Wandering stars

After this much road traveled together,

after we have reached here so slowly

let us decide to run away once more,

eloping from the eyes of the present

with nothing but the burnt ashes of past

left behind.

The house shall have no stain of life left,

a virgin with us already at distance.

The stretch of world we have not been yet

is seeing us with anticipation

and we shall fail each one of the hopes, bets;

we do not want to belong anymore.

Gripping and heartfelt. I'm already reading for the second time today. Love the imagery and my favorite line is "The stretch of world we have not been yet is seeing us with anticipation."
Thank you for sharing this in our group. I enjoyed it.

Rejuvenation; tossing the old for the new - even when the new IS the old. Words like these are what has earned you our admiration:

Walking with Poddar

Exciting to be so daring and throw caution and obligation of spirit and mind to the wind. Great vision of a journey about to be undertaken. No thought of obligation. Wonderful Poddar, have a great Sunday. Ellen B

very nice

Poddar,

I'm wondering if English is your second language. There's something new and fresh about your word combinations that suggests this. Either way, you are very talented.

Thank you for posting this to The Surreal Circus.

The yummy mobius loop of love. Just wood ants on the trail of life.

Fresh and fun my friend! Here's to a new year!

I like the way you describe the reality of making a change - it's never so easy as just running away - and when you leave, you bring the whole spirit with you - leaving nothing behind - still, it's exactly that stuff you bring with you that has to "turn over" like a car engine to get to the new place. Your poetry is gleaming, pal.
Alison H. Jan 18, 2009, 1:12pm EST
Wonderful. Sometimes we must burn our bridges.
Haim Kadman Jan 18, 2009, 2:16pm EST
Whether stars or vagabonds, it's hymn to freedom Poddar, thanks so much for the pleasure of reading it.
JoAnne D. Jan 18, 2009, 3:09pm EST
The search for a place to belong is sometimes never ending. Good read.
Teresa A. Jan 18, 2009, 3:23pm EST

Oue lives change. Some times we have to run away. Thank you nice poem
JustMe ~I'm happy to be~ Jan 18, 2009, 8:00pm EST
I love the idea of change, fresh starts and not fearing all that is yet to be known.
Sue T. Jan 18, 2009, 10:02pm EST

Erica Hidvegi Jan 18, 2009, 10:51pm EST
good take on letting go and that is probably the hardest thing to do when you truly loved, but honestly in the end have you really let it be gone when it was with you before you even realized its present maerialization ? Thank you poddar

You all know I hate generic comments, but I really do feel miserable. I have to pass things through moderate before it gets to full. I am sorry. Thank you for sharing this @ Art - Any Medium!
Elizabeth H. Jan 19, 2009, 1:01pm EST
Great job!
Carol P. Jan 19, 2009, 1:39pm EST
The best thing I have read in a long time. Great job.
Renee (Pres of Baby James Foundation) ~. Jan 19, 2009, 1:59pm EST
This is one of my favorites of yours. Wonderful job
William Dotani Jan 19, 2009, 2:46pm EST
The message this gives me is probably not what you meant. I see you looking at the period between middle aged and elderly and you saying expect things physically to fall apart. Then you imply, just ignore it and do what you want because you'll be dead soon.
William Dotani Jan 19, 2009, 2:47pm EST
I forgot to say the rhythm of your verse had a very nice flow.

no doubt, you're talented and Unique.
Dr. Erica Goodstone Jan 20, 2009, 10:50pm EST
That was great - and it really fits for me after spending the entire day watching the inauguration ceremonies.
