They say
"Life is short"
I say,
Aye fools, Don't you know ?
what really counts,
is all the happiness beyond those years.
Leave no desire untouched,
Let no passion stay unconcerned,
for it is only you, that matters.
If life offers a chance, Take it,
Let it explore 'You'.
Exchange a shy glance,
Leave your fate, for once, to chance.
Let the summer breeze wash away the guilt and the
fears,
for, what really counts,
is all the happiness beyond those years.
PS -
Lately, Poems have been growing on me. Kindly do tell, how I fare ? And is
rhyming really all that important ? Because mine blatantly refuse to rhyme.
Wow! I was thinkig something so so so similar lines.
ReplyDeleteAlso, u r doing great with poems. And, rhyming makes a poem very lame! So, no.. it aint important at All :P :P <3
Nah. Rhyme is not always part of poetry, emotion matters too.. And you got a lot in this. Direct expression, and it says what it needs to say. Stop living your life thinking you'll die, and just live when you can.. because happiness doesn't need to end even after death. Nice poetry.
ReplyDeleteyour blog looks SO GORGEOUS !!
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with the whole layout, the awesometastic header, the pretty colors, the font, everything!
And this was a beautiful poem. I agree, it's the life in the years, not the years of life.

Nah, I don't think rhyming words are necessary. Its just to give poetry a catchy note. BTW, Nice poem ^_^
ReplyDeleteRhyming isn't very important. They aren't needed at all. I really liked this too :) You're poems are good, so do keep at them :)
ReplyDeleteYour poetry is not really in the same league as "John Keats", but its nice. Keep going.
ReplyDeleteBabe... It does not matter if you rhyme or not.. Your poems touch the heart...leave an impression and that's what counts :)
ReplyDeleteAnd this again is the best morning read..
P.S. Pretty blog :D ♥
Beautiful expressions. Especially loved the line "Leave your fate, for once, to chance."
ReplyDeleteNice work and flow of the poem is what matters and you are great at it :)
Rhyming is not necessary, at least in my opinion. To me, poetry is all about painting a subtle and yet striking picture of the subject with a few words.
ReplyDeleteAnd you succeed at doing the same. :)
A thought that is a part of every living human mind from the time the first one walked this planet ... how long, when .. we know not.
ReplyDeleteSo it's time to have fun, let others have fun and try to be of some use to others!
Good poem .. and you don't have to worry about rhyming lines.
For one its beautiful and the meaning is conveyed perfectly. I loved it :)
ReplyDeleteYEsssssssssss exactly my thoughts .. live as if today is last day , do what you want to do , what the heart desires .. who knows wat will happen tomorrow ..

A free flowing poem straight from your heart:))
ReplyDeletePoems and rhymes, I'll quote A Pope on this,
ReplyDelete"'Tis with our judgments as our watches, none
Go just alike, yet each believes his own.
In Poets as true Genius is but rare,
True Taste as seldom is the Critic's share;
Both must alike from Heav'n derive their light,
These born to judge, as well as those to write.
Let such teach others who themselves excel,
And censure freely who have written well;
Authors are partial to their wit, 'tis true,
But are not Critics to their judgment too?"
So, now you tell, how did you fare?
Cheers,
Blasphemous Aesthete
That's fine because you are good at poetry. Wow. I literally read it again and again. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I like how you convey so much in such short posts, really means a lot. You are a wonderful writer.

Beautiful poem with beautiful message :)...
ReplyDeleteLoved it! And there's no need for any rhyming when you can write as amazing as you did!
ReplyDeletelovely poem beautiful msg minus d rhyming :)
ReplyDeleteAs John Keats says,
ReplyDelete"Poetry should be great and unobtrusive, a thing which enters into one's soul, and does not startle it or amaze it with itself, but with its subject."
-Letter to John Hamilton Reynolds (Februrary 3, 1818).
Hence, I made my point. Nice.
Pretty one :) Beauty of your post lies in its simplicity and don't mind about the rhyming!
ReplyDeleteNice lines dear.. :)
ReplyDeletekeep writing...
Loved it!!
ReplyDeleteHappy poems make me happy! :)
Rhyming is not that important. I loved this short poem! Its just to pretty and so true!
ReplyDeleteI am writing a short online novel. Would love your feedback!
Before Snow Falls
wow lovely poem with a point.
ReplyDeletewww.rajnishonline.blogspot.co
That was a lovely cheery poem :):) And as for rhyming, I don't think it should be forcible. It is good if it rhymes, but then it's not that important. :)
ReplyDeletewat a beautiful poem :)
ReplyDeletePerfectly captures the breathless emotions. And yes, rhyming is no more a definite part of poetry !Free verses are common and they come to me easily too...:) I prefer them , anyday! Lovely piece...
ReplyDeletebeautiful poem!!!
ReplyDeleteloved it....
and yeah, beautiful blog too!!!!
keep penning..

suraj
nice one...
ReplyDeleteThis is as beautiful as it can be. rhyme isn't important as long as it touches a chord...and it touched many.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful start... well a lot of people may tell you that poems must rhyme, but it doesn't really has to... It's a necessary only if you are writing a song.
ReplyDeleteYou have started well, and should continue writing. There is a certain level of incoherence in your poem's meter, but don't think about it. It will improve as you continue writing. Also, try reading as many poems as you can, I recommend the Romantic Era...
Regards,
Narendra
Nice...fine attempt:)
ReplyDeleteRhyming isn't important at all. "beautiful poem" - keep blessing more..
ReplyDeleteAwesome
ReplyDeleteWhoa! I find that disclaimer (Mine just refuse to rhyme) below the poem, very catchy.
ReplyDeleteRhyme or no rhyme- they make sense in a positive way. And that matters.
This one's perfect dear. And I really dont see a need of rhymes in poems. You are doing a wonderful job!
