For once the eager lover <br />Affected to offer his best <br />And lo, there he is… <br /> <br />Crushed under shame! <br /> <br />The teenager ran <br />With the moving bus <br />To show her his 'worth' <br /> <br />There he is in a pool! <br /> <br />The young son blushed <br />When the father tried to know <br />The father smiled <br /> <br />The girl left the town! <br /> <br />I saw real fear in the eyes <br />Of a woman pregnant <br />While crossing the road <br /> <br />Her hands carefully clutched at her belly! <br /> <br />The young bride in smiles <br />Her eyes eager with expectation <br />Tears smudged her cheeks <br /> <br />For parents she would never see! <br /> <br />An infant cries and cries <br />Mother’s sterile pathetic breasts <br />There another mother, breasts oozing <br /> <br />No infant to warm her heart! <br /> <br />For one last time <br />I played the match <br />Of my life… <br /> <br />And simply lost it! <br /> <br />Several pages of life <br />Each intriguing and interesting <br />Not so easy to turn any page <br /> <br />The book burdens the elbow! <br /> <br />04oct2010 <br />23.01hrs<br /><br />indira babbellapati<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/from-random-pages/
