Fool's Errand

        I always believed that you can never make someone fall in love with you. Love is how you feel about someone. Others can't change it. Because, if you can make someone fall in love with you, someone can also make them fall in love with them.

        This poem is a dedication to all those happy ending stories where people successfully made others fall in love with them and lived happily ever after.


Drowning in the glory of morning sun
lost in its musings after a breakfast quest
dawns upon the little bird 
its time to leave the nest

Nest that has been her home
nest where there is parents' care.
Nest it should leave now
Cause it has grown now

It flew to far off places
met birds of different voices
nest is not home as per wises
until it has a misses

Home hunt takes a detour
to find something unsure
crowns, colours, feathers, voices.. all are great
but fail to make its heart elate

Fool's errand it has become
wings have gotten numb
hope made it look dumb
until a happy voice hit its eardrum

Its chirps echo from happy voice 
soon they sing songs of choice
It found its mate.. happy for its fate
with a shy gait.. it asks for a date

together they eat.. together they roam
when asked to build a home
happy voice sings..
need no home. for I have wings

together they eat.. together they roam
it still dreams of a home
hopeful of destiny
filled with happy matrimony

Seasons come.. seasons go
happy voice sings in happy glow
dreams make way for demons
as they bring fear in tons

But alas, reality is put to test..
as happy voice leaves the nest..
it sings in its memory..
perched on a lonely tree


That is why whenever a lone bird sings.. it is melancholic and feels it is yearning for someone.
