On the bridge with a beer...



The tear in the eyes,


walking in the rain,


the naked truth,


the barren pain!


The wounded road,


the dark sky,


the missing life,


the mystic cry!


No arms to hold,


no eyes to wait,


call it love,


or call it fate!


The cease of the time,


the silence of the breeze,


the lost destiny,


the killing freeze!


Faded apart,


with dirt and smear,


walking in the rain,


on the bridge with a beer…

the best thing i loved about the poem is its discrete property... the way u described it in bits leaving the visualization to the readers is wonderful ! :)

would wait for the next one !

btw try haiku .. i think u'll be good at it.

Thanks Mou! Will surely try your suggestion. :)

I generally close my poems with conclusion. This time left it open for the reader to conclude the way they want to :). After all we all behave differently to the same situation! :)
