I am not

trying to find reason

I watched my name

being omitted,

as negligible drop of sea-water

came rushing on a sand..

My name is nothing

my fame is nothing,

nothing is my body

perhaps nothing is everything

'cause the universe was originated from nothing..

Eyes watch my life in vain

a sheer waste of human-resource,

corrupt mind cries for desires

and rot in hell of its own

mesmerized to lay on lazy bed...

Age excused to work less

more to surrender to leisure,

the God of worthless moments

and man of innumerable deaths

i am not because i never was..

Need is to jump in flames

when something will die officially

but truth might survive

Need is to look at me

without looking at mirror

that my eyes will see

me finally

and it may happen

that death converts me into a Human.

For some reason, I feel like I could relate to this poem and I don't know why, but something stood out to me so very nice job

[Mary Christabel George]

And the superb of all was

that death converts me into a Human"

Thanks Emily.

[Philip Muls]

Low regard for self, that is what I get from your beautiful poem. Your last lines remind me of 'dying before death', the collapsing of the ego and reaching the enlightened state, free of the conditioned mind.

Well done.

So true... you depicted the reality of life beautifully with your words... yes life is what happens between our first and the last breath.... good one ....

[Gaurav]

Thank you Anurag. Appreciate your review.

Cleverly thought through..."perhaps nothing is everything" - indeed, such a neutral state gives room for rebirth :)

[Gaurav]

A sentimental view from the perspective of the old..harsh realiry nicely put in words. I like the flow of words as the poem proceeds..good job!

[Gaurav]

Without Him we are nothing and I think you really encapsulate that thought in this poem. We were made of dust and will return, the point is to make the most of our time. Great poem and lots of rich language. Thanks for sharing. :)
