Wish I Could Come With You! Poem by Geetha Jayakumar

Wish I Could Come With You!

Rating: 5.0


Wish I could sleep forever
Free from all pains and fears.
Life lost all it's charms and desires
Just tired of carrying heavy burden of tears.

What all sort of painful games life played.
Where my hands and mouth remain tied ever.
Still alive I am witnessing all these.
What for?
Where mind is set as battle field
Where heart is bleed and wounded everyday.
Each bricks of positivity
I try to built is broken into bits.
Each kindness is paid with a slap on face
Role of maid would have been better
As she has to play her role of an hour or two.

Tree look so beautiful from outside.
But deep, hollow, damn dead rotten from inside.
Can we tell...Is it alive or dead?

It's my last wish to travel with you my mom
If you leave, I will be left all alone.
Wish I could hold your hand and come along with you.
I feel so helpless,
I couldn't hold your hand when you called
Mom, how to let you know
My heart cries from inside,
Though never heard outside!

Mom I wish to travel with you
Call me into your last journey.
Don't leave me alone and go.
Don't leave me in this hell and go!
I am all alone!
I will be left all alone!

Wish I could turn everything and come with you!
Wish if Almighty fulfills at least my lonely and last wish!
Wish I could take a deep dive into the river.
And get washed away along the flooded river!
Wish I could! ! !

Wish I could come with you! ! !

A sad but heart touching poem. You wrote this is your imagination but the imagination always has something behind it. I have well wishes for you.Sahir Ludhhianvi wrote: - Zindigi jabr sahi zulm sahisam hi sahi- -Dil ki faryad sahi rooh ka matam hi sahi- -Humne har hal mein jeene ki qasam khai hay..

As a poem this is such a poignant expression of feelings and it has such high level of emotive intensity..... But if it is a real reflection of your present mental state, I feel let down! I love Geetha of the former kind.... with an attitude of 'what may come....... the courageous, cofident and unyieding type! Come on, cheer up! This is only a passing phase! I give you a 10

Mother is the last shelter. This poem reflects the painful life of a South Asian woman who after the whole fatigue of a day is not better than a maid. She, however, gets peace in the loving arms of her mother. When her mother is sick and she thinks her last shelter may be snatched from her, she desires to remain in the peaceful shelter and to accompany her the final eternal journey. Great and impressive.....10

Feeling of loneliness sometimes takes over and leaves no place for a positive feeling. It cannot spread any more and only way is to recede. Beautiful poem expressing deep feelings.
