Unlacing...

I traversed the sky-

Where this sun was still asleep!

For there exists some lines-

Never meant to be crossed!

As life keeps on adding chapters,

After chapters…

The old ones-

That you have treasured!

Learn to live this moment-

You are in!

 

I passed by the street-

Where the heads of lamps lowered down!

It's diffuseness-

Glaring my eyes!

And I saw the crowds of dreams-

Instead!

Some sighs no hope-shattered and bereaved!

On this walking trail!

While others smiling and passing by-

And this success chasing them…

A shadow of course!

I realized-

I am a mere dream!

Of no sleeps and no nights!

That hunts my heart!

With a few lessons to learn

And rest buried as the memories…

You are a dream that you dreamt of!

My folks-

Learn to live this moment-

You are in!

 

It’s a meager play of illusions-

You may get deluded!

Even if the clouds that promises

You, of rains and showers….

And leaves you dried and withered!

Even if the dishonesty that mockingly smiles

At the truth that you’ve slaughtered…

And assures you the trust that never existed!

Even if the love you gave to the one…

The one, the life can be!

And that one shall never return!

To your dreary heart…

And yes,

Even if the promises that silently dissolves,

In that phony smile...

And you are deluded!

Yes, a meager play of illusions-

Life is all about!

Learn to live this moment-

You are in!

I agree. Beautiful artwork and poetry.
"And you are deluded!
Yes, a meager play of illusions-
Life is all about!
Learn to live this moment-
You are in!"
The above lines are very good wisdom. Thank you dear Poet for the excellent poetry.

thank you for this lovely poem. It overflows with wisdom and truth- Truth I needed desperately to remember today. Your words are your art!

[Mayank]

Perfect, all this just an illusion. We should either live in this moment or spend time thinking while time lapses.

"Even if the dishonesty that mockingly smiles at the truth that you've slaughtered... and assures you the truth that never existed!"

Brilliant

Living in the moment can be a challenge sometimes, especially when those old chapters carry burdens of guilt, resentment, and pain. This is an I portant message and we all need reminding from the to time.

Thank you for inviting me to read.

You describe alienation and how you feel alone in a crowd... fine write, you always write so well..

[hardeep sabharwal]

Really interesting read, I like the craft of the piece

[Dayran]

An interesting view of coming into contact with the dream ... our habitual views ... and the promises of the new. Nice ...
