The desert called Life

I sit alone just waiting and waiting
for an elusive morsel of Joy .
For a ray of light in my dreary Life,
so desolate and barren.
I wish I could give my Life some meaning.
I wish I could escape the tangles of sorrow.
Nothing to do, nothing to say.
No friend by my side, no hope of escape.
I live on and on, just praying and praying
For an exit from my prison-like Life.
But I know that prayers are just prayers
till they are answered by the Lord above.
So I continue my endless wait for some joy,
For some light in the darkness of my Life.
My fate is to live on and endure till the Lord
blesses me with an escape or with Death.

Success and failure

Success has many fathers
but failure is always
the illegitimate son.
Success is the smart
extrovert liked by everyone,
disliked by none.
Failure is the shy introvert
disliked by everybody,
liked by none.
Success is a nectar that is
the natural outcome of
hard work.
Failuer is a teacher who
teaches the way
to success.

The words came halting through

Impressed by the loquacity
of my partners I opened my
mouth to speak but the
words came halting through.
Their sagacity and wit
inspired me on but my
tongue refused to move.
I wished to put forth
my point of view but
their eloquence received
only my silent approval.
I attempted to put together
a few coherent words
but their length frightened
my vocal orifice and it denied
them exit.
Their conversation ended and
they dispersed.
I was left alone to mourn
my disabilities.
Thus,you dear friend,can easily
see I strained every sinew
to convey my view but the
words came halting through-the
last few oozings of lava
from a dead volcano.

Another boring day

Another boring weekend. I just wonder while watching the whole election drama whether we as voters have any realistic choices.
