That Was Then This Is Now

That was then this is now What an irony that was then this is now Our silences never felt scarcity of words And now we search our lost silence In our heated conversations With love we placed our stares On each other's faces To guard them When the shafts of sun Came to steal sparkles from them To enlighten this world of gloom Footprints in our hearts That our love had designed Are slowly fading away with angry tides crashing on shores Slowly hold of silken love strings Is slipping from our lacerated hearts Bleeding by the aim of dart our words aimed Our romantic long walks are reversing To return to our sombre home Home,that never was Until we erected roof of tender love To save from rain of ego Supine we shared dreams And with laughters morphed them to everlasting memories We drew on our gray slate With chalk of happy times But brontide slowly shortened distance To rumble in full flare Sleet then entered the cracks we hid from each other To trap our reflections in solitude mirror Faded as tints of yellow brick route after torrential rains Skylarks serenading it's love for spring of love Flew to hinterlands Uncountable adoring adjectives that our mute voices held Have all fallen In dungeon filled with darkness of ignorance 23/01/2019
