I need a Bath
(written on 29th Aug,2009)
I'm thirsty.Utterly thirsty.
I feel dried.
Dehydrated.
Desiccated.
And all my cells
in the sensory nerves
are awaiting death
faded in gray!
as they are'nt drenched
with the shower of pain
for a pretty long time.
Yes,for a pretty long time
all I have is happiness
without cease.
No hate . No pain.
steady and calm.
rippleless.
Making me feel dirty
and drab
with the dust of bliss,
enough.
enough to force me wash
my me
in the shower of pain.
In the shower of pain
I would like to drain
my dust of bliss.
And then
I would like to bath
bare and free,
again
and again
to measure
the depth and spread
of pleasure that clouds my feel
without thrill
for a pretty spread of time.
Like a monotone.
Draggy and dull.
with me, regreting these days
without pain
and searching in vain
for a fountain or flow
that swarms or streams
rains of pain
to wet my cells
out and in.
And of course
I'll rejoice that rain
pouring pain;
because I know
Love Is Nothing
Without Pain.
LOL
I agree with you again mate... life is a drag lest there is pain...
:)
What....
Pritam, I would kill for a life without pain... I know in the absence of sadness we find life stagnant n at times boring.... But to endure the pain, that uncomfortable feeling, that suffering by will is beyond my understanding... Because its easy to invite pain that negative vibes... but to attract happiness is quite a task and once we get it Value it more than life...
These are just my thoughts though.... U might have ur own reasons to feel this way... But the poem is quite a write... Good work again... :)

Hi Priya,
Glad to know that you called it a good work.....thank u :) ..actually while writing this I just got bogged down with the thought that an always-happy-person will never feel the elegance of life.....He/she will not perhaps be a creative mind.....I dont really invite pain in my life like this :).....I too am afraid bathing in the pond of pain intensionally !!....But of course as U said , "I will kill for a life without pain ....".thank u again ...
