Of love, time and lies

Time recedes with waves of warmth
It's fading shadow of light and hope
With changing minds and serendipity
Conflicting positives and burning negatives

The world seems to be changing fast
Shrinking with no place to hide
The road is the same, same are the clouds
The change is only for us to share
For you and me
For a soul and another
Untraversed desire helps love thrive

I was not a lover before I lost you
A love with a difference
Of realisation, of unmatched potential
Of crossroads and fresh vibrance

Days passed and it grew stronger
Until faith changed its track
It pains to call you unfaithful
It burns inside to be one too

I stole a kiss from a face
From a dream and a lip
Discovered only the faces have got changed
Denying the life a lap to sleep

People have changed so have their masks
Whom was I loving? The mask or the person?
Wrong begets wrong as they say in truth
Fantasy brings reality as a crushing arson

Who is happier? Past or the present?
Who will decide about right or wrong?
Again time is ticking away for both of us
Till we meet again,
Let memories decorate their beds and flowers
For a soul and another
To meet in a world of unfaithful song

cool post dada... reminds me of an urdu couplet i read recently...

chiragon ko aankhon me mehfooz rakhna;
badi door tak ghani raat hogi,
musafir ho tum bhi, musafir hain hum bhi
kisi mod par fir mulaqaat hogi...

aadab arz hai...

keep writing :)
