SORROW – MOST PRIVATE AFFAIR
SORROW – MOST PRIVATE AFFAIR
I am not complaining either
As you are not also
One that Liveth
He/She that Loveth
Has had his share of sorrow
The one that one shall not share
As deep in Heart its hidden
One would heck to know
Would want to measure
Could anyone find the device?
Of the sea of tears, pain and displeasure
You imagined it
You created it
You formed it
For the sake of Love
For the Heck of it
But dear Sorrow
Has been part of Life
Yes its been So
Who is going to Stop anyway
I know you Suffer
I know you are also Sorrowful
To share
You would not want
I would also not
We have kept the world out of it to reach
As everyone has this affair in Private
All only for themselves
Would not want to show the world
Living life’s journey
In their own Music
Let it go back in the muds
No bother it shall remain
In the sands of Time
Yes it is Your Private affair
Yes it is My Private affair

This is a lovely poem Shiva. But I feel it is only human to share ones sorrow to hide it away is to swallow it down and suffer silently when no true friend or or loved one would want that. Did I miss the point of your poetry?

All sorrows are privately kept by all.
They are neither hidden nor swallowed down.
How much so ever you try to share it, it cannot be fully shared. In the first place why should there be any sorrow a.t all if there were true friends and lovers. I think this is where you have missed.
It might also be so that from one angle a good hearted human would want to share happiness only. Instead of posing a sad face always.
Its Love love love.

Wow Shiva that gave me chills!! How beautifully expressed. The pictures are so thought-provoking on their own and your words really capture Sorrow. We all do experience sorrow in our own ways and it is comforting to have others there to help us thru but we have to come out the other side on our own, in our own time. I think this is one of your best poem’s yet!! It has so many layers, I keep reading it again and again and I just love it!!

It was so pleasant to receive you here after a long time.
I feel you never ever feel guilty about it. The burden part what you say is true and that is why we tend not to share it. I think how much so ever you download it on others you cannot do it fully as they also cannot receive it completely.
Only if you want it you can share it , if only you feel it shall lessen your agony. Or else as it is already private.
