Obituary

Perched high on heights of vanity,
treats higher levels with profanity,
oblivious to the fact of gravity,
still far from accepting insanity.

Doors to immortality shut on the face,
seems one of those days,
of lost opportunities to show up an ace,
futile aspirations cut down by unflinching chase.

The first love betrays once more,
but still, it remains The love,
Embracing it, is the only solace
from its own hideous perpetual assaults.

A silent storm, a chronic quake,
rocks a self created heaven
weathers to crumbled rubble,
the feigned foundation of the turgid castle.

With plunging self-esteem, broken heart,
wounded thoughts, depleted belief,
trimmed wings, truncated desires,
a grounded mind and a buried body

a crow amongst crows all black,
armed with eagle eyes and a ruthless approach,
like a phoenix emerging from ashes
will live to live another day

the day will come when grapes be sweet
soaring skies be within its reach
having no regrets, nothing to weep
achieving whatever it wishes to seek
