An insatiable moment...

Well...some more older stuff...I wrote this in 2001, 9 years back...phew!!! Insatiability is an inherent tendency in all of us...its so tough to get satisfied with a passing moment, but we cherish those moments when we didn't judge anyone or anything, just lived it!!! 

"an insatiable moment..."

Like as the rivers make towards the ocean,

Every second of time hasten to its end;

Many dreams fade to disgruntlement in Life's swift motion,

And the present transits to past against thy intend.

Every next moment seems a new beginning with a mutation,

You feel something's lost in a nick of time, tasks went undone-

Mind searches a state without perturbation,

And it goes insane on finding none.

Restrain from dreaming, fear a risk,

Shun flying, past rendered a broken wing;

Arduous life leaves you slow when you want to be brisk,

When of a losing dynasty you seem to be the helpless King.

You want to win but think you'd flunk,

You seek love but feared a shattered heart-

You want to cross the sea but foresee your ship, sunk,

Anticipating ends you don't even start.

When you only see the setting sun and the night,

When you are entrapped in an unforgiving fire;

When you are left with no zing to fight,

You have lived an unsatisfied moment with an insatiable desire.

Obscure night would end, sun will rise to a new day,

Forget that moment; it was to divagate thee-

Break free from pessimism; adopt a new thinking way,

Dream, love and set your ship on every sea!
