Relationship is a poison always!
Some are harsh -
You understand quickly
That it is a poison
With a bitter taste!
Some are sweet -
By the time you realise
That it is a slow acting poison
The damage is already done!
Society and her agents
Have always sold you lies -
They never revealed to you
The real form of relationship!
Since they were themselves
Trapped in the timeless torture
And could not want you
To be Free of Pain...
That they were shown a vision
Distorted by a mossy glass,
So, they themselves served you
Poison filled sugarcoated pills!
This ship seldom shows a mirror
Hence, they could not see
What they truly are,
And what they have become!
And you too have entered
The homely house of cards
Looking like a chocolate hut,
That was a maze of hazards!
So, my advice if you seldom ask,
Is to stay away from that urge,
But, if you have already entered
Then learn patience, let love emerge.
The purpose of life I know not,
But, however fateful it might be,
We need to win over all those
That drive us nuts...
Of the trinity of the universe -
Those tendencies or qualities,
Of the good, the bad, and the ugly,
Of birth, sustenence, and of death,
Life seems a lesson to be learned
On an unending path towards light,
Where the sun burns bright
At the horizon, like a mirage might!
