Helpless... Poem by Mohit Sharma

So what I can soothe you, I can't feel your pain

Maybe, I can quench your thirst but cannot be your rain.



So what I am with you, I can't comprehend your isolation

Maybe I can cherish you for a while, but can't avoid your stubborn frustration.



So what I'd guide your ways, but couldn't destroy those hurdles

Maybe my thoughts had fed you, but cannot unwrap your own thoughtful bundles.



So what I can make you smile, but can't eradicate the barrier to your happiness

Maybe I can improve your future, but couldn't convince upon your past to confess.



So what I can tap your head, but can't pour sleep into your eyes

Explored your inner self many times, yet struggling to unfold those feelings in disguise.



So what I can walk along, but never bring across your lost destiny

Maybe I am there to wipe your tears, but couldn't absorb your dusky agony.



So what I can make you visit to mosque, it's tough to sprout the seeds of faith

Maybe I can spur my love on you; still it's not easy to extract love, out of your hate



So what I say ‘Good Night' daily, but can't turn your nightmares into sweet dreams

Maybe I can reduce that noise around you, but couldn't suppress your own conscience scream.



Searching altogether desperately for you, within you

Eagerly waiting amidst for your dark clouds, to turn blue



You are trying hard to hide your emotions that are standing undress,

and I am struggling to incubate new hopes in you, being almost helpless...
