To Desire or not to

To desire or not to...

To desire is to have you wrapped

in the solace of bonds

Where life demands tangibility

In every single breath we share

To desire is to have your eyes

light up the broken lamps

in the dejected corners of my house

Your celestial touch that feels

like the scent of morning dew

To desire is to feel the blood

That fills your delicate hands

And to borrow warmth, for once

From your everglowing semblance

To know you like no one does

To know your voice like a dearly etched memory

The fragrance that bloom the flowers early

Beauty that flutters life into shallow spirits

But it would be apt not to yearn

Since you're no longer the symphony

on the beats of which my heart wiggles

You're no longer the north star of my life

I couldn't bear the truth

I couldn't endure the speculum

that you gored into my eyes

The weight of the destiny

burns heavy into my soul

I couldn't confront the barbed words

mercilessely wounding me at the core

We were destined to rise, were we?

Or perhaps to fall

into abysmal patterns of life

We were never to be larger than ourselves

But the fate stabbed the love

We shared all the little fragments of life

the quantum of pain and joy

We moulded sufferings into elation

Before we succumbed to our truer selves,

unfeigned motives and honest ramblings

Neither the skies, nor the stars

But only we knew how we could

Outgrow the castles we built together

Only we knew how desires can be turned to cinders.
