Inscribing my doubts,
there is a wobbly presence
That affirms with a nod
and vanishes with a call,
Been there always, I yearn
to preserve this touch,
For it responds only to
that, my stolen heart is such.
Defending in my heart, the
innocent fear of falling for you,
I couldn’t act but give up,
for you were one of the few,
The few who make smiles
meaningless and tears meaningful,
And the few who justify
your birth, the birth of a hopeless fool.
Of deceptive smiles and
fidgeting moves, I was a masked face,
Who wanted to run like
others, yet stand alone with the pace.
It was not a bit my choice,
expectations built in air,
And when you intended the
least, you fulfilled the largest share.
I put the pieces together;
the cracks continued to spread the image,
‘I’ll love you for a
thousand years’, the oldest promise on the page.
Time moulded me, time
falsified me, time proved me right,
And it was time that left
me a mere spectator of my life.
Down the narrow lane, we
did toddle but with a glitch,
With us standing on either
side, someone burned the sole bridge.
Several songs have captivated
me,
I have fallen for many for
music,
But for all my life craves
to tell you now,
Is that you were a song
being loved for lyrics.
