About Me....... a Picture...Imperfect...



Standing in front of mirror, I just gazed.
A figure so hazy around, I was completely dazed.
The paint so lost, the paper in shreds;
but still shinning golden frame.
I scratched my head & strolled for long
in my forgotten memory lanes.
I knew him damn! I know him yeah,
but can't recollect the name.
Do you know him; tell if you know me,
Come & bring me out of this puzzling pain.

I checked my eyes, have I lost my sight,
Turned back and saw lovely prizes won in life.

All over the wall, I saw the pictures of my friends,
The splendid years of life, with whom I had spend.
These wonderful pictures which I placed in costly frames,
They had faces that I can't remember, Oh! What a piteous shame.

These were the pictures of trust; they smiled at my every joke.
My broken dreams they shared, crying my tears as their own.
How easily but I let them go & was forced to live forlorn.
But that time thought, “Hey! On Earth wasn't I born alone?”
This mirror man! Wasn’t he companion of my fate?
See the irony now; I have messed up even his name.

I saw again the mirror; saw through the labyrinth of eyes,
They looked as mine, but damn! No higher the curtain rise.

Alas! So lost was I, in making my golden frame,
To place my picture in best, I bore so much pain.
The frame was gained & was prettiest of all,
But the person in my picture, how was he called?

So if about the man in mirror you have any lead,
Come and please tell the noun about me!!!!
