                I

Precariously  juxtaposed

Man’s endless predicament

Desiring the impossible

Shunning the inevitable

Down right  idiocy

Helplessly giving in to it .

Before me  I beheld

A light in my horizon

Strangely captivating 

Intrigued I drew near

Captured by  golden brightness

Brief  moments flickered

Creating an  aura

A steadfastness  illogical

Duping me into suspension .

                 II

Incredibly lay the truth

 Mere passing clouds

Meant just to be swept away

Yet deliberately I turn  off

Laying discretion  and caution aside

Willingly embracing ignorance

As erratic superfluous emotions

Tumble like fresh borne floods

Ruthlessly breaking shores

Stilling  soul  and senses

Into somber stupefaction.

                III

     Along life’s pathway 

     My soul  searches

     Frantically I looked about

     Surprisingly yet sadly

     Many a  soul I see

     Agonizingly searching 

    Is there anybody  ?

    Empathetic souls none

    Fill  vacuums foreboding

    Be it kith or kin ?

    All at ear shot

    Some at hand’s length

   No time nor ears to lend.

   Wallowing in swamped up feeling

   Searching  to share

   Only grotesque masks strut

   On the stage of Life

  Moving in  many worlds

  Cold and callous of their making .

                IV

  Finding  my respite

  I let slip in to shades

  Of make believe secured ness

  An overpowering glee

  Ecstasy mingled in agony

  I am caught prevailing

  Bounded in timelessness

   Short lived though it be

  Like the last embers of  fire place

 Or the dying flame of a finished candle

  Groping for  a  hold

  I find my feet  at last

  As I fall back with a thud

  As wisdom  re -turns  to return

  Reality strikes like  a brain storm

  As each to our own orbit

  We  got to return

  To the rightful place

  Where we belong !!!
