I pick up
the few pieces of life
Remainder
got lost in time
Some were
full of laughter
Some were
full of sorrow
With these
in my pocket
I set out
For a new
game in crazyland
Some call it
a land of destiny
Some say
it’s full of freaks
But they do
not know yet
That I am a
juggler of loss
I juggle
loss in my hands
People clap
when they are amused
And leave
when the show’s over
The more I
make other’s laugh
More I get
imprisoned in the land of grief
Sometimes it
drags me
In the deep
potholes of sadness
And there’s
no coming back
So like all
others
I am here to
try my un-luck
Maybe it’ll
turn around
I walk up to
the entrance
A large
clown waits for me up there
Across the
dias he waits
He calls for
the ticket
I have none
There he
towers upon me
In his
attire of black and white
He represents
life
We all have
our whites and blacks
How magical
he looks
When he
shows me his
Enchanting
smile
He says’ “Welcome , Madame”
“ Enter here
to try your luck
Many a
people have walked past me
Some got
lucky . Some got failed.
Some got
light. Some got darkness.
Come and try
your luck.
Come with
nothing. Leave with abundance.
Live life
fully. Believe in yourself.
Attain the
highest pursuit of happiness.,
But there is
one thing you should always remember forever”
Me with just
a bag of knick-knacks
Asked, “What
should I remember?
O! Lord of
the mighty gates”
He said,
“such reverence is never heard of,
Behold, O
Traveller,
Be wary of
hypocrisy and wickedness
It’l try to
seize you
From right
and left and centre,
And when you
are not looking
It might
attack you from above
When
everything seems bright
It might
crack open a hole
Beware, O!
Stranger
They often
wander with the claims
Of a perfect
world, a perfect life
Don’t fall
in their traps
You may find
them
Luring you
with their honey laced promises
Going to the
moon, giving you glittering stars
They might
try to stray you from your path
But do not
lose your aim
Keep this
diktat in mind
Lo &
Behold you go
Go after
your destiny, wanderlust.
He opened
the majestic gates
A blinding
light flashed upon me
From hence I
could see none
