Do you call this a Poem?

Formatted Soul
By Formatted Soul

I am in a perfect state of ecstasy
Looking within, content with my self
For long I have been a captive
In my self-enforced detention

Let me fly without a string,
Like a broken kite without any direction
I started the flight without itinerary
Hoping to reach without any delay

Along the wind it took me,
To destinations I am not aware of
Flying high without any fear
Still gazing down makes me woozy

In the transit lounge of my life
I am having a date with my real self
Let me cover the entire voyage of life
Without being stripped searched of reality!

No he wrote it from others words. My words were names of people and place so he didn't accept them :(

FU is this dodi wrote from the words you gave?

Is it that more complicated it is to understand, more beautiful a poem is? All I understand FU's poem is that it is a sad one :-)

Blind faith keeps me moving on and on

Like anything human i wake at dawn

With dreams of a better and brighter place

The unending, never stopping, eternal rat race

I have no humility in showing my gains

I have been places and had may pains

But listen all ye people it is all a sham

all that gold and glitter loses its glam

They say charity shows your true soul around

I say its a stupid saying going round

I am an arrogant prick that most hate

But then i am the ruler of my own fate

I hope and dream as always i have been

Of a better tomorrow, till yet unseen

I will get there someday soon

Where the scotch is old and the women swoon.. :D

I drink my sorrow in tonight

I drink so i lose my sight

An arrow through the heart you shot

And since then its a cure i sought

The war raging in me is fierce and long

But i go along singing a song

A mask i put on like all around

I aim to fit in without a sound

A square peg in a round hole i feel i am

An elephant in a cabinet, but i dont give a damn

I have to keep that plastered smile on my face

And keep my crazy hidden never give it space

Someday i will get my free pass

I'll fly, i'll run and i'll finally dance

Wallpapered sunflower will turn bright and true

Someday i'll get what is rightfully my due

My views:

I am in a perfect state of ecstasy

Looking within, content with my self

For long I have been a captive

In my self-enforced detention

(Seems to speak about themself who knows he/she has potential, yet they underestimate themselves)

Let me fly without a string,

Like a broken kite without any direction

I started the flight without itinerary

Hoping to reach without any delay

(Something holds them back- be it family issues or love... which eventually controls their lives. They want to break away from the shackles of the known to elve into the mysterious unknown...)

Along the wind it took me,

To destinations I am not aware of

Flying high without any fear

Still gazing down makes me woozy

(Once detatched from all material things, life takes them on a journey which no book will ever tell. Paths are hard to walk, yet they enjoy the toughness of it because this is destiny..their destiny)

In the transit lounge of my life

I am having a date with my real self

Let me cover the entire voyage of life

Without being stripped searched of reality!

(They know that this is what they were wanting all this life- the unanswered prayer! The true self which not even a mirror could make you see- they are now living this life- YOU are now living this life)

Touching...Thanks for the reminder. :)

drmana

Looks like penned by someone going for vacation in long transit had nothing else to do and hence wrote it . Not bad though, but whether to call it a poem or something else??

By Rizks• 14 Jun 2010 09:46
Rizks

Soniya zi...as the owner of this theard finds my so sweet poem " Hijacking" so i have deleted it...:(

By Mehnis• 14 Jun 2010 09:46
Mehnis

Ha Ha remember the beautiful Doc angry as tempest yesterday?? Rizks cannot handle another one here!!!!!!!

By edifis• 14 Jun 2010 09:46

My explanation lacks artistic flair, unlike Menhis who is very lucid with his style of writing, like a poet himself. But mine is more pragmatic!@ may have been the actual feeling of the poet while he/she wrote it!

By soniya• 14 Jun 2010 09:44
soniya

Rizk has deleted his BEAUTIFUL POEM???

WHY WHY??

bolo bolo

I really enjoyed it.

By edifis• 14 Jun 2010 09:42

There is a subtle inner meaning to this also!

The poet wants to describe her feeling after she had an overdose of bhaang(cannabis) during the holy! She is oblivious to her earthly bindings and soaring high with her head touching the ceiling! With no attachments to any object or any being she thinks she has attained moksha, like Buddha on the path to slavation.

When her highness is so high on cannabis she obviously doesn't want anyone to bring her back to reality.

At the present moment she has no ambition, no goal infront of her and she is free to do whatsoeverrr!

And her touching the skies, when she looks down to her feet she feels dizzy! This feeling gives her some additional thrill too.

FS I would call this ''A sojourn called life''

By Formatted Soul• 14 Jun 2010 09:37

thanks for the title Soniya and flor..:)

Mehnis you interpreted it nicely in your own style..

Avvid...thx:)

Rizks I call it hijacking! grrr

By Mehnis• 14 Jun 2010 09:34
Mehnis

thank you Soniya but if you look at the words closely it describes why you are here in life::

''For long I have been a captive

In my self-enforced detention''

THis is the physical form of life--your choice of life or destiny or fate as you may see it::

''I started the flight without itinerary

Hoping to reach without any delay''

This is the unknown or unforseen fact of life in a physical form and the ultimate destination

''I am having a date with my real self''

This is after the transition or death.

By soniya• 14 Jun 2010 09:32
soniya

rizk,FS will eat u today if u will hijack her thread..lol

By avvid• 14 Jun 2010 09:28

But I do know that it is beautiful. Whether it's a poem or not no longer matters to me.

By Mehnis• 14 Jun 2010 09:27
Mehnis

Do you know that this is one of description of transition of life? the one the world calls death with morbid fear ?? It is actually the ecstacy of the freedom.

This poem is describing death but relative to life in physical form

By soniya• 14 Jun 2010 09:25
soniya

mehnis,u have done a quite beautiful explanation for the above poem..

By Mehnis• 14 Jun 2010 09:20
Mehnis

The exhilliration of soaring high over the mundane bonds of life, freedom from all that huge weights of expectations and the absolute delight to go forth in any direction or way. There is nothing more expected of you and nothing more to give. You are free

By soniya• 14 Jun 2010 09:17
