Decieved By Dreams
Her whispers walked into
my heart like whirlwind at
twilight,
each phrase turned to
solemn sentences like a
graveyard farewell.
Metalic words stirred the
cloud and melted into the
teardrops falling my skies,
''It's over, don't bother to
ask why,
you are a nice guy but...
goodbye!
She
muttered, with inane
innocence garnishing her
face she rendered
her lines, behind her sweet
smiles
are waves of words
popping out like missles.
The stars could not contain
the storm, they became
blurred at dusk, the
candlelight of our... first
night fell under the
fountain of fears,
the roof of our four year
old tower is being carted
away by the whirlwind.
I stammered like a lad that
finds it hard to learn his
mother tongue, the tears at
the gate followed each
words as they burst from
the hall
of hurts, '' this is is not fair
e e e enough,
You know ow ow I don't
deserve
this'' I blabbed.
Like the proverbial dog
deaf to the hunter's
whistle, she braised up to
respond,
twisting her tongue in a
kiss mode, and with the
same first smile that stole
my heart, she dealt the final
blow:
the bombs landed on my
heart safely and raised the
dust of
despair,
'' spare me those rhetorics,
I am
fed up, it's final, get that
into your
poetic skull''. She roared.
I sank into my sofa, as I
watch her shadow walked
out of the door.
Each teardrop left a
trail...my tongue got the
lion share of it's taste and
my pillow was not spared
by the
streams of tears.
Alas! The morning breeze
carressed my
lips, the orange sunlight
stole through the curtains,
I felt...her warm arms all
over me as I woke up to
find her right by my
side,with red roses all
around the bed.
It dawned on me, that I
never lost her after all. I
was drowned in a dream
of deciet.
