    Pain of a Precious Gold

    English Poetry published on April 30, 2018 by Anjana

    Excerpt: One fine day he found out a trendy ,neoteric and a novel jewel, And that was the time he realise that the jewel with him lost its beauty and charm,

    Every evenings she walk along with just herself

    Chatter with her or laugh with her,

    sometimes weep with her, and even quarrel with her.

    But the most important thing is

    it is the only time she will be herself totally

    At times she saw flashback of her life.

    Cherishes the beautiful memories of her life

    She laments at her unfulfilled dreams.

    Laugh like a stupid for the things she had cried in past

    And burst out into tears for the moments she missed.

    She recall how she had forgot herself in between many roles

    Like an actress who act everywhere for no reason

    She , occasionally, feel alone in the midst of a crowd but never with her own company.

    She read somewhere

    “Befriend with oneself is the best way of avoiding loneliness”.

    She is literary living it

    She reminded how the ambiance of her home called her

    With a mother’s love, father’s care & sibling’s warmth.

    Now nobody is there to call her.

    Even if they are there she will get a refugee only for a few days.

    Then she will become nobody there , that was experience taught her.

    Soon will she go back to a home where she is everywhere but in reality nowhere.

    Everything but nothing precisely

    She sometimes remember how honest her better half was

    He promised to look after her like gold or gem (which one – she can’t strike the note exactly)

    He was right.

    He treated her like gold

    Which has no life and only useful either in

    Grand occasions or when there is an emergency

    She lives like a precious stone that see the outer world once in a blue moon

    Never he cared about the feelings of that precious stone

    Who is locked in a dark cupboard

    with all its beauty and quality

    which was fading away in futile

    It longed for a space more than that cupboard but nobody noticed

    One fine day he found out a trendy , neoteric and a novel jewel

    And that was the time he realise that

    the jewel with him lost its beauty and charm

    As like every legatee he decided to exchange

    His old jewels with the new one.

    He took the old jewel from the locker

    Which makes it super happy for a while

    As it get a chance to see the world.

    But happiness leads to a never ending misery

    As she comes to know that she is going to be replaced.

    How beautiful it would have been

    if God give us one more organ called filter

    To filter every unwanted miseries before it reaches

    To our head and heart, She thought.

    Then she felt pity for the new one

    which is going to experience the same plight

    she had gone through,

    But the shining of the new one on that particular day

    made the old one silent.

    All sorts of liberty that she desired once is owned by her now,

    Nobody to question and nobody is there to listen her answers

    But she is missing something that she can’t give a proper name.

    With that missing she bid good bye for the evening walk

    Looking forward to recollect the best memories for the following day’s walk.

    –END–
