DESTINATION UNEXPLAINED

Like a deep ocean just beside a sea shore

My life looks vast and deep with destiny yet far

The swirling waves make me twist, make me turn

My soul withers, feels shaken often

I swim cross the waves, looking far ahead where my destiny lies

The salty hits of every splash

Makes my eyes red and it often pains

Life never came with a regular taste

With every stroke I try crossing the ocean

Moving ahead with a painful body

I see coming close to the shore

With a long breath that my soul takes

I tiredly make an attempt for that last stroke

But its irony for what this journey goes through

Stronger than my strength

More powerful than these positive waves

Life’s underwater currents grab my soul

And just when I find myself close to my destiny

It pulls me back to the wild ocean

Pushes me inside, deep into its breathless level

I have been wheezing already

Been tired to bear no more

But not a heart to care

No loving eyes to see my state

I have been pushed forcefully, manipulatively

Just when a ray of hope came up

Made at attempt to dispel the darkness

The harsh ocean shadowed it all

Something as if has been snatched away from me

Making me believe it never was mine

And with those tired swollen eyes

The current pierces its pain within

And those emotions just don’t stop flowing

I am wet already, drenched with sorrows

I rise a little higher, above the sea level

Try looking at the peaceful shore

A destiny that I hoped would be mine

But fate seems to have written a different story

A little bit of light from the sunshine above

Well! It’s close to its horizon mow

Settling down and calling for the night

Those stars sprout out from no where

Sprinkling its reflection all over the ocean

With each wave that rises, falls back on that reflection

Scatters it all and the beautiful sight just vanishes somewhere

And there I lie witnessing all that’s happening

Nature taking its even course…

With such a nature of this deep ocean of my life

Where nothing settles for a while

Non stop flow of pains & agony

I am made to helplessly realize the bitter truth

The ocean of life has sheltered me within

Making home for me within the whirlpool of waves

The taste of salty water would turn into venom always

Making my soul bitter & poisonous to its core

Those piercing strong needles that pinch my heart

Would forever let the painful tears flow?

No matter how expert my strokes are

The currents would never let me get through this life

Floating inside such a painful heartless ocean

My every call goes un-heard

No one to listen no one to say a word

As if me living in the world of deaf & dumb

I take a deep breath and finally realize

The glimmer of the rising sun

Or the beauty of the moon above

The sparkle of stars in the sky

Or the vast sky over my head

Its beauty is nothing but a mere eye-wash

It’s all in the game of life

With every hope coming with a mask of disguise

And as I play like a player in this deep ocean

I taste the nectar of defeat each time

Rising high & coming back again from where I started

A start with no beginning

Just me and my soul struggling forever
