Dead End Street

In the languishing life’s listless landscape,
the paved path along convolute contours of uncertainty,
winds undefined to the fading fringe of time future, 
beyond the perception of the toiling time present.

Away from the throb of the bustling life in galaxy glare,
in the somber path the stretched shadows of the past 
drape the cobblestones with dense darkness,
echoing the sigh of my broken dreams, I hear. 

The template of trampled time holds the debris of desire,
as I walk dismayed in the befuddled state of stupor,
following the invisible compass crafted for me 
by the supreme creator of the dormant destiny.

My twilight time is tinged by the garnet specks of spent sun,  
sinking down the horizon shrouded by discontent dust. 
With the cornucopia of the uplifting life unlived, 
I wander bewildered in the last mile of the blind alley.

As the sinister night of ebony despair engulfs me,
firefly of hope flashes with moonbeam filament, 
kindling lucent lines of lamps in the dark scary street, 
I toil to travel ruffled in the residual time.

I seek the benevolence of the almighty to guide me
in my search of the lighted path to the sublime sanctum
for my sanctified soul to reside in abode of bliss,
and to show me the way out of the dead end street.
