Poem by Deepti Gupta


Slipping Away

Why does happiness slip away
Why does joy elude me
Probably my heart is full of sin
It is full of passions
full of obsessions
It is stuffed with fears
It is full of futile desires
full of greed and jealousy
When there is
No free place, no space at all
how can happiness come & settle
in my heart, how can joy come
and embrace my heart !
I am the only reason of their slipping away
When the inner space is full of garbage
how can nice things come in
and occupy the inner me
I have to get my heart rid of all the filth
to make place for happiness
to welcome joy & peace
to store the tranquillity
Then, I hope they won’t slip away
When my innerself would store an ocean of
happiness, joy, peace and tranquillity !!

My poetic gift to my dear Agron Shele on the occasion of our grand cultural festival ‘Deepawali’….

Агрон Шеле  Остались там мои мечты”  Остались там мои мечты, где белый айсберг сияет в океане, где мысль летит за видимый предел, и приглашают в путь другие небеса. Остались там мои мечты, где аромат ночной и блещут звёзды в небе, … Continue reading →

If He Could Follow
(Roundel Poem)
 
If he could follow light in the tunnel,
Where darkness holds the key to his freedom,
Would he not so gather his courage spell,
If he could follow?
 
Or would he sit, be grumpy like a bum,
Not making any effort, no spinel,
Only fostering lame excuse with rum.
 
Freedom has its price, darkness must he quell,
And like Athena, be ready to drum
This fire of courage to whip Jezebel,
If he could follow.
