my epitaph is etched

on the corner of that lonely road

which lost its identity 

at the crossroads of life.

I’m a mother of a smart and energetic seven-year-old. I started expressing myself creatively since the last two years. Since then I have been continuously inspired by events in my life and around me which has helped me in penning my thoughts. I’m an avid reader, loves to sing, an ardent lover of poetry and sometimes can scribble few lines too. Loves to dance in the rain, have an undying love for nature, can watch the beautiful sunset for hours. Love to kiss and hug my loved ones. I have worked in the IT field for almost a decade as a manager, worked crazy hours and traveled around the world. In that busy schedule, I never got the time to creatively express my thoughts. Now every time I finish a poem, free verse anything it fills me with so much happiness and excitement and a feeling to have created something of my own. I’m planning to post at least one creation of mine weekly. Lastly, a million thanks to all who visit, like or follow my tiny bits of creation. Every time you do that, I get to know one more beautiful person in my life and get the chance to see their creation too.
