Run Run Run


He wanted to Grow up - He started Running!
He was followed...
He wanted to chase dreams - He started Running!
He was followed....
He Screwed up - He started Running!
He was Followed...
He got Sad - He started Running!
He was followed...
He was Running...Running and Running!
He wasn't Followed.....

He walked the street...
He was followed - The Shadow
He started Running!
He was followed....
He stopped and broke the street Lamp...
He was Alone!
Welcome - called out darkness...
Now its just You....
You....
and..
Me....
He started Running.......

But we keep running..

Nicely narrated..

Take care

Still Searching said...

We're always running from either ourselves, loved ones or even strangers! Nice lines, reminded me a bit of Forrest Gump and how he keeps running, but one day suddenly stops... the stopping is more significant than the running...

But yeah I agree, its a lot like Run Lola Run too (read your comment)

Winged Fantasy said...

Nice. :-) You have put it well... There is this psychedelic quality about the running that u mentioned. Very Nice. :-)

I was reminded of something I had written long back about senseless running... here it is:

I run... fast...faster…and faster.
All around me the maddening crowd
Runs. All chasing but one,
The masked fellow – Success.
Pushing, pulling, tripping, they run.
There he falls! trampled,
He bleeds. Yet they run -
Merciless; unheeding; untouched.

I reflect
Success! have you seen him?
You? You there? No one.
He is but the glowing sun.
The closer you move, the farther it seems.
And finally you reach it.
But there you are -
Scorched; burnt; wounded.

Flee! oh man, flee.
There where the breeze blows gentle,
Where the tall sheesham dance happily,
Where the green meadows soothe your vision,
Where the yellow fields merry your heart,
Where the rustle of the fallen leaves
Sing a tune to your ears -
Melodious; charming; enchanting.

Flee! oh soul, flee.
There where the sun is not scorching,
Where it plays hide and seek
With its dear friend, the cloud.
Where the soft beams glide secretly
Through the crevice of the oak window,
And pat gently your eyelids. You wake -
Fresh; happy; pleased.

But what is this? A faint sound.
Is it a siren? Or the sigh of the numbers
Returning from their work’s monotony.
Tired, loathsome, their legs advance,
But their heart left way behind.
No I err. The sound is solemn.
It attracts and I follow-
Unthinking; mesmerized; hypnotized.

Can this be the source? the origin
Of that solemn, divine music?
This tattered carcass of man’s devotion?
This fallen roof, these stone walls
Smoothened by algae, and grass peeping out
Of every crevice. The naked faith stares
Through his dark, stony eyes -
Powerful; steady; penetrating.

The bells ring and I find,
My head bowed in reverence,
My hands joined in prayer,
And my heart-
Calm; peaceful; tranquil.

Anshul Agrawal said...

Brilliant Poem...

Actually all of us are always behind something or someone or we may be running from something or someone, so in short Run Run Run...

D said...

Great work! Remind me of Waiting for Godot. Yeah, we are running tirelessly. And that's life?

Lucifer said...

Samples? Hehe. There is one. And that is nineteen pages long and still going.

Really, believe me. I will bag the Mr.Boring title next time again.

Nabila Zehra Zaidi said...

Philosiphically, in darkness we all stand alone...even if there is anyone around us, we do not know because we can not see. We are scared and lonely...and no matter what...sad...lonely...chasing a dream...we are always running after something and we are followed by 'atleast' our shadow, if not other people :D
