Pondering over him i see at a glance he is the one to be loved from a distance
Neither for my cape he is the feather
Nor does my heart wants us to be together
The trapdoors opened by the ruthless trails
Make our greatest uncertainties prevail
a notion we carry to blame at ease ,that our marriage brought us only miseries
Our fickle minds of conflicting choices
A perpetual abhorrence in our voices
I wander like swarm in the waves of doubts
Against the insecurities that come in bouts
I see this universe as a lonely breeze
The sense of Hiraeth that makes me freeze
My timid soul gets no place to curl
Above the myths and illusions of the world
Soon I begin to slip into the slumber
To find an old lady in her timeless encumber
I see a senile man apace with her
On a lazy couch about to wither
In a vicinity full of cracks and clutter
They vision and balance constantly flutter
Their fatigued minds are so much demented
But still hold on to the values they protracted.
her man fetching her a glass of wine
Still has a command on the lights of fine dine
Her shaky hands still cook out of pleasure
Since the gratitude has forever not known any measure
The Cabernet chianti and charming night
Reconciling each others age old plights
He finally falls for the past strings and melodies
And forgets ,forgives and find remedies
My life sails to see that day
Uprooting all hurdles that come our ways.
