Time.

Time passes us by and memories are made,
Dreams pass on with Youth’s last sigh,
And things move closer to death’s shade,
While all that we are, all that is, is going to die.

Remember? How it was when we first –
Remember is all that we seem to do…
That smile, that rose, that meeting, that thirst,
What you were to me, what I was to you.

Time passes and emotions cool down by degree,
If I smile now you don’t see the light in the eyes;
For now love is tempered by chaste reality
And we realized that everything that was and is dies.

What of the time I fantasized of Knights,
Charging down to take me from the real of life?
It has faded slowly when, in heartbroken nights,
Comprehending that pieces of paper make a husband and wife.

The lessons time shows are hard to bear,
Everything that goes high descends with a fall,
Dreams have youth while age has hope’s share,
The irony of this rant on Time being: it cures All.

A Conversation.

A Conversation.

You are crying!
He is lying …
He is asleep?
Yes, quite deep.
Why do you weep?

Did you fight?
Yes, all night.
Is he asleep?
Dream deep.
Why don’t you sleep?

Will he stay?
I can’t say …
Duty calls?
And fear brawls.
Ah, Love sees that Pride crawls!

You are sad?
Wants I had …
Does he care?
Yes, love’s share.
Look around! He isn’t there!

You still cry?!
I can’t lie.
Sleeps, doesn’t he?
Sound and warmly.
Fool, fool you be!

Fight.

Midnight passed in fight. It’s night. Morn, some say.
The room’s tube bright, Lata fills the back ground.
You sleep: for mother waits at break of day!
(Here I wait for you to make any sound.)
I am dark and you seem to be light.
Each consumes the other – no middle ground.
Do we wait for chaos? The Last Day Fight?
For Nature to let us loose? Hold us bound?
I write. Lata sings. You sleep – or do you?
I don’t move to check. Each seized already
In wicked persona struggles – flu, too.
Emotions are far from being steady.
You grunt, I sing. I dance, you look away.
Love has come. So how do we make it stay?
