FADE

Faces lost in albums, and all those silent wars!

Too late for a settlement, please don’t caress my scars!

I have bundled up my belongings to move so far away,

Where your thoughts shall not linger and I’ll be gone astray!

The flames of love that burnt me also got me reformed,

I rise from my own ashes to fight against these storms…

Don’t expect me to shed tears, for my eyes have run dry…

I have left no reason to mourn; I have lost the mood to cry!

I only hope you don’t regret the choices you have made,

I only wish you would try to reach me before I fade….

THE KITE

I was flying high in the summer when the sky was clear

The blues reflected in your eyes..No place for grief, no place for fear!

I swayed along the western winds, spreading my multi-color wings.

The joy that filled up your heart when you played with my feeble strings!

You may hold me up in your hands, but for how long?

The strings attached to me aren't that strong!

Right now it may be playing along dear,

But the next minute be snapped and gone!

With the coming of the winter when dampness shrouds my skin

I’m too frail hearted to spread my slender wings!

The mists blur up the vast sky that I once so proudly reigned,

While time devours my vibrancy and all my colors go faint!

So I lay secluded and buried in a dusty corner of your room,

Someday I might as well be swept along by your ruthless broom!

Be crumbled and tore into pieces one could hardly count,

And never shall I see the sky, for my existence will be doomed!
