My crush crushed with such knack!!

He knew some magic he knew some charm
Out of so many varied tricks he knew
My life's magician mastered this one too

He had a particular knack for this kind of cheat
No devil could replace him from the top seat
He showed such unmatchable skill for that feat

By the time i realized
my crush had shifted gears

My prolonged longings
had become ever flowing tears
All i was left with were
a baby and all the worldly fears


My mind refused to work
my heart still facing quiver
My feelings succumbed to death
my soul died of an unknown fever

Tears roll down my life
Emotions flood my world
Feelings long evaporated
leaving behind a life so curled

No one can find my trust now
none i believe anymore
You squeezed my sweetness
leaving behind a life so sore


Smiles faded
Heart shivered
Memories haunted
Happiness crumpled
Relationship cheated
Sentiments crushed
Thoughts troubled
Spirit dissolved
Tears befriend

Though a sad piece, but i am happy that i compiled this. Another of 3WW, the three words to be used were Crush, Knack and Varied.

You have not once moved an inch away from sadness. The sad feel remains throughout the piece. Good job!!! Keep writing!!!

susan said...

Am I noticing a pattern here? Wasn't your last piece about heartache? Should we be worried?

sudharm baxi said...

Nay susan,

Thanks for the concern..
These poems though come out of my heart but my mind rules in all of them, so no heartache; simply plain, neat poetry with a lot of sufferings but none personal :)

Thanks again!!

Hey Harsha,

Thanks for dropping by

Sadness actually widens the scope for the poet; just like a black background enhances the effects of brighter colors..

and i know you are a sadness lover too!! :)

when the musics over said...

From a musician's point of view, sadness is the power of the blues! There is an interesting narrowing architecture to this poem. I love the line "tears roll down my life"! Nicely done.

Winnie the poohi said...

Spontaneous flow! Keep it up :)

sudharm baxi said...

@Michael,
Completely agree with you..
The same goes for poets, narrators, actors and almost every artist.. Sadness portrayal has a wide spectrum to explore..

@Winnie the poohi,
Thanks for noticing..

Aisi Saza deti hawa, tanhaai bhi tanha nahi.
Neendien bhi ab sone gayi, raaton ko bhi parwaah nahi.....
