Last letter

Eternity waits
26
A marvelous date
26
None more to leave
26
Set me free
26
A strange life
26
Saying goodbye
26
Loved whilst I could
26
But all's left and all's done
26
Fears none more

There's only 26


I can't wrap my head around it
You're telling me
all I need is 26


That's insane
Absurd

26 letters
laid out in some combination
could lead you back to me

26
Really?
It's that simple?

How many combinations
and therefore how many realities
exist



How many times do I get it right?
How many times do I dot my I's
and cross my T's
enough to lead you back to me

What was this supposed to be
and overused drawn out symphony
write

write until you have an epiphany

26 that's all I need
to let you know what you meant to me
to finally
lead you back to me

26

This must be a lie
I can count that on five hands
provided an extra finger

let that thought linger

26
it can't be
provided our history
the right answer alludes me
it remains a mystery


26




that's all it will take
but I can't let myself make the same mistake
it's time I nix
the search for those elusive

आज 26 जनवरी है, आज हम गणतंत्र दिवस मनाएंगे!
सुबह सुबह उठकर, कुर्ता पजामा पहनकर, साथ में चश्मा लेकर एकदम हम नेताजी बन जायेंगे |
9 बजे मैदान पहुंचेंगे, 2-4 सेल्फी लेंगे, फिर Insta, facebook पर status update कराएंगे...
आज 26 जनवरी है, आज हम गणतंत्र दिवस मनाएंगे!

बस आज की मजबूरी में ई तिरंगा को सलामी दे  जायेंगे |
देखा देखी में हम भी जन-गण-मन ख़ुशी का ढोंग करके गायेंगे ||
आज ई सब बड़े दिखावे के साथ कर लेंगे लेकिन कल फिर से भगवा लहराएंगे |
भले हमें खुद नही आता लेकिन दुसरो से जबरदस्ती वन्दे मातरम गवाएंगे ||
आज 26 जनवरी है, आज हम गणतंत्र दिवस मनाएंगे!

बड़े प्यार से आज हम "जय भीम" का नारा लगाएंगे |
खूब शौक से आज संविधान की कश्मे खाएंगे||
"छोटा बड़ा कोई नही, सब एक बराबर है", आज हम जोर जोर से चिल्लायेंगे|
भीड़ को इकठ्ठा करके, बाबा साहेब की तारीफ के कशीदे पढ़वाएंगे ||
लेकिन बस आज ही करेंगे, कल फिर से इनको इनका औकात दिखाएंगे |
ई भीमराव जो किया है, उसके लिए उसे फिर से गालियाएंगे ||
छोड़िये आज इन सब बातो को, आज 26 जनवरी है, आज हम गणतंत्र दिवस मनाएंगे!

आज भाषण देने के लिए एकदम बढ़िया मंच सजवाएंगे |
भाषण ऐसा देंगे की सब मंत्रमुग्ध हो जायेंगे ||
नागरिको के संविधानी अधिकारों को अपने भाषण द्वारा उन तक पहुचायेंगे |
सत्ता विरोध और प्रदर्शन के अधिकार को भी उनको समझायेंगे ||
आज तक तो ई सब ठीक है लेकिन कल से जो सत्ता के विरोध में बोला, उसपर UAPA का धारा लगवाएंगे...
विरोध करने का उसको मीठा फल दिलवाएंगे, देशद्रोह का charge लगवाकर उससे जेल में चक्की पिसवाएंगे ...!

आज हम थोड़ा liberals वाला देशभक्ति दिखाएंगे...
कल से फिर दोबारा हम असली राष्ट्रवादी बन जायेंगे!
लेकिन फिलहाल, आज 26 जनवरी है, आज हम गणतंत्र दिवस मनाएंगे...!
Truth of modern India...

This is a poem written in my very own regional accent, i.e. Bihari accent... So even hindi speaking people may also face problem while reading this...

