Thy name is human

Preparations finally over

The journey about to start

Given a half filled bottle of love

In the lone traveler’s heart

 

Marooned in a strange land

Memory wiped clean

Stood the confused traveler

The journey now begins!

 

It became stronger by days,

The dull craving in his heart

The urge to have his bottle filled

He began his quest for love

 

 He met some fellow travelers

A secret they told him

“Spread the love you have with you

You’ll realize your dream”

 

But the traveler still unsure

He kept his bottle closed

Afraid that he might run out of love

Chose not to take the path showed

 

With time passing by

He traveled far and wide

Seeking love and care

But clutching the bottle tight

 

Time flew by

The final moment arrived

The traveler now opened his bottle

And lo! it had dried

 

There was no love in his heart

Not a speck of it

He had lost it all...oh! the despair

Just running after it…

wow... that seemed like a the law of attractions's love subset personified as a poem..the use of allusions is cool....reminds me of hamaaar zammane ki 'potli baba ki' type analogies...
atleast i know 1 thing now.. if we get an abstract topic in gd... then mouli would be one of the firsts to find out what it alludes to.... :P

If I can retrench back d drops dried up or fallen down to refill bottle artificially,then it would fetch back d dried feelings of traveller!!"Coz journey is life & vice-versa!!

@ amul: am flattered...thanks...

@ anuj: well...since i wrote it, i can assure you there can be no artificial means...they are simply not allowed :P...
though i agree by the saying "journey is life & vice-versa"...but not in the above context...
