SILHOUETTES OF A SAD HEART

the shadow proves the sunshine,they say
they say ,i will be there come what may
when i walk the lonely way
my soul yearns to decay

there aint anybody who walks the walk with you
they always promise big which never comes true
a sad heart sees no merry...no it wont.
too much is said about love,when you have nothing to count.


so i walk alone,nothing to fear,nothing to hide.
i hold tight the rope on a dreary cliff lest i slide...
please promise me that you wont give love another chance
i am sorry...i have promised myself that i wont fall for another trance.

they say,love is a shadow which gives life a new start
but how can i believe...when all i have is silhouettes of a sad heart.

when i wrote this melancholy filled lines,little did i realise how desponded i was in my life.when my friends who read this began to ask me why did i write something so dark and hopeless, i was perturbed...not by their concern,but by the sheer ignorance of my state of mind. i just shrugged and declared that i had to write this as i had an unexplicable burden in my heart then.they were not satisfied by my answer,they agreed nevertheless.
as i began to contemplate on the issue in my solitude...i realised that the protagonist in the material is uncertain of the consequences of life.he had a major life changing event which left him unstably circumspect,irrationally pessimistic about his course of life in general and his love life in particular.he is a loner who derives no pleasure in whims and fancies of life...a loner by choice.he is a person who has lost all in life and the all encompassing solace of love.he is heart broken and decides not to give love another chance to ramshackle his already destroyed life.yet, as the poem ends...he mellows down and asks how can he give life another chance when all he has is sadness and ultimate melancholy.he asks...he wants to know...is there a way out of his impending doom.is there a chance...a hope beyond all the sinister events which marked his life till then.
as they say, hope floats...our man just leaves the reader with the query which only time can answer.rest all can wait till then...
