Huddled around the tiny fire
of my longing
Always wanting to be somewhere
i am not
Loving with an incomprehensible
intensity
Falling in love at the drop
of a hat
Altering each poem a
hundred times
Carefully scanning my life
and the people
Making promises i do not
want to keep
Meeting people just to escape
from myself
Observing everyone and
being observed
Ushering my dreams out of the
window for a while.
I meet you a some festival.
You. With the same dreams,
longings and love.
We either recoil. Or fall in love.
Or both.
We e mail each other. And
one day you stop replying.
Maybe because i have no money
or i dont have a flat stomach
or you’re just bored.
I wouldn’t know.
Or maybe you’re throwing
your dreams out of the
window, too.
Rants. 
such a long life of smiling, crying, celebrating, sharing, moaning and praying for everyone else….
…and someday, you would just write for yourself.
This post is all about watching your heart in a mirror and telling it how beautifully it beats…still !
One of your best and the most honest efforts !!
Yeah someday i WILL write for myself.
Thank you Prashant!

Hmm. It always is tragic, if its about me.

Ya ya ya ya!
Its beautifully written…you can smile about that, release yourself from the self pity…you have a life to live and enjoy…we will certainly send our smiles and hugs yur way! But do not waste them, hug them close for they are from your friends who love and care about you! Grab a sunbeam and step out…share your radiance!
Thank you sooo much Wendell! You, are a sweetheart.
Much love to you, and hugs for making me smile!

I only read this today. I had just posted https://bennaga.wordpress.com/2012/09/22/a-path-with-heart/ which as good as any comment to your poem, I think.
Ah! All replies are kinda dry, compared to what you wrote Ben!
🙂
That’s why I took that path in my commenting.
