I never wanted to be a poet <br />I dreamed to be a trail of starlight <br />looking at which <br />you would lose yourself <br />to spin yarns of fairy words. <br />I yearned to fall from the sky <br />as the dew <br />surrounded by the liquid darkness <br />that begets for you a new day. <br />I loved to be that southern breeze <br />that while kissing you <br />takes you to thoughts unheard of. <br />A patch of sun through your window <br />Moonbeam on your eyelids <br />to find you in deep dream <br />and all such things……. <br /> <br />I didn’t deserve all these glories… <br />I became a poet!<br /><br />Pradip Chattopadhyay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-became-a-poet/
