Reaching for the stars
English Poetry |
I stand here alone so high
On a night as dark as black
The stars shine above
And let out a twinkling call
They seem so near
And tantalizingly close
Within my reach
Although miles beyond
I instinctively try
To reach the stars
But I feel a rope
Has tied my hands
And there’s no one
But myself to blame
For I have made the rope
And I have tied the knot
Pramod,
“For I have made the rope
And I have tied the knot” – made the rope as well as tied the knot – very expressive of a sense of regret, missed chances.
