The Two Boulevards

I lay in the meadows so bright,
Feeling serene,
A feast of infinite blue for my eyes.
Finally, when I close my eyes,
I am a sea gull exploring the heights.
I wonder
If this life could be so simple,
As I wake up to realize
That I have got lines of issues in ample.
 With so many ambitions clouding my eyes,
Hunger for gold
Making me believe in all those lies.
I wonder where my fate hides,
As lies afore two boulevards
All covered with mist and fog.
It isn’t clear what lies beyond it
And now I have to choose one
Leading my life to the green meadows or a solitary, shadowy pit.
 

A Shoe With Untied Laces

 Today it’s finally over,

This ordeal of mine has proven its might

I stand my ground, smiling wryly

As the clouds of delusion that once hovered above me

Preventing the light

And the spell bounding me,

Now dismantle languidly.

 For so long I had waited for her

When she was finally found

It seemed that nothing else in this world would matter.

I knew I had fallen head over heels for her

But latter, confronted the truth only to let my hopes scatter.

 I was so preposterous

Whisking myself to heights

 Only to look down and realize my true plight

“That if I fall it’s surely going to be disastrous”.

And disaster is what happened

Something inside of me

Is now completely broken,

I wish it stays that way

Because I fear the same fate

If it recovers someday.

 Something about this pain is so serene

And now when I look back

I realize the places I have been.

When I float above

I see that it was all mist

For which I was so keen.

 I can now see how nonchalant its nature is

The more you try to grasp it

The more it flees.

What is left behind is just the traces of its presence

Which reminds me of a shoe with untied laces.
