AZRAH AND THE ECHO

Ok, heres but a little slice
Of my desultory thoughts, i guess
Let me take you on a jolly ride
Through purposeless avenue.

The throes of this life
The uncertainty of each moment
A world full of people, all moving
Unsure of the next step…Fate’s pawns

The gulf between one second and the next
Will i ever know true happiness?
What is joy with the fear of sorrow lurking?
Each moment is like a coin

An eclipse with more black than white
The dawn is beautiful and dusk, inevitable
I am confused, lost and drowning in miserable thoughts
Will i ever find my way?

Now My nights lasts for days
And with each toss, the pain…renewed
I let out a scream
Just to hear the echo in my heart

Too scared to fail i do not even try
Failing before i even start
The past has drilled in me, a phobia so deep
Everyone rejects the failure, who applauds his effort?

Life and Lover, there is no solid ground
All i see is sinking sand…
Yet you urge me to take that step
Will you walk with me? I think not..

I stood beside you…hard and strong
Fighting your wars, a guardian angel on your shoulder
I was so devout, running with you
Running till the love ran out

A little sunlight and then the Storm
The taste of honey on my lips
The tang of vinegar behind my tongue
When will the double standards end?

There is a reason for everything…
We should take solace in this fleeting thought
Vague as it sounds
Comfort and solace cannot be found in its letters!!

In a world of black and white, death and life
Love and Hate, Peace and War
Hope, those dying embers we guard jealously
Because if that is lost…then all is.

The Aventurine.
