Blowing Balloons

BLOWING  BALLOONS

           Balloons blown
           fully swollen
          with dreams, aspiration and ambition
           in multi colours of determination.
          from very childhood
          in frolic playmood.

      Balloons of pride galumphed
              on conquest and triumph
              in youth: Arrogant and aggressive,
                 devoted- diligent-decisive.
                               Gas-balloons of gluttony
                                   to surpass monotony
                                                 burst sudden
                                                        relieving burden.
         
            Huge hued balloons of dormant desires to hold,l¡
           being overconfident and perfect bold,
            yet unaware  of  air leakage
              through holes of passing age.
            
              Fattened  bulged balloons
              turned flat shrunk late or soon.
                 Got fused in senile damage,
                  Not to inflate ! Beyond usage.

                Time is over  completing race.
                 Lived with balloons ! Now leave in grace.
