The roads may not exist,
The paths might not have been traversed before,
The reality may rattle your being,
The future might put you in an abyss with no scent of spoor.
It doesn’t matter how you feel,
It doesn’t matter where you land,
All that counts is your grit to go beyond.
Beyond your trepidations,
Beyond your fears,
Beyond those inhabitations,
Beyond any queries.
For you have one life and many hopes,
All beaconing your name only if you can hear.

Metaphor of sunset
Drowned by driving rain
Soft edges
Into black
Shine
Sharp petals
Edge together
Pink held
tight
Sunrise lauds
Grip loosened
edges hold
Light
Sunbeam streaks naked light
Dawn’s gray panned to gold
Flashed bright
Rays unfold
Pink
Love at first sight, I thought is weird outright!
Impossible like walking to the moon Or travelling as fast as light.
But one fine day, somebody comes along and takes your breath away.
He's caught your eye, he's got the charm, This huge crush doesn't let you function.
Slowly you realise you like him a little too much, And cant wait to tell him, 'Baby, I love you so much!'
Sparks fly when you meet, Igniting a fire of temptation and passion.
Little did I know what this 'love' thing was like, Butterflies in my stomach and sleepless nights!
