Sinews

Back and forth

thoughts play with me

I know I can push them away

in all these years 

havent I mastered the art? 

have played those symphony

many a time 

elaborate musical notes of memories 

I give in, I say this one time

I tenderly welcome this memory

knowing very well this is enough

to erupt a brewing volcano 

the notes start in a tender ifs and buts

crescendo's at unfairness of life

erupts into pain ceremoniously 

where music leads to dark abyss 

silence surrounds stillness beams 

I know the drill so well

yet yet...I welcome those memories 

with same tenderness each time

they all my own silhouettes 

dormant in the brightness of the day

hidden in those gorgeous smiles 

people have fallen in love with 

many a times 

inspirational resilience, they say

strength only brave can brave 

my smile widens, when, 

I think of the shadowy silhouettes 

which lurks with it's tight grip

seducing me into it's trap

I stand at the threshold

a fine thread connects me to reality 

with time, thread became my reins 

hegemony of past 

doesn't cease to exist

sinews have strengthened

between the past and my smiles!

have I mastered the art?

symphony is a Divine orchestra 

pursuit worth pursuing!!
