Can you hold your ground?- Megha Sood

Have you ever been scarred by the moonlight?

Have you ever been scared to death,

by your big dreams?

 

Have you ever been scratched

and clawed by the angels?

Ripping your soul apart

as your hope dangles.

 

Have you ever get burned by the holy water,

left writhing and seething in pain?

Have you ever been torched by love,

left burning and crushing your hopes in vain?

 

Have you ever been blinded by a rainbow,

and left in the dark to wander?

Have you ever been duped by the trust

of the people you encountered?

 

Have you ever been succumbed

by the fragrance of the rose?

Does the proximity of  someone

scrapes you a little more?

 

Does the calmness in the moment

drives you crazy?

Does the feel of dewdrops

blisters your skin easy?

 

Have you ever felt jaded by

the squeals and laughs of everyone around?

Do you still think

feeling like this,

you can hold your ground?

I’m an avid reader, loves to sing, an ardent lover of poetry and sometimes can scribble few lines too. Loves to dance in the rain, have an undying love for nature, can watch the beautiful sunset for hours. I have worked in the IT field for almost a decade as a manager, worked crazy hours and traveled around the world. In that busy schedule, I never got the time to creatively express my thoughts. Now every time I finish a poem, free verse anything it fills me with so much happiness and excitement and a feeling to have created something of my own.  I blog at Megha’s World – A potpourri of emotions.
