Divergence

I close my eyes and I see you here,

I try to touch you but you disappear,

I open my eyes with a sigh of grief,

Crying for just a moment of relief...

I wish I hadn't let you go out of that door,

And now I wish we could have so much more,

But maybe our fate had already rung the alarm,

And now you are in my heart but not in my arms...

With your presence my life was like a paradise,

And your absence makes it worse than hell,

Once a beautiful spring has transformed into a harsh winter,

And now even this world seems to be a prison's cell...

I still remember the first time we met,

I was so nervous to talk to you,

Your enslaving beauty had left me out of words,

And it felt like there's no one else but us two...

Those nostalgic memories still bring a tear of joy to my eyes,

They make my tender heart so numb,

Although I have a heart in my chest,

It says that it doesn't want to pump...

There you are, going in front of my eyes,

Going away with our memories too,

To a new place, starting a new life,

But never forget, someone here is living just for you!

The Inevitable Truth!

Our journey begins from the time we are born,

And continues till eternity,

So every moment we live is a gift,

And then comes to our door the inevitable mortality...

But what I feel is that this whole is an illusion,

And death is the only truth,

Because life comes with no guarantee,

But Death comes for sure, whether kind or rude...

This world is a place of immortals,

As each and every soul here will take an exit someday,

The life after death is what will remain forever,

But what's that life? No one can say...

Life can be fair or unfair to us,

But we all are equal in Death's eyes,

Maybe we can succeed in cheating our lives,

But nothing works in front of Death, no truth, no lies...

From the time we are born each day brings us closer to Death,

Or maybe the Death starts coming closer and closer,

And when we complete our role in the drama called life,

Death arrives to tell us that our time on this earth is over...

So let's use our wisdom and make the best of our lives,

Because no one knows our next birth is towards which way,

Take everything that you can from life,

Because when life starts taking back, it even takes your breath away...
