I am writing here after a very long time.. I hope you, the reader, empathise with my emotions through this piece..


You... You who were so good with words

Somewhere beyond the ice and sand
A shadow cast on a timeless land
The flames as high as the canopy
Of mesmerizing youth, momentary

You were my dame, my sorrow's bane
The song that ripped my heart out, the string that, my fingers maimed
Your notes touched my body's rhythm
Your gloats, my tears, shamed

True to your blood, true to your crime
Your roses turned my thorns to grime
Align, align, your tuning fork tried
To smooth out this cacophonic life

You were the reflection, buried deep in my eye
True, like the oasis, under the starry desert night
You drew out the smoke, from my foggy breath
You churned out emotions, from this stony lad

You.. You who were so good with words
