Vagaries Of Love

 
In the fresh of dawn
When sky is gray and earth dewy
As world wakes up to life
I seek the oblivion of death
But it evades me just like happiness.
 
I close my eyes to shut out beauty
Sweet melody of song playing on radio
Wishing I never had to wake up again
To see the ties that binds me to life…endless misery
 
Love is such a tiresome thing
Gives little but takes away everything
Enslaves as it liberates…

The Chasm

The more I yearn for you
The farther you descend away
Or ascend in stature
...by each pain-wrenched expired breath
Are you god or the devil-
Tempting and unyielding !!!
