Simile

The smile that never came to lips
Is like the candle that never got lit

The desire that never got fulfilled
Is like the child that never felt thrilled

The innocence that got defiled
Is like the bride that never walked the aisle

The effort that never saw success
Is like the traveler that never found his address

The appetite that has never been fed
Is like the poem that has never been read

The smile that came to the lips but made no one feel better...is like the poem that has never been understood...dear.

A 'simile' is a comparison between two things...thats what I am doing here. Trying to depict a feeling with something tangible.

It was one of those simple poem u write when u r bored with the haevy ideas...

I think I have come to right blog !

Man, you are so much like me in so many things. Your profile doesn't match mine but the writing style (adjectives) matches.

Your liking for ghazals ? Oh again. A few days back I posted a ghazal by Mehadi Hasan. :-)

Your poems ? very intriguing. Well, I also write poetry in Hindi & English but they are different.

Keep writing. I liked your blog.

Would love to see you on my blog and your views on my poems.

Below is my current url.
