Quicksand of Despair

My wandering eyes won’t find a shelter,

I was lost in a deep Jungle.

There were flowers, trees, fruits and water,

But my heart was too busy with itself to mingle.

Tread the path in trance, where would I be?

Solitude was shrieking loud within me,

And outside the chaos was so calming-

The sun over my pale skin shining.

A charming ray pierces through my eyes,

And I wake up to realize the truth that underlies-

He was the one whom I waited for,

He was the one whom I longed for!

We both were happy in our ways, dreams were slain-

Separate paths; then how did we meet again?

A little seed was put to rest deep inside,

Then today why our heart refuses to abide?

I still remember, every time I passed by him,

We looked at each other.

A quick glance, a tender smile,

But to say a single word we didn’t bother.

Our gaze turned to hi and hello.

Talks were nothing but few and mellow.

We came together as destiny wished!

Hesitant first but curious within.

Grin became a smile,

And Smile took us miles.

Slowly & gracefully we unwound,

A good friend in each other we found.

We talked, we chatted, we shared,

Not a single moment we spared!

This time I was clung to it, I was drawn to it.

I grew, I blossomed, I was a creeper, I was living through it!

Winding it, embracing it, feeling alive each moment,

Dreams were woven but, with a silken thin thread!

And then the thread ran thin, I slipped,

To my horror, in the warm marshy land!

I can’t control myself, please lend me your hand!

I tried, I fought, I struggled but I got sucked-

I could see you feeling my pain,

You went pale, your face drain!

But, all you can do is stand and stare-

As I quietly disappear in the quicksand of despair!
