Vortex

There was a time when love was real,

And the sky was painted in love,

And the green sprouted new dreams,

And the hope of togetherness reflected in the rainbow,

And tears were filled with pure emotions,

And eyes could see the sublime soul,

The time when hearts were united in a cradle of love...

That was the time when spirits were invincible,

And heart floated in the intoxicated trance,

Fear was chained and freedom paved new horizon,

Every narrow lane opened to a wider space,

Every fall was a led to new heights,

Every stop was signaling for a new start,

The time which was like a lifetime,

Snapped in the middle of a new beginning...

Time is  now far behind, and far away,

The thorn of reality that burst the bubble,

The storm that washed away the canvas blank,

The memories that turned into nightmares of the present,

The mirrors reflected the broken images of emptiness,

The wall that had risen to shield the heart,

The ceiling was covered by the opaque sheets of reality,

Breaking and broken with every moment that time swipes,

Nothing could penetrate the concrete walls of disposition...

Every attachment is a step towards detachment,

Every drop of love is wiped by the blades of hurt,

Intoxicated in the company of solitude,

The time has changed, and the noises are less deafening,

Swaying with the life that ticks with time,

Every beat that swings between life and love...
