Gateway to Oblivion


for a man who did not want to be born
and having been born
wanted life to end early
and who continues to shout
about these or at least one of these

to unceasingly pry
into the origin of all possible life
in all possible parts of the vacuum
in which on a piece of a minor star
mostly called the earth
I am still alive

the path is alluring
the gate is blindingly illuminating
enough is enough
has been already forever
time to go

...Ham ne toh chaha, bhul hee jaye
Woh afsana kyo dohraye
Ham ne toh chaha, bhul hee jaye
Woh afsana kyo dohraye
Dil rah rah ke yad dilaye
Rat ne kya kya khwab dikhaye.....

I am an Engineer and new to this blog.

I always believe that when anyone get to know about ASTRONOMY, could understand how small we are in this infinite universe and the value of life.

Strongly feel superstitions, terrorism can be eradicated if people are educated about the Space & Universe. I respect and bow my head to all people who had contributed to the understanding of our Universe.

I felt that my feelings which are mentioned above about space science and Life are penned down in literal form in an amazingly beautiful way.

This poem pushes me to turn back the pages of this blog and to enjoy more of this poets work.
