A Sunny Morning (poem)


This poem was written during the latter part of 1994, during one of the peaks of disillusionment and disappointment. The poem implies that around this period, I thought that the answer to my problems was to be loved. Very naive, of course.


Amidst the chirping insects
I walked the sunny path
The wind above me whistled
Dropping leaves across the swath

The branches above waved at me
Happy, on that sunlit morn
Beneath the rustling canopy
A soul walked, sad and torn.

Inspite of the brightness of the sun
And the warmth it gave the earth
Inside my spirit, it was dark and cold.
I cursed the day of my birth.

Amidst the grass that rose from the earth
Amidst the birds that fly
Amidst a world of growing life
I prayed that I would die.

I tried to find some comfort
In the sound of the rustling leaves
I strained to hear the voice of God
Inside the whispering breeze.

Pain had suddenly siezed my heart
And my soliliquy is done
I cried. I died but still lived on
As someone unloved, and alone.

A Friend (poem)


This is just one of my old poems from my old site. If the date says January 1 regardless of the year, it means I don't remember what month or date I wrote it, except that it was made in that year.


A friend,
I am a friend,
I am always a friend,
I am always just a friend,
I am just a friend,
Just a friend,
A friend, . . .

. . . nothing more.
