Our Lone Long Lives
Our lone long lives
dazzles in a glimpse
vanishing abruptly
in an eye's twinkle.
in a matter of tiny decades.
from our little lustre lense
we have sojourned well
adding little or no colours,
to already shimmering rainbow
Each new day,
enigma is born,
and confusions reigns.
mysteries sorounds us
like foes,
tickling in us many questions
for lesser days we see,
the more we become
and our journey threatens to end.
the moment we solve,
only one of this billion puzzle
Our lone long lives,
is a twig that craves to snap,
when curtains falls
and drama ensues.
amidst the excitement,
our body begins to fail,
when spinings begin
and grey beards appears
Today, we're seedlings
in the comfort of a finger
but tomorrow we're thrown
like little lambs
in the den of wolves
and our struggles are benign
till we give in
to the whims and caprices
of life's landlord
In awe we tour,
seeking what seeks not
to be found!
for the dreams we dream
are too trailblazing
for our fragile minds
the strides we take
are for giants to thread
but we only begin to know
when curtains falls
and our part is prematurely over
Our lone long lives
are but spiders trapped
in the hawk's claws
writhing for emancipation
but caught in a grasp
and one squeeze
we're snuffed out like a fire,
when the vexing wind,
comes in thrifty turbulence

I must admit I find reading poems a daunting task but I absolutely enjoyed reading this. I love how it explores every aspect of life and the various stages we go through. I believe most people can relate to it. Beautifully written.
Thanks a lot, lovely comment too, I feel that sometimes I need to write relatable poems
Very very nice poem. I like it...
Well I've been a poet for like 14 years now. I'm just not good at prose writing itself. Thanks for the comment
