The Confused Phase
The Confused Phase
---------------
My definition of love
The happy kind
Was just an illusion
Created by mind
There is no happy ever after
Not in this life
Only the fairy tales
Which are nothing but lies.
You are tempted to believe
That flowers bloom for you
The birds sing for you
Wind blows for you
When you are happy,
Everything looks new
Bright and shiny
Even the worst day feels full of hope
Happiness in the heart
A spring on your steps
A smile on your face
A lightness of burden
The same old boring life
Seems more interesting
A life worth living
With the addition of a liitle love
When you believe in Love
You feel your heart is whole again
You are a new person
Whom nobody can defeat
The little warmth of love
Spreads like a glow
Till it lights up your face
And every little thing you do
You long for the closeness
Talking about nothing and everything
Or just staying quietly lost in dreams
Walking on clouds, every step a bounce
The friendship is very dear
And with that a little care
Few tender words
A loving embrace.
Small gestures of love
Goes a long way
To make the knees go weak
And the heart beat a rhythm of love.
Suddenly the lightning strikes
And in that harsh light
The worst nightmares come true
Destroying the illusion.
Reality intrudes the dream
Responsibilities, pulling us back
Tying our feet
Not able to move forward
Heart longs to love
But something stops it
The reminder that
Our life is not ours.
We travel through an endless tunnel
Dark and scary - all alone
Carrying the burden of life
Without any support
Is there a light at the end of the tunnel?
I can hope, cant I?
That is what pushes me forward
That hope and my love.
