UNCERTAIN LIFE.



My life is like a gambling on terms and conditions,
Spend sometimes happily, sometimes emotionally.

Remembering day and night I walk on ,
Sometimes laughing, sometimes crying.

Crossing through the desert for water,
But life remains thirsty and  thirsty.
 
Climbed the mountain with high aspiration,
But I fell down empty and  empty.

I fell in love thinking about my beloved to be Radha,
But she keeps herself isolated and isolated.

I keep praying Lord Krishna for blessings,
But He keeps only cursing and cursing .

I gathered things thinking to be dimonds,
 But I collected a heap of stones and stones.

Whether keep my fists closed or opened,
But I have to rub hands at open end.

My life is like gambling,
Spend sometimes gladly and sometimes sadly.

About this poem

I penned down on emotions of mind which sometimes automatically strikes and compel to express. The life is full of ups and downs and we have to adjust with the different situations on the paths of life. We should experience gain and loss in life.

    I like this piece very much, especially the reiterations of words at the end of the lines. It makes the reader think more deeply about what is being said. Great job.
