Lost Am I....

Lost is my sleep, searching for dreams,
Lost is my path, searching for realms.
Lost am I, searching for truth in your lies.
Will you find me peace, hiding in your eyes?

Lost is my mind, searching for sanity,
Lost is my desire, searching for vanity.
Lost am I, searching for that soothing balm.
Will you find me luck, scripted on your palm?

Lost is my soul, searching for life,
Lost is my smile, searching for delight,
Lost am I, searching for the gazes you impart.
Will you find me love, residing in your heart?

Also lost is my identity, searching for name.
Will you find me Gautam, lost somewhere in mayhem?

Nayaan tere makes me Lost in Emotional Atyachaar :P !!

It has a great rhythm in it, as soon as I read it I was humming a tune for it and made me recall something I have written ...

Keep up the good work !!

Gautam Anand said...

Thanks Som.. just to mention.. this poem took the most out of me..in terms of effort and creativity..

Mohit said...

The poem has all in it.. to classify it as great.. infact ur best.. at par with "The way you look at me" and Two streaks

Anonymous said...

I can see a trend in ur poems or rather some chronological order ......THE STREAKS one was a lively poet's creation.....THAT DAY was a rejection scene's description and finally LOST AM I has a sorrowful emotional touch.........

Some say that a poets best description of his lover is when he is dejected and i can clearly see that being proved in ur poems.The poems seem to be getting more appreciative with the pain increasing.

Gautam Anand said...

Nopes Mr. Anonymous.. A poet need not be in pain to write sth painful..
