Kochi prem( new love)

This is a poem I wrote just now. Its purpose is to fill up my blog with comments of how bad I am at writing poems. There are 32 lines (my failed attempt to make it a sonnet !) its all about feelings and real emotions we feel when we really fall in love, not the showy “look-i-got-a-gf” kind of love, but the real deal. Don’t like crap at the beginning? Ok I’ll just shut up.





When your thoughts wander
And your heart skips a beat
When your ears stand out
In spite of the heat
When your head reels
And your doubts are resolved
Bliss! u say to yourself
Not knowing what it is.
Ur cell needs a recharge
Ur pocket too
But all u want to do
Is talk the night through
your mind is in “ happy “ mode
And u feel like god
Before even thinking
That u r mortal

u feel omnipotent
and everything is in control
at least in your dreams
woven with mirth’s strings
u write poems just to see
and convince yourself
that all this is free’
how foolish art thou !
to feel like this
not knowing when to strike
and when to relent
control ? it’s a forgotten word
topsy turvy is your world
yourself , are at bliss
on top of the topsy turvy world
At no cost will u miss.

To Anonymous, the line about the cell and the pocket makes the poem "down-to-earth", thus making it all the better.
To Diptyajit, The first stanza has more of the "rhyme and rhythm" than the second one.
