It happens...

courtesy friends18.com

When you think you’re almost there,
at the very moment near the finishing line…
Someone goes past you, coming from nowhere!
...it happens…

When you know that you’ve done well,
and have given your best in every level…
Still, the outcome lets you down!
...it happens…

When you believe that it’s gonna be fine,
with utmost faith in yourself & almighty god…
Everything goes wrong in just matter of seconds!
...it happens…

When you see your life heading the right way,
with every bits & pieces in the right place…
You stumble and fall all the way down!
It happens…

When you are happy for all the good reasons,
not aware of what lies ahead across the lane…
Sadness replaces the smile with heavy tears!
It happens…

...

...

No matter what happens, it's just the matter of time,
the good things do come back...
Hopes may go down, dreams may shatter
It happens.. 
but only to make way for the new ones.



P.S: I know it's a bad poem... or may be it's not even a rhyme! it's just came out of my mind... have written here without working much on the 'rhyming' part of it.. just wanted to convey the message.. I hope that I was able to do that.. ..

    Hey Sunil, I think it’s beautiful and the words do convey their meaning.
    Life is fickle and we never know what will happen the next moment. So the best funda is just live the moment and forget about the past (you cannot change it) and future (you cannot predict it)

    I don't think it's a bad poem. It's an honest poem as you said it came out of your mind/heart.

    Life is the way you see it! :) The view is not a bad or sad one but a obvious one in certain ways. But then, there is always a silver lining at the end... see the brightest part, always! :)

    @Menachery - First of all, welcome to "From the eyes.." Thank you... And yeah, after those phase of life, believing there will be silve lining at the end is the toughest part.. But then, it will be there for sure.. might take some time to reach out....

The door opened. “Who is it?” he asked anxiously.   “Why are you not speaking… who are you, why have you tied me here… please don’t do anything to me, please...” he begged again. But the person who entered kept silent. ***** Arman, like the other day was on his way back to his house after work. He wanted to go home early for some personal work. So, he skipped the cab timing and went ahead. His house was situated in an interior place, passing through those lonely streets which normally are taken over by the street dogs at night. Even though it was just 8’o clock, there was nobody on the road. And then, he suddenly got a feeling as if someone is followi

Fading childhood...

It was 12’o clock when I woke up last Sunday (thanks to the night shift on Friday)and heard my wife already in the kitchen, may be preparing something for lunch. With great difficulty, I dragged myself out of the bed. My feet refused to stand on the floor, as the tiles were still cold. Sudden rush of blood started flowing throughout my body as I felt early morning fainting sensation, though I had slept for really long hours… I started cursing and blaming the night shift and the kind of work I have been doing in the last few days. Some sort of frustration and disgust had already started developing in my heart as I entered kitchen to see what my wifey had prepared for the lunch. When I was sipping tea with some wooziness in the balcony, I heard some strange music (or shall I say ‘noise’ of the drum). I was about to complain about that too, (as I was in a great mood of complaining about anything and everything) I was stuck by what was happening on the street! A small girl in her early chi

"Is it a dream or..." ... part1

After a long, hard day… all I wanted is a sound sleep. It was already 10PM and I had nothing to fill my tummy since lunch. I didn’t feel like preparing anything as I was too tired. However, my hungry stomach didn’t let me sleep. I strolled into the kitchen to see if there is anything. Then I quickly prepared omelet with those sleepy eyes. I was so hungry that, I stuffed it into my mouth, almost chocked myself in a hurry. Once I was satisfied, I went straight to the bed. I got sleep in no time… **** “Hi Sunil…” , an elegant lady stopped me with a smile. I had never seen her before. How does she know my name? “Hi…ah..”   I was about to say something before she cut me short. “ wondering who am I? well, you don’t know me Sunil. But I know everything about you.” Is it? And how is that, and why are you saying all this. Is this a trap or something? Where am I? I started wondering. “don’t think too much Sunil. I am your friend and I am not here to hurt you. And this is not a trap” she giggled
