The Mirage...

Your persisting image haunts my world-
my unblinking eyes trace your virtual steps;
choking with dust as the ashes fly,
and you take a sudden flight.

Congenitally congenial I was;
this sudden silence of my mind,
questions the purpose of my heart
weighed down it is-
by shackles of confusion you create.

I talk in loops,
weave a mindless maze,
tangle myself in my own web
like a spider mistaking its own prey.

Forced is my restrain,
my resolve is the candle in a storm
barely alive,
but still there
fighting the mirage of your existence.

but...
for how long?

  3. Beautifully written...The mirage of marvelous writing...
    I esp liked the phrase "Congenitally congenial I was..." both are antonyms to each other..yet u connected the bond of defect to taste...:) :). Yes we all have the defect that we are congenial to write blogs...:) :)

    Thanks again for such a awesome poem Kirti....Continue u r awesomeness of writing in the same way...

  4. wow ,kirti..... thank you for this awesome creation..
    i liked the line "Congenitally congenial I was..." . I feel it,even on thin king this line,even after many hours..
    and i think the best part is the end "but...for how long?" it took my brains out,while thinking about what does this line mean....
