YOUR OPINION COUNTS
TELL US WHAT YOU THINK OF THE TEENAGER
“You can't write poetry on the computer.”
Quentin TarantinoSelect a Budding Poet (A - F)
Age 15, St Xavier's High School, Mumbai
Alone
Alone, alone, alone am I
I know alone I have to die
I wished for once you could be mine
I wished the sun of love could shine
I wished that you could see my pain
But every time I tried to try, there was only despair to gain…
You gave your heart to someone else
It's not me, in your heart who dwells
Left alone with your memories to give
Now I realize why should I live?
Your absence takes my breath away
Praying for death my soul quits staying
And now when my soul was ready to leave…
Mourning and sighing it still cannot believe that you left me completely shattered alone to die...
But I know the time has finally come to bid you the last goodbye…
I know that even after death my soul will not rest in peace.
I know that in my journey after death my soul will not be at ease
With my ears longing to hear your voice and eyes searching for you here and there
My heart sinking with every breath
I still can feel you everywhere...
Std IX A, St Angela Sophia Sr. Sec. School, Jaipur
Perishing soul
Lying in the ocean bed of blood,
Struggling to survive in the high tides of fear,
Obliged by myself to cease my glee,
And absorb the excruciating leer.
Endeavoring to hold blood in my fists,
But it's slipping from my hands just as water,
Writing down my last piece of words,
On the paper of blood for ever after.
Trying to swim across the ocean to the shore of peace,
But it's not letting me through this cyclonic flood,
Tears pouring from my eyes are pressurizing me,
Drowning me into the depths of doom of blood.
Shrieking, loathing, weeping through my burning throat,
Silently and slowly dying inside my heart,
Engrave my wings of freedom,
But rescue me from this demising path.
Feeling my touch for the last time,
Realizing my presence becoming numb,
Taking a deep breath, dived saying myself a goodbye worth,
Sinking, blood shedding my soul's birth.
De Nobili College, Pune
Come Back To Me
With those tears in my eyes
Adieu, I whisper in your ears
Amidst the moonlight
I think about you,only you.
And here i am with heavy heart
With my fingers crossed
With my eyes closed
Thinking of you.
The days we had spent together
The days of joy and pain
The days of friendship
The days of Love.
When I am sad
And all alone,all alone
You used to sit beside me
Hold my hand and console me.
You are the one
Who came into my dream
And murmured softly
"I love you."
My heart feels you are the one
Who stirred my heart
With feelings of love and passion
And made me feel worthy of love.
Come back,come back my heart begs
Without you,i have no reason
To live in this world
Come back to me.
Age 13, Delhi Public School, Kanpur
Friends
Friends are like shoes
Some fit and some are loose
Careful! Be careful
And then choose
'Cos its a difficult task to do.
The breathless task of choosing a friend
Like god's gift
Or a precious gem
But, how to live?
How to survive?
Without a friend,
How boring is life.
Age 15, St Francis De Sales, New Delhi
Smooth Sailing, Tough Roads
Smooth sailing, tough roads await me,
I step out in a world so new,
hope and desire in eyes you may see,
although I know, get to the shore, only a few.
Lonely, I stand, admist the crowd,
hopes and desires seeping out,
can hear my heart screem so loud,
this is what the world's about.
A bed of roses imagined I,
Sprinkled thorns life on the way,
Strangled depressed, hue and cry,
Dreams shattered here I lay.
Strange faces come and pass by,
Walking through ain't givin second glance.
Many a times i wonder why,
The world can't give me a single chance?
Hammered down in sorrow and pain,
Gather the peices of a broken heart,
Try to put myself up again,
Not so easy;itself an art.
With open arms stands tomorrow,
Pulls me back the painfull past,
Pushing me back in distress and sorrow,
How long do you think will present last?
Ode to you mother!
Morning star, to me you are,
Wake me up and shine you bright,
Put me up and boost my power,
Pettish I - if you're out of sight.
As strength of pillar by me you stand,
Pomandering my life - reeding my dreams,
Point to the zenith and hold my hand,
Am flying high to me it seems!
Ostracized when stand I weak,
Sugary sweet is the smile on your face,
Raise me up from being timid and meek,
Set me back on the world's pace.
Petrified by the dark,
Only can you dear mother,
Ignite in my heart a spark,
To start afresh, bright day another.
In your arms in middle of night,
Sing a lull by you for me,
Not a trace of vain fright,
Can you with me always be?
Preponderated you!
A known face in a strange crowd,
Or a ray of hope in the thick clouds of darkness,
Whenever a friend I try to define,
Thoughts of you occupy my mind.
Eerie moments, I turned up to you,
Tears in eyes and a saddened heart,
Held your hands-cried-the pain I blew,
You inspired me to make a new start.
Soul-sisters do we seem,
Happiness for you desire I.
Joy filled eyes and a spectacular beam,
Keep it alive- for me just try!
Care, warmth and a dip of love,
An ursine hug just for you,
Long live this friendship all above,
As such beautiful relations are just a few.
Age 18, Allahabad
Bury Me
Bury me deep inside your heart
And hide me in the dark
Don't let in the light
Never let me go hold me tight
Don't ever let me go away
Please be with me and stay
I went to be buried in your heart
Yet it's so dark
Even though you love to hate
I feel as if this is fate
Please make me only dream come true
I sleep in silence
I dream in darkness
Just hold me tight
Keep me away from the light
Bury me in the dark
Inside of your heart.
Age 15, St Fancis De Sales School, New Delhi
Forge Ahead
Gently the wind whispers in my ear
Tells me not to wait for a day, month or year
Varied colours the ocean of life shows
Walking forward as the desire in me grows
To test the bright sunshine
One day it will all be mine
To touch the sky as high
If not able,will again try
In the river let me flow
Come along and far lets go
Innocent flowers laugh as I walk ahead
Stop me if you can I said
Sampige, Mangalore
Someone
They call me mad
When I sit alone
But I am not sad
Cause I am thinking of someone
Who makes me glad.
They call me a fool
When I speak with none
But still I am cool
Cause I am thinking of the one
Who makes me someone.
They call me mule
When I go alone
But I never became pale
Cause I am searching for the one
Who teaches me to be on my own.
Age 14, St Mary's Convent, Nainital
A rare friend
Friends like you are rare,
I don't know why but I know it is fair.
People used to say I don't smile,
But my smile came when you entered my life.
Life was gloomy,
But you made it cherishable.
Time spent with you was wonderful,
Hope it remains the same in times of trouble.
Even though it is time to part friend,
But I'll never let your place be filled by any other friend.
People will come and go,
But you are the one I'll always know…
