Dull New Place
A day so sweet,
But no friends to meet,
From dusk to dawn,
I remain playing with a pen and paper in my lawn.
No toys left to play,
No friends every single day,
Only a hope to be a star,
One who shines really, not in home and car.
Writing books is my aim,
For satisfaction, and only a bit of fame,
A television to watch, but what’s its use,
There are no friends to play a game.
A television to watch, but what’s its use,
There are no friends to play a game.
Two hours writing,
Two hours reading,
That’s what is left,
I remember and cry in the memory of those moments that were best.
No Rajveer, no Divyaraj,
Only I am left with the loneliness, Raj,
I have a bat and a ball, but now they are barely used,
For there is no one left to play; I am so amused!
A life too dull, I am not able to tolerate,
A place too new, my joy is what I can’t locate,
I pray to god, if he exists,
Please let me go back to my heart; I pray this to priests.
-Aditya Tiwari
