Life plays a mock role on the living.
Up turning their existence like pebbles.
Goading them with desire at the journeys end,
To venture out on un-woven tracks.
Lean not your heart on gone by joys or sorrows.
Seasons change again for the better.
Dismay holding out newer hopes,
Cravings, longings and turmoils are to cherish.
Linger on, a little, O! sweetness of love,
My heart swells with the passing winds:
And time be ripe for the spirited storm.
Alas, yonder blows yet another tempest.
Drape not the darkened night with confusion.
Dress not your sleepless eyes in kajal.
Enliven not your passions in mystic veils.
The contourless air grows warm.
It is but nature kicking up the waves.
In time the clouds will form and rain.
Tears had held us apart in sorrows,
Await till they bring us together in joys.

Ths touches a nerve and is good. I like Linger on, a little, O! sweetness of love,
My heart swells with the passing winds:
And time be ripe for the spirited storm.
Alas, yonder blows yet another tempest.
Well done.

I hear you
Often we blame others for our own doings for if you have an addiction who chose to take the drugs and often we blame others for our pain but who put themselves under such a strain . Ues I agree look upon yourself and if you got yourself into this condition stand up and find the help you so need to get out of it and know only you can make that choice for God has sent you help did you realize it when your mom or dad wanted to get you into a center God was there did you hear your friend asking you to get help they would be right by your side God was there .Hear his words and reach out and say yes I want to be saved save me today

'Lean not your heart on gone by joys or sorrows.'
I had to pick this out because this one simple line contains enough wisdom to carry the whole poem. I think what you say here is tremendous in value! To move on in the 'Newness of Life' facing it fresh without carrying our 'conditions' with us. Hard maybe at times but merely the intention to move on from them will have transforming effects.
The best to you.
