Poem - Time to move on
Time to Move On - Anup R
It's time to put things in order
It's time to put people in their place
It's time for a new beginning
It's time to move on
Eyes - "don't cast a look a around
lest fond memories weaken my resolve"
Ears - "hear, but don't listen to goodbyes
lest tears flood my eyes"
Tongue - "don't say a word today
lest my voice betray the sorrow within"
Heart - "look only to the future that beckons
lest I'm swayed by the love I've known so far"
Its time to confront what I've known all along
Down here, nothing lasts forever
Not friendship ...
... Not even love
Dreams are pleasant ...
... but one can't live in a fantasy forever
So I'll heed the call of life,
Pack up my stuff...
.... and move on ....

This is the first time that I've not paid any attention to rhyme ... thanks for the inspiration ... C Addict! .... :)

this 1 was qyt an optimistic in a pessimistic kinda way actually...i mean u r hurt and disillusioned bt u r strong enuf to stand up agen and determined to move on,move ahead...and trying to rhyme,i think,puts constraints...there's a freedom in poems that dont rhyme and the free flow of thoughts become evident...good work;-)
Thanks a lot DEGal! ... that's exactly what I wanted to say... well said! .... and yes, trying to rhyme does put some constraints ... but don't u just luv a good poem that rhymes as well? :) .... thanks again!
both r different...there's a different beauty in both kinds of poems...I used to write rhyming poems qyt smtm back bt then my sis advised me to write without concentrating on rhyming and since then i luv writing like that...its not necessary to rhyme bt there must b a rythm...even wen words dt rhyme...thats wot makes a poem beautiful...thats wot i feel anyway!!!
I LIKE IT !!!
Really Well Written ... imma just copy it too ;p
Thank you for stopping by my blog. I admire your poetry you have true natural talent. I will continue to visit and explore your work.
In love and light,
Jocelyn
YAY!!!!!!! someone;s finally getting into the groove :) ..as for the poem itself its good! a clear development; of course the idea itself is one we all sympathise with- havin gone thru it ourselves; some more than once...nice work, buddy boy!
hmm....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
I agree with the first comment, this is like an omptimistic poem in a pessimistic point of view. Very nice! It sounds like there's hope, but there's still a battle going on.
Hope you're doing great. Take care and God bless!
@DEGal
"its not necessary to rhyme bt there must b a rythm..."

Very creative. I would describe the poem as bittersweet. And yes, that is a compliment. ;o)

Hi Amu, I missed u here ... :)
@CAddict
Right u are ... and there's no way I can despise u for that ... :)
@Elaine
Yup, will take ur advice ... I'll definitely try to take it easy next time ... but the problem is that I love falling in love ... guess I love the feeling of being in love too much .... so, even if I get hurt, in a crazy way, I feel it was worth it ... :)

Hey Guys, I'm not getting the time to post 2 the blog at all ... the 12 hr workdays are leaving me too drained for anything else ... Thursday is a Holiday! Yaay! :) God willing, I'll visit u all and probably post something here as well! On to Thursday then ... (I remember the good old school days when I used to have mini-school-weeks, with Thursdays and Sundays off ... those were gr8 days ... )
i used to have mid week breaks too...then came college with classes till and on saturday..bah...then work (double bah) and now at last! uni twice aweek only :d
that's good ... but how come don't work right now? Was it just like an internship or something (as part of the course)? ... anyway, it's good right now, eh? :)
