Estranged

Here's a follow up post on acrostics.

Emptiness threatens to turn all encompassing
Subservient as a means to the end
There's no love lost
Ripples of a love that has been lost
And to think someone said it's all fair
Now one should look to the future they say
Ghosts of the past haunt me every second
Endlessly I would rather die trying
Definitely preferable than being eaten up alive

@totti wth man, mebbe its a girl who works by someone's cafeteria, mebbe she has soft brown eyes, mebbe she gave up her dreams to marry a spy and settled for K 10 Nittany Garden's neighbor. Exit symetry time mate
So you can mebbe beleive its fiction :)

Casablanca said...

I echo Totti's question: Who is the dame who makes you wail dude? :D
I can venture some guesses... but I think its wise to be quiet right now. Anyway you know who my guess would be ;)

Nicely written. Will try myself sometime :)

Miss M said...

I loved this one! Really well-written! =)

Uh-huh...looks like more and more people are getting affected by the "love is in the air" syndrome! At least thats what it looks like after reading your post. ;)

Btw, your previous post was tooo cute! Really.

since the winter has set in, love seems to be in the air :) (which is good for ppl like me who are pagans of love)

totti said...

casa,rohan,pointy - i have left a draft on blogtale.let me know what you think :P

M (tread softly upon) said...

Isn't it better to have loved and then lost than never having loved? I absolutely adore pathos in poetry. Lovely work....

Casablanca said...

Totti, I like the draft! It gives a new direction, without being too specific. We likey!

Anonymous said...

Must say, its very well worded.

totti said...

did you check out the image also?it does'nt show up in the draft thing.but you can edit and it will show up.update and pass on the tag!!

I really dont know whether to thank Totti or Casablanca for starting a round of speculation on this dame in my life. But as you all know this is a world in which Totti can bowl a maiden over and drive around a Cata bus w/o a license, even pointy can churn out pj's by the dozen without getting lynched by an angry mob. So well in this world all of you are welcome to suit yourself with whatever makes you all happy :)

@casa Since you chose to conveniently ignore my reply to totti's comment I would like to echo the above lines and my reply to totti ;), Thnx for the compliments on the post.

@medha Thnx a lot, none of it concerns abt me being bitten with the love bug its just that I was working with a word like 'estranged'. And I shall be doing a sequel to the previous post thnx to all ur encouragement even though it may be few and far between ;)

@Swathi Its a hard bug to catch of hold of out here :), I'll wait for spring I guess

@M Thnx a lot and I totally agree with ur comment

@Aditi Thnx, glad u liked it

@totti Theblogtale blog is updated and fixed up with ur post and mine along with the pic

Madame Mahima said...

Casablanca said...

Thank me thank me. All felicitations this way, and all insults Totti's way :D

Jinguchakka said...

Buddy look at your previous posts. You are being romantic often these days!

janani said...

Hey this is lovely poetry!

M (tread softly upon) said...

Well whether you are in love or you just lost your love, you do bring it out well in your verse. I hope you stay inspired.

Rohan Kumar said...

@Mahima Just something I thinking abt, I aint depressed :) (hope thats proof enuff)

@Casablanca Totti tells me thats open for debate, the two can you can discuss the matter amongst yourelves

@Jinguchakka Nothing of the sort man, my last post was a post abt....... nothing and the one before that was abt me longing for home :)

@janani Thnx a lot

@M I wouldnt mind the former and as of now the latter isnt true but I shall stay inspired thnx to all your encouragement :)

Wanderlust said...

hi,this is my first time on your site and I truly loved the poem you wrote.estranged though one cannot be a complete stranger to one who once meant the world.so don't worry friend,let time take care of it all and keep up the good work!

Casablanca said...

Rohan Kumar said...
