In your errie silence,
Lies the graveyard,
Of memories,
Fresh and painful.
Playing traunt with me,
Is the star of destiny,
Twinkling, hiding, twinkling ,
An optical illusion, or reality.
Have been chasing the moon,
In bright, radiating, Sunshine ,
Are you the truth, or
A violent deception.
Oath of Fealty,
Broken to pieces,
Commitment to unison,
Shredded to trash bin.
Once you were the bank,
To the stream of emotions,
Now you puncture breaches,
The wave of feelings spills over….
Hands that caressed the feet,
Fingers that mopped the forehead,
Tenderly, lovingly, passionately,
Wasn’t that real, and not an illusion.
In dreams within dreams,
The soul is rocked to and fro,
Restive and tired, it seeks,
The comfort of a loving lap….
The lap that once gifted,
Was laden with prickly assets,
Piercingly, now bleeds the heart ,
Violated is trust, faith, in vows!
Over years, you tip toed, quietly
Towards , your eternal love,
But in a swoop, unlocked the heart,
Stealing away my fortune of memories…
The rebellious spirit,
Now in frenzy, demands,
Retribution for faking reality,
While it was an all-out illusion.
Forsaken by the star of destiny,
Hopelessly roams the spirit,
Seeking unification in eternity,
Illusion will turn into reality.
To pardon thee for the heresy
Of the purity of love,
Will enshrine on the pages of Time,
A miscarriage of destiny.
Vows of till death do us apart,
Slogans as hollow as the rhetoric,
Of a Beguiling, politician, Rabbi ,
Mullah and pundit; laid to death.
Wait, I shall, till eternity,
Or till cows come,
For you to carres……and,
Make illusion into reality.
Deceived and Betrayed,
In ruins perennially,
No truck with thee, anymore,
Flags, resolve, determination
