Escape - 2

This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 10; the tenth edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton.




Sometimes in the duel of love, Heart gets overwhelmed by the Brain
It’s high time, it says, to move on; than wasting your time in vain
Better things are there in future; just don’t keep spoiling your chances
To keep intact a rotten tree; which has even shed its branches
Forget those smiles and the meanings, you used to make out of them
Someone never cared enough, you were alone steering that helm
Than sitting here and expecting that one last miracle will take place
To a new life, to a new dawn, you must get up and set your pace
Miss this one chance and you’ll end up sulking, over and over again
That gift of life that you possess, in this sorrow will just drain
Person to person it depends, how they get over this emotional fight
All one needs to do is, forget the past and set priorities right
The time has finally come to put to an end this Heart and Brain's strife
Time to ESCAPE from vortex of emotions to a new blissful life


As I escaped from becoming a Fool last time, I decided to compensate for it by Escaping twice this time. So here is my second entry for Blog-a-Ton 10. This is another ACROSTIC from my stable after my recent attempt, Religion. Though, this poem is pretty amateurish but was pretty difficult to write as here, rather than the first letter, the first words of each line form a message. So do not miss the message in red which is how I define Escape in this post. To know more about Acrostic and read my previous attempt, click here.
And yeah, if you haven't read my first entry for Blog-a-Ton 10 as yet, just click here. That's the real thing :)

It does not qualify for Blog-a-ton. The title is not Escape. :P

......
....
..

Blame it on my poor comprehending skills , i could nt get completely the summary of the post.....may be i didnt read it the way it has to be......
But yes,
your last line made all the difference and the impact....also, the line made from the words in red...

For me, it is a new type of presentation.....lemmi take the que from yoo

Vipul Grover said...

Well Mahesh, it simply talks about failed love and how the brain is now telling him/her to let go!!

Do try it out nd leave a link for me to read once u do :)

Vinay Leo R. said...

yes..very thought provoking post! :) well done Marshal! :)

Amity said...

So this is what you're telling me as in answer to my escape poem?

Very nice poetry...I was even thinking it is more of a sonnet than an acrostic! Because of the rhyme scheme,, aabbcc, etc...:)

"Sometimes it's better to forget someone than to miss that person all the time"...quite painful eh....:)

Yes, forget the past, set priorities right, and I agree with you!

Vipul Grover said...

@Leo.. thnx Leo, i js intndd it 2 b an entry for the sake of numbers; gud to hear tht its actually thought provoking :p

@Amity.. yeah, i jus love rhyming.. most of thm go aabb or abab :)
yeah, this emotional strife cn b pretty painful.. have been thr, have seen it :p

Sureindran said...

Just as good as your first one. Infact, I like this a little better!

Vipul Grover said...

Thnx Sureindran.. Keep reflecting :)

Chandni (Chanz) said...

I actually liked the concept... It was a nice way of explaining the concept..but frankly, I couldnt really understand... Maybe because I am not too good with poetry... maybe i'll read it again...

But I will surely research about Acrostic.. :)

Anonymous said...

This was worth reading. Simply food for thought. loved it. Glad I decided to participate .. learning and enjoying every bite ..delicious

Chatterbox said...

Very nice Vipul :)

Something different put in words in a very different from conventional poetry or acrostic in itself :)

Keep up the good work :D :D

Nachiketa said...

Lucy Fur said...

Hi Vipul, I have been reading your work for quite sometime now. Could I tempt you into considering a submission for a baby e-magazine called the survivor chronicles?The details can be found here.

http://feministjungle.blogspot.com/2010/05/call-for-submissions.html

The magazine is a celebration of art as a healing power. It dedicated to all those who have survived trauma of some kind.We would love to have a submission from you for our very first edition!If its not too much to ask, I was wondering if something could be run about it on blog a tonic.If this venture is successful it can actually touch lives!thank you!:)

T F Carthick said...

Nice poem. You managed the rhyme and ACROSTIC well without seeming deliberate and loosing track of meaning.

Vipul Grover said...
