Never GoodBye
January 3, 2008
How the words escaped
the teeming mind
How the world seemed
to stop short in its
never ending journey
round and round
All because of
the qualms of parting
Fears looming large
Of deprivation
Of love, Of amity
Of solitude
Little does the
heart know that
Goodbye is a mirage
that ebbs away
leaving behind
The indelible,
The ever cherished,
The omnipresent,
Memories.
P.S.1 : Dedicated to Srivi 
Best Friends Forever.
Wherever you go
Together we shall stay
In our heart
In our Dreams
P.S.2 :My first attempt at poetry. Please forgive thee for any mistakes

I knew from the first two lines that it was meant for srivi. Difficult to part with long time friends. But as u keep on saying one must cherish the relationships. Good going.

In thy memories
I find solace
In my memories
I find you.
You were always
A part of my mind.
Once a part,
How can you depart?
Welcome to the unheralded poets club. There are never mistakes in poetry. If there is something that does not make sense, then it is profound. If it is wrong, then it is ahead of the times. There is nothing called mistakes in Poetry!!!

Hmm.. not bad for a first attempt. Honestly, myself I don’t prefer to read something that makes me think
and poetry is one of them. But this was easy going on my grey matter 
So I vote for this to be good-but can be better (as a sincere critic would do

I’m not a big poetry fan- mostly I think I’m jus not ‘deep enough’ to appreciate it.
But, I liked this line:
Goodbye is a mirage
that ebbs away
leaving behind
The indelible,
The ever cherished,
The omnipresent,
Memories.
Keep writing.

Dude loved the lines “How the world seemed to stop short in its never ending journey
round and round”.. with we people hardly realizing its just going round and round.. and fighti
And rightly said buddy the only fears which drives most of us is the fear of parting, deprivation etc.. fear of having to do something unfamiliar.. Unknown.. Unvisited..
And what a line on the “ Goddbye” thing. What a thought
“Goodbye is a mirage that ebbs away leaving behind The indelible,The ever cherished,The omnipresent,Memories.”
.. I got to bow to that.. Never heard anyone put it that way. What a line!!!
Awesome poem and an awesome dedication dude.. and there are no mistakes to ask any apology.. come on how can you make a mistake in anything on a Blog.. that is your ground.. your battle and you are always the sole winner … Noone even close..

A brilliant attempt at poetry. I am pretty sure all will agree that it has voiced the same feelings from within us about Srivi. It did for me at least. Thanks for writing such a great one.

Weightu!!!
its an ok poem.. its not as bad a debacle as my attempt at translating a tamil movie song..

Wonderful lines….esp the thought of “Goodbye” being a mirage…
Poetry is never correct/incorrect, neither are thoughts…that is why we use the term “opinion” to highlight the individual contribution underlying a concept. Everything lies in the interpretation, and we may look at the same thing differently… So, no “mistakes” when it comes to poetry…keep writing!
