On such few days,
Which are so rare and special,
Lost in the crowd,
Of known and not so dear people,
I feel I am alone,
Like a aimless driftwood,
Bobbing in the sea of vagueness,
of should I, or I should.
This guessing game is killing me.
You have never tried to hide,
I have seen it in your eyes, or have I?
I don't ask, and let my pride,
Supersede a love,
That's slowly turning me mad,
Yet, I want so little,
And that's what makes me so sad,
All I wanted was to see you,
I am denied that privilege,
Who knows why, for what fault of mine,
A trapped bird, this life a cage,
Every tiny particle,
Conspiring against me,
I've resigned to the fact,
I'm not meant to be free.
There is no love, perhaps,
This idea is just an illusion,
So on this special day,
I am wishing for a blinded vision,
I don't want to dream, set me free,
I don't want to dream, let me be.

About Me
- Rituparna
- I started writing on an impulse, as my very first post indicates. It was mostly, as an effort to understand myself better. I have graduated from that phase, lately. These days the endeavor is mostly creative. I indulge myself in poetry writing:)! More than often, love pervaded,thus a tad bit embarrassing at times. But how can I help it, being an incurable romantic at heart. Life and literature is meaningless to me, sans romance. I am still extremely self conscious about this, and only very recently have started sharing this link with the world. Inspite of this awkward shyness, like any writer, I too have a strong urge to be read. What can be a better platform than this....thus...I continue writing so! A few lines about the title of my blog...Lais.sez-faire...I don't know french. I came across this phrase in wikipedia....somehow, one day...the very essence of freedom, surrounding this particular phrase appealed to me, though technically it indicates higher forms of political, social and economic ideology. Why should I bother about such lofty, obtuse concepts, I am just an aspiring poet, and absolutely refuse to look beyond the beauty of this phrase!
