I am not

I am not

A Poem by Gaurav
"

trying to find reason

"
I watched my name
being omitted,
as negligible drop of sea-water
came rushing on a sand..

My name is nothing
my fame is nothing,
nothing is my body
perhaps nothing is everything
'cause the universe was originated from nothing..

Eyes watch my life in vain
a sheer waste of human-resource,
corrupt mind cries for desires
and rot in hell of its own
mesmerized to lay on lazy bed...

Age excused to work less
more to surrender to leisure,
the God of worthless moments
and man of innumerable deaths
i am not because i never was..

Need is to jump in flames
when something will die officially
but truth might survive

Need is to look at me
without looking at mirror
that my eyes will see
me finally
and it may happen
that death converts me into a Human.

You write poems that really stand out
And the superb of all was
"and it may happen
that death converts me into a Human"

Thanks Emily.
Low regard for self, that is what I get from your beautiful poem. Your last lines remind me of 'dying before death', the collapsing of the ego and reaching the enlightened state, free of the conditioned mind.

Well done.

Thank you Anurag. Appreciate your review.
Cleverly thought through..."perhaps nothing is everything" - indeed, such a neutral state gives room for rebirth :)

Thanks Sansrity for the review.
Without Him we are nothing and I think you really encapsulate that thought in this poem. We were made of dust and will return, the point is to make the most of our time. Great poem and lots of rich language. Thanks for sharing. :)
