Life Poem by Praveen Ranjan

Life

Rating: 5.0


Life
A bed of Roses
Thorns underneath
Roses bud and blossom
Thorns lying dormant
Roses wither and scatter
Thorns resurface on platter

Life
A series of happenings
Blank spaces, empty milestones
Perforated happiness
Disguised laughter
Brewing discontentment
Tranquil souls

Life
A sum of probability
A game of dice
Souls at stake
Floating dreams
Series of misses
Plethora of accomplices

Life
Constrained choices
strangled embracements
sum of parts
infinite void
winsome smile
pyrrhic victories
sad happiness

Life
constant wait
fulfilling disappointments
accumulated losses
invisible hand
thwarted temptations
salvaged souls

Life
appealing vices
fleeting friends
loyal enemies
contrived situations
stranger soulmates
complex simplicity

Life
living to die
perplexing wisdom
real mirages
true lies
half baked love

Life
continuous flow
flowing rhythm
organised chaos
chaotic Life
unifying chasm
divisive bonds
futile strength

Life
with all the above
enchanting enough
to live......
