Alone At the zenith

 Treading fast, high on the rise, I never looked behind,

The fellows who joined me there hada dbeen left far behind.

I celebrate the success, and each achievement

With fun and frolics, and many a merriments.

Every time having new  friends, until morning that never ends.

I had been workaholic, working twelve to fourteen hours

And thinking nothing but my work, in rest of the day hours.

I had got wings to jump from peak to peak,

Aiming to land on a new higher peak.

I did not listen to any call

From my parents and, my childhood pals

To my deaf ears they did fall.

I continued alone rolling the ball.

At my success they did cheer

But they could not come near.

Ageing life, need of a wife,

Never became an obstacle in my career strife.

My bank accounts, full of dollars

Had become my scatting rollers

A Hotel’s room became my home

Elaborate like a success dome.

Here every happiness I had to buy,

Although to none, I had to reply.

To question me none can dare

But with no one I can share

No gleaming eyes with a smile

At the ceiling I just stare.

On the top then one day I found 

Myself aloof, nobody around.

To cross over the next, a deep long valley was on way

But with my wits and guts , I had been on sway.

High speedy winds of commercialization

And sinking market heavy ,blizzards

Soon I had, against me and around for help no wizards

First time in my life I failed to steer,

My mind is full of falling fear.

As there is no one lullaby against any odd.

To boost my moral no one sing any ode
