The Dark Side of Emotion
The Dark Side of Emotion
(Love never touched its lips, though it longed for destiny!)
You are gone, a forgotten episode left for me to see,
And still, I wake each day haunted by the chimes
Of your footsteps, echoing through time.
The air was heavy, fraught with doom, the day you left,
The clouds, once sleeping, turned to storms in the south.
At the thought of you,
The bones inside me freeze in an instant,
Never foreseeing such fierce turn in my life.
I lost myself, a wanderer like a parched bird,
Searching endlessly for your elusive presence.
Each moment passed now counts in your departure,
Every step you took ahead was a pain in my heart.
You left, not a glance behind,
And merchants ploughed your chest with their lust,
They robbed you and pierced the dreams you once held.
A long, winding path crossed the jungle
where you once walked,
And vanished from my sight forevermore.
You left no wealth, only a heart scarred and torn,
A heart wounded by the trident of time.
Thousands of precious days fell from the sphere,
Hours dropped like petals from the roses to the dust.
Everything passed so quickly, darkness after light,
Dreams linger still, untouched, unwrapped.
The new moon cast aside the sun’s rays from your brow,
A cruelty pierced your chest, your violet lips frozen,
Time has not forgiven you, a fragile flower with no bloom.
Every path leads to an end, and I am your final shore,
Still restless, waiting for a fortune now extinct.
