1. Beautiful words…and a great poem…

   “Trapped, in two words,
   “If only”, my life passes
   Momentarily its wishes
   Etched in a sand grain”

   These lines I super-like… 🙂

4. Looks sad 🙁 and defeatism is acceptance of defeat without struggle 🙁 I hate those two words “if only”. 🙁 The best line here is “Impossible, they aren’t” 🙂 and incomplete dreams await to emerge into reality 🙂 and it can never be too late to start.

   Best Wishes as always Leo!! 😀

   • yeah, I hate them too.. but it happens sometimes and that trapped feeling is terrible to have, Nanka 🙁 I’ll come out of it soon if I get trapped, thats for sure.. 😀

5. Brilliant! “If only I had the time”…yes that thought crosses my mind often.

   Loved this verse:
   “Hard done by each tick
   Against me, lost these
   Desires seem within me”

   I know exactly how that feels… 🙂

   • yeah.. it crosses a lot of minds often, Deadpoet.. 🙂 glad u liked the poem 😀