My very first hindi poem 😅😅

Happy rebublic day 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

26 days.
Meredith May 2015
26* days until my schooling career comes to a stoping point,
or perhaps a pause.
26 days until I stop seeing everyone I've been forced to see five times a week for 12 years.
26 days until my alarm clock no longer has to wake me up at the peek of dawn.
26 days until I no longer see these wonderful teacher's I've come to adore.
26 days until it is all over.
1 day and I'm graduated.
12 years
4,380 days
That all lead to this one day,
that is 26 days away.
That ends my high school career,
& is the start of something beautiful.

Hollowed eyes straining
Typing mindlessly into the white screen
Letters,
a line
a curve
a sound
Letters treated like saliva in our mouths
A never-ending supply that you can eternally spit out
Spit on faces
on egos
on personalities
& into souls
The blank looks on our faces
Displaying vulnerability with words
Love letters, suicide notes, all the same
Just a mix and match of only 26
Shuffled to create a medley of messages
Enough to capture a heart
to water the eyes
to transform a character
You read back and realize…
Your words were nothing
They were merely a reflection of our shallow generation
The youth that speaks only of narcissism and flaws
The 26 letters wasted for the title of “popular”
wasted for the action of “fitting in”
wasted for the heart of the “love of your life”
26 is a huge number
Love is a huge word
Master this analogy and you can bloom in the world
People fear to not be accepted
My fear is my inability to put together a combination of 26 letters
One that has the ability to encompass the infinite possibilities
I fear to absorb this world’s dislocation of priorities
15 years with the same 26 letters
My words; altered
My mind; modified
And my mouth finally says:
I
want
to
*inspire
Haven't been writing in a while though - a.b.

Ilang oras na akong nagsusulat
Ilang tinta at papel na ang nasayang
Pero hindi ko alam kung bakit hindi ko malabas ang nais iparating ng puso
Wala akong magawa kung hindi titigan ang mga nasayang papel na nasa gilid ng aking mga kamay
Ilang ulit na akong nagpalit nang kulay ng tinta ng bolpen, nagbabakasaling kung kulay pula ang gamiting pangsulat, mawawala ang lungkot na nadarama na may mahal kang iba
Baka kung kulay dilaw ang bolpeng gagamitin mawawala ang sakit na nagpapaala-ala na hindi ako ang dahilan ng mga ngiti sa iyong labi
Baka kung kulay berde ang bolpeng gagamitin maglalaho ang mga luhang hindi maubos-ubos tuwing nakikita kitang kapiling siya
Ano pa ba ang dapat gawin?
Ilang papel pa ba ang masasayang para sayo?
Ilang kulay pa ba ng bolpen ang kailangan masayang para malaman ang nais sabihin
Hindi ko alam kung ano at paano
Ano ba ang dapat gawin para mawala ka sa isipan?
Paano ba kita bibitawan kung alam kong sa pagtawid sa kulay pula ramdam kong ako lang nakakapit?
Paano ko hihigpitan ang paghawak sa daming tumatawid sa dilaw na dahilan para bitawan ka kung alam kong malayo ka na para abutin pa
Paano kita hahanapin sa huling kulay berde kung alam kong wala na, tapos na
Wala ng dahilan para magpatuloy
Dahil alam kong hindi tamang ipagpatuloy itong bugso ng damdaming na kahit saang anggulo, hindi tama, hindi nararapat
Kaya hayaan mo kong sayangin ang mga papel, bahala na kung magalit ang kalikasan
Hayaan mo akong maubos ang lahat ng kulay ng ballpen dahil dito ko nalamang masasabi ang mga salitang dapat iparinig sayo
Wala na akong magagawa kung hindi hayaan ang panahon
Hayaan ang sariling humilom
Hindi ko alam kung gaano katagal
Pero hayaan mo, makakapagsulat ulit din ako gamit ang isang papel at kulay itim na bolpen balang araw para sa tunay na nakalaan nito
Pero sa ngayon hayaan mo lang muna akong titigan ka sa malayo habang nakatuon ang iyong mata sakanya
Hayaan mo lang muna akong iyakan ka habang hindi mo mapigilan ang ngiti sa iyong labi kasama siya
Hayaan mo lang akong masanay sa sakit, baka sakaling magsawa ako at hayaan ang sariling sumaya ulit...kapiling ang iba

— The End —
