My Perfume
Love's essence turned into vapour
And flew into a bottle of perfume,
Wear me,
Said it,
As it sunk deeper into the glass bottle,
Taking in its shape
Moulding itself with it!
Wear me
Every single day of your life
Wear me
As
Someday,
It shall all be over!
Life shall sparkle with stardust
And universes
Which the human mind can conceive not
Will paint themselves
In the cosmos
Merely
To have you amazed and cheerful
As kids are
At Christmas time!
Wear me
As you wake up
And face the day,
Dark and broody
As stones fall from clouds!
Wear me
As you gaze at vipers
And return their sweet smile!
Wear me
As you walk
Barefoot
On paths on which nails
Have been planted!
Wear me
As I am here
To remind you
That life on Earth
Remains a punishment!
Here,
You shall have to keep struggling
Regardless of what happened before
You shall have to keep suffering
As such is what the skies willed for you
And,
If you claim to love them,
Then,
Wear me
And accept it all
With a smile
As,
Like my fragrance
Everything else shall last only for a while!
