Love Effervescent

I hum a tune, that’s what I do!

Coarse words, I have erased

Words that had become blades.

The scars from my burning tears healed!

My bosom swelled with rupture…

You bestow on me the blossoms of your bliss!

The naked line of painful memories has been immortalized …

Now, life bears the hue of flames,

Passion carries the blaze of light…

My soul finally has a voice because your breath

exudes love effervescent!

Now the wind has carved your name on my chest…

Now time is set to everlasting Dawn…

Where together our gazes will roam!

Fare Ye Well.

Merciless daughter of boundless silence,

a feather trampled by invisible bodies.

Object of wasted desire

lashing the  body.

You stood out!

And I offered you

wholesome love and chaste sentiments

but you chose to plunge your body and soul

in a whirlpool of dead-end emotions,

resisting my every move!

So, I bid you goodbye,

my soul steeped in sorrow!

For the life

you never lived,

For the love

you never found!

I let you wallow in the oblivion

of your insecurities!

I wring the pain

wrapping my arms around my chest,

I dry up my tears,

tearing my soul apart,

I pick up the pieces

of my broken heart

and l take my leave.

Because I love you!

Life Scenario

People tangled up in meaningless relations

tormented by conventions,

lies and deceit, selfishness and greed.

Truth is but a black sheep.

Discretion nowhere to be seen.

Draw a line across

the tyranny of dos and don’ts,

clench your fists

keep facing ahead.

Teach your heart never to dread!

Take a deep breath,

shout a cheer for life’s wealth

fly the banner of your ideals

and soar with them up high!

Spread your wings

keep your gaze steady and clear

and look up at the Sky!
