Temptations...

To know

you are loved

And yet

to live without accepting that

To be held,

felt with passion

And yet

to not respond back

To have

a lover’s entwining arms

And yet

to be aloof of that

To be touched,

caressed as the precious one

And yet

to hold your urge back

To be the one

who was to be the life partner

And yet

to be the one who never was

To be there

with everyone

And yet

to wish for that silent back...

On a day like today

In a whirlwind

As we swooped, swirled

And moved beyond

The stars beckoned

“come and make this

Your new world”

A world created

On the back of tears,

Laughs, and on changing lives

of people unknown and near…

The one who was close

Burnt my soul

Broke me into pieces of dirt

The one unknown

Blessed that broken heart

To be fooled

And love the one who does not

And not know the one who does

Bend and pick up the unfinished

Pieces and build

Again what was destroyed…

And move on the path of right

Even when wronged…

That’s our life

Or something like that...
