Solace!!!
Mornings arrive with noons on heels
sun lightens up when hopes fulfil
sweet lores of delicious lives
fills all voids despair leaves
we walk hand in hand in this park
green all around flowers in bloom
there I see a magic crowd
each of us is party to
every face smiling wide
every laughter resonates
till it begins to turn yellow; this stark white
oh! the goddess of twilight has been shaken
out of a slumber and she yawns
her beauty stretches far and wide
a wistful smile on her lips
I see her sip sparkling wine
her transparent throat gulps it all
minute by minute second by second
tall glass emptied till the last drop
rests on my windowsill with her lip marks intact
dusk just walks by with a sweeping hallo
here it comes the chief of pleasure; queen of sorrows
walking on thin air flying about
making inroads to all broken hearts
and to those who are on the way to be broken
she sweeps time off the balance
minds waver, eyes blur, sharp lines are erased
a swish of her brow turns the town silent
yet there are some lips thirsty
some hearts pounding
waiting for a life of solace.
