Take me higher

A Poem by Vivek Kumar

Is this world what I want? Or I need some place higher!

I am not smiling, I am not smiling for which I am pleased.
I am feeling my calm heart, which is really happy indeed.
Like a bird flying somewhere up high, not looking down… Just pacing up high,
Though it will come down, come down sometime
But it’s enjoying, the high flight away from the world, where it wishes to sublime.

Flapping it’s wing, in the tender fog… Heart rising up high.
It shall catch hold what did flew, the happiness it saw, for itself first time.
It looks down, on the pedestrians.
Mocking on their unlucky plight. The people who just stare at the happiness it is having.
Happiness of flying beyond corruption, to enjoy and be glee.
But how long will it last! For it will wish to rest.
It will wish to sleep, sleep in the warmth of the underworld.

And there shall be waiting, the piercing eyes of the world.
Asking what did you achieve… For you are the same in the moment of time.
Still looking high, high into the gloomy sunshine.
It will fly, it will fly up high… To find a place, a place where it shall be seen of not a comparison to the world.
But an individual, who wishes for something new. Something new to do… In this ironical world of thine.
I shall fly, I shall flutter heavy and high… For I shall never come back.
To even look down, look for you single sight.
I might miss this world, but I will be happy indeed.
With all the pain that I had, I the corner of my heart..
Locked… Locked for Noone to see… Not even me…. And not you my beloved, whom I wished to call me thine
