Sleepless Nights

Exploring secrets of the enigmatic veiled nature ,
And enthusiastically glorifying strange ways of 
almighty,
I traversed as a liberated soul.

Until you stepped into my life and stole my 
thunder,
And stood invariably at the receiving end,
Kept me on the horns of dilemma.

That extravagant obsession that I now detest,
Conferred me countless sleepless nights,
Where I kept counting stars in the sky.

Nature repairs her ravages, but not all,
Uptorn trees are not rooted again, parted hills left 
scarred,
No thorough repair to the eyes that have dwelt in 
the past......... in those sleepless nights !!
