@ office !!

A few translucent blocks

The trapped bodies and their mighty souls

People move in blocks

And a glass separates lovers

That is me in that cabin

And I listen to music

The background score of my life

Baked clay

Its smell and harsh texture

Is all over my body

Cold heat sweat

And junctions of passion

Divisions on morals

And critics fucking the stories

I sit on all these

Or may be somewhere in between them

And emit that thing called vigor

My wife smiled at me, early this morn
She wanted to say something but I was gone
I forgot to say my good-byes too
All I could think was I have work to do!

Friends kept calling me over the phone
Someone got married, or had kids to grow
I murmured a reply or maybe two
All I could think was I have work to do!

Work often means prestige and fame
A new dignity added to your name
To care for the world, just doesnt do
When piled on your desk you have work to do

Then someday I when I will be gone
Nobody will have the time to mourn
My wife will have etched on my tomb
'Here rests the guy who had work to do'

I had to love your poem! I mean everybody writes about love,sorrow, pain separation.. to so beautifully put in to words everyday life and the frustrations which outline it.. is wonderful!!

glass seperates lovers...hmmm...an office romance brewing, or is it just the coffee!

Akshay said...

Hey Raghav
now that I think of it...it was probably lust....I'd fallen madly for this someone amazingly beautiful and attractive...damn...(this poem was probably written ...like an year ago at least..)....

Hi ,

I was reading ur blog posts and found some of them to be wow.. u write well.. Why don't you popularize it more.. ur posts on ur blog took my particular attention as some of them are interesting topics of mine too;

BTW I help out some ex-IIMA guys who with another batch mate run www.rambhai.com where you can post links to your most loved blog-posts. Rambhai was the chaiwala at IIMA and it is a site where users can themselves share links to blog posts etc and other can find and vote on them. The best make it to the homepage!

This way you can reach out to rambhai readers some of whom could become your ardent fans.. who knows.. :)

Cheers,
