Saddest Clown

FOR ATUL

Amid applause
Admiring stares
And angers shown of little careless motions
Stands the saddest clown of all
Listen in his silent movements
For a glimpse of his anguished call in pain
He feels the blow of your disdain
Foolishly

He never found the answer
He never saw the clues
Of how though faultless pity
He came to belong
To you ...
And you

Why?
He expresses the need he feels to walk by your side
In the crowd that stare at his stupidity
He sees his own reflection
Crying for his rejection
And you laugh!

HA!

Why?
Don't cry for them maestro
It is yours and not their show
He feels sorry
For he sees more fools outside him than within

And though no sadder sight is there than a sad clown
Don't frown at me!

Aarti: That was very aaah erm... I seem to be at a loss of words... but poignant... if I am right in using the word... the feeling of pain and the mockery , disdain , and the hope all so beautifully expressed... one that leaves feeling heavy hearted and totally empathic ... and the title itself hits you in teh face... the paradox of it... a clown .. and being not jus sad but saddest...!!!

Loved it... its gonna go into my favorites...

Edited to mention my fav bits , something taht totally moved me... the lineshighlighted jus tugged so hard at my heart...

Amid applause
Admiring stares
And angers shown of little careless motions
Stands the saddest clown of all
Listen in his silent movements
For a glimpse of his anguished call in pain
He feels the blow of your disdain
Foolishly

Aarti...if this is lunacy, then I'm all for it!! 😆 😆 😆...If we get such interesting stuff out of you, in your "lunatic" mode...then the regular mode will probably blow us away even more 😆 😆 😆 oh but am best when am crazy...don't you know that?????? like i was totally mad when i wrote the art and craft....

btw, why are you calling yourself uncreative?? 😕 aaah!! poetic license...am allowed that!! it is the poet's natural right to deride himself and present himself as a pitiable creature...but seriously...tongue in cheek. can't you imagine why i wrote that??
