Victories fade fast,
As winners win often.
Losses haunt long-
Their memories remain.
Tonight, I face,
These lashes, heads-on.
My veils dissolve;
Taking away along, some
pain.
Reminds me of the time,
When we were young and naïve.
We have aged well,
though,
The journey’s been
insane.
Come here; lay beside me,
Under this pouring sky.
Let us see if we can
hold a candle,
In this non- November
rain?
As are my traits and
ideas,
Love and disdain.
I am also, a man of
conviction-
I might seek
re-assurances,
But, irrespectively, I always believe.
Obligations can hold me
back,
For how long, but?
Unfailingly, I reunite-
With my quest for forever.
The mind has been
forlorn,
From its depths, thoughts
Rarely wash ashore.
But believe, you must,
In my forever-
For, you are in it.
I will find words for you,
Simple but aplenty-
Words that are forever.
The distances that,
Creep in between,
Are ephemeral.
But you will survive,
As will I.
Together. Forever.
The arts are magical,
Fantasies, they sustain.
Opium for the heart,
But, they shrink the brain.
Subjectivity takes its toll,
Differentiating wrong from right.
It needs to be scarce,
Appreciate it then, we might.
For too long, life has been an art,
A story of bravado and defiance.
Time and again, Sapiens must rekindle,
The lost love for Science.
