I have never regarded you,
As anything than my Supreme.
The ultimate one-
Who rises up-
Above- against- all.
Your simplicity remains your charm-
Which the passage of so many years-
With its good, bad or ugly,
Could ever harm.
Somewhere distant,
Your smile still calls out to me-
To reach out,
Beyond my threshold,
To hold you close,
As my only link to reality.
Truth begets truth.
The old adage holds true.
The weight of it-
Reflected in our every step.
But does it become a burden too?
Can we flee from all negativity-
To the sunshine harbor,
Of our undiscovered dreams?
Maybe pessimism mars our foresight.
Maybe we are too scared to see afar.
Instead pay heed to our caution.
Is it right?
Or just a blasphemy?
This treason of reason?
As we live in self-denial?
Never for once had we wavered before.
But look at us now-
Like children we dog each other’s footfalls.
We fight, scream, curse and fight.
But to what end?
For what goal?
Where is the love,
I wonder-
All that we had promised each other?
Will our nascent hopes,
Be negated to a still-born stage?
Will they never see the light of the day-
Locked so deeply in our minds?
While our heart seems to speak
Some other language,
We choose not to understand.
Why let ourselves be blamed by folly?
Why indeed,
Shall we be victims of
A Fool’s Paradise?
Self-created- yes.
But not unwanted too.
Is it time now,
To awaken to the strings,
Of a different beat.
Where the colours painted
In our minds,
Seem to be always,
A shade darker than what we seek.
Is it because of foolish pride,
That fails to enthuse us to peruse,
With an aim.
Why do we close our eyes,
To the obvious.
Yet intentionally,
Be oblivious,To all
That we leave behind-
Every time we fight.
Insatiable-
Fuelled on-
By our different strokes.
