The Run

Life is all about being in the fast lane,
Running here, achieving that..like insane.
Always trying to be on the opportunity train.
Always remembering, "No gain, without any pain"

But where is the man, which parents visualized.
In this world of achievers, has he capsized?
Here every dream has a tag thats priced!
And to achieve, someone has to play the Christ!

But for whom he runs-
Their heart burns!
Waiting for their turn,
Of love and affection to churn!

Everyone around needs a dream life-
Putting themselves to the edge of a knife.
But what more we need something more to survive-
Love for family, and jolly friends are worth a strife!

Family and friends, are the assets for a man!
They shower love, giving the perfect tan.
Hold on to them as happily as you can!
Because when you wake up, dreams-out they ran!

So finally you have started writing for your self. Its a pleasure to see you molding the words,lovingly,that you hold so dear,instead of twisting them to you will, pruning them.
"Here every dream has a tag thats priced!
And to achieve, someone has to play the Christ!"
How true.....

Its very satisfying to witness u both as an author and a poet simultaneously.U have successfully crafted a very honest picture of a man as he craves his way from chilhood-adolesence-manhood...and the multiple choices that he makes in the journey called LIFE, or more evidently the prices he pays-"HERE EVERY DREAM HAS A TAG THATS PRICED"...a line thats my favourite from the best paragragh of the verse!!!

Looks like you have more readers than I do... I am so jealous. However, I know you deserve it, for you have been writing from much before than I started and you write what I can only dream - poetry.

Coming back to the post,you are getting your touch back!
