Perpetual

Looking back at moments past
like a stone on water already cast
no way to touch opportunities lost
no way to make it all last

we dont know what is in store
whether all is destined much before
or if its just another encore
of our past deeds and nothing more

each new day seems so old
its retelling a story already told
anxiety for new things to unfold
gutted like a fire out cold


new days but old battles we face
deja vu sets in place
even then we dont replace
whatever we did in the first case

reliving the same old stuff day in and out
knowing that it will end in a rout
no matter how many rounds are there in this bout
we go about the same way without doubt

do we change our ways even once
show that we are of some substance
but all our shouts are in absence
muted by fate's cruel silence

A nice piece.. Yes fate cannot be changed.

Remember once in IM you wrote a quote abt "Second Chance in Life". This poem also sounds like that.

Rhyming is good....
