I am Nobody.

"I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough." ~ Nicholas Sparks from The Notebook.

I am Nobody.

I am a common man

and have had a common life

have had a little house

two children

have had a loving wife.

I am a common man

have had no meticulous thoughts

have had cup of tea each evening

not even dreamt of a rich wine glass.

I am a common man

no special have had ever treats

I am a common man

no knighthood, no wisely traits.

I am a common man

and have died now

no tombs will be there, raised

no stones at squares.

But I know somehow

that He is there

watching me

and simplicity He has praised.

My Sunset

Here it comes

the lonely dusk of

one like the other days.

far and far

there stretched are

silences' sways..

dust swings its calmly gown

as it smiles down the earth

warm air swirls and roasts my dry heart

in its invisible hearth

paints my self ,brown.

and makes myself still more lonely

towards the night so lovely

to all hail & hearty

sorrow on my part.

As I watch the setting sun

poets admire

the red ball of fire

drippling down the rippling waters of Ganga

I see the same reflected inside self

huge ball of ire

slipping down the throat of my Shelf.

I get up on the sands

ready to go back

I feel the last shines

of the Gobblet

setting behind the pines.

My footsteps dim

& the horizon darkens

muting all the rhymes.
