Relationship is a poison always!

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!
