Debut

I’ve lived through

Few blunted stories,

Upfront with mere

Experience of faults

Or dealing with flaws.

 

Tickets to new chapters

Were readily available

And I’d taken them all

Without thinking twice;

Planning a little

Would’ve been wise.

 

But wisdom is

Comprehended and

Implemented only

With time and

Refined age.

 

Time and again,

Due to my own

Miscalculations,

I’ve led to my shift’s

And turning-point’s  

Miscarriage;

I’ve made blunders

That I thought

Were wonders.  

 

Weeks before,

I was at the dire stage

Where all seemed lost

According to the

Save the Cat Beat Sheet,

But I’ve now found

Myself along the way;

 

I can assuredly say

That there’ll be

A lot of introspection

And pondering

Before entering

A new story.

 

I will channelise

Intensities and

Curiosities of  

My own free will,

Time will no longer

Be fragile or still,

For I know what

Perfectly suits;

Heart and mind

Waiting for the cue,

This is going to be

My directorial debut.

Haha! I knew that I was taking a risk by talking about the cautions and preparations, but yeah, I will be aware of who's going off the script. Thank you, Tim.😊

I love the thought of a directorial debut for life and love. Scripted caution and scenes prepared in advance. Just beware of actors who like to go off script and ad lib. 😃
Thought provoking Manish, well done.

These latest poems are a different style than earlier ones you posted. (I like both styles.) Shorter sentences that pack an emotional punch.
"But wisdom is
Comprehended and

With time and
Refined age."
Awesome writing, Manish!
