Teenage On A Wire Poem by Debayudh Chatterjee

Swinging left swinging right love is on my eyes
As worlds change, hard and strange, truths become lies
Srewed up fights and boozed out nights, a lonely cigarette
Bring me on a morning song, I wish to face my death

Love is blind and sways my mind over sarcasm, satire
Life is old; I’ve never told that my teen-age’s on a wire…

Image blasts and all my past blurs up like today
I’ve never known I’m overgrown amidst frolic play
Time swirls fast… and do my thirst bursts up like a bomb…?
I’ve seen you since… all thick-and-thins from my mother’s womb…

Dust buds fly and sways my mind over sarcasm, satire
Life is old; I’ve never told that my teen-age’s on a wire…

We all end and start again we all live for crime
Guitars strum but I’m too numb walking across time
They beat me up and fill my cup with poisons hard and strong
And but for life, I’m still alive… I stagger on and on…

Drenched in rain I’m all insane beaten black and blue…
Never the less…It’s my grace I’ve always lived for you…

Love is blind and sways my mind over sarcasm, satire
Life is old; I’ve never told that my teen-age’s on a wire…
