Only a place around the bend!: A poem

I thought it only was a poem!

But it turned out to be a lifetime!

I had no business with reason or rhyme

But poor me, presumptuous me(!)

Ever since I read the first line

I thought I knew the story

So, how come there was no glory?

Then the mood changed

Until I got to the middle; and discovered love

Discovering love is easier than finding love

Is it in the meaning, the reading between the lines?!

It got tougher still with all the needing

Only my mind needs abstract feeding!

Your life always involves the weeding

And, as you grow older, you could get bolder

But are you such an able soldier?

And can you ever learn to hold her?

I never got to the end

Because as I got into the depth of the poem

I knew there never was an end

Only a place around the bend!
