The Last Lullaby
She enclosed a stormy heart and a summer soul
craving her way through the darkest enclaves
strolling her way through her doubtful fogs
leaving them behind, but did she know?
This is a wild goose chase,a wild forest of creeps
deepens the fears of the weak and threatens the strength of the might
but she kept going, for it was that old song leading
That song! that radio song of 1959.
She followed and followed and the dusk was falling
she believed she would find it, but did she know? it wasn't that old winter fog?
I wanted to tell her, all i had learnt about this age from the west,
to let her know that its no more a land of dreams and flakes
to tell it it isn't her choice to lead on and slog
for the dreams she had once believed were long and long gone
i tried...trust me i did...i screamed...intensity elevating with the hopeless heart pounding
Shouting and running i ran behind her, touched her wind,her mighty wind
it slashed the failing heart that i had saved inside.
i pulled her,,,trying to bring her back..but there she was,,not caring even for this broken lad
i begged her to wait to just turn and see..atlast............she turned saving me from the fallen heap
she turned and looked..........................i can't explain how magical she was!!!
full of life...and oh those sparkling dreamy eyes!.
i looked and looked ..kept staring at her will..
but then she touched my chest and the hopeless heart seemed beating!
Trying to soothe the wounds that had long been befallen...
"You have courage to protect this heart....let the beat lead you to the aspirations of that night..
Go where it takes...but leave the fears with me....love with it all....but drown the doubts that you achieve............
and i promise.....when the day comes ,for, heart to stop and rest forever...
the radio will play the same song that once made your heart restless and fierce
... but that day my love...it will be the last lullaby ,
for the memoirs of these deeds will enchant your dreams forever!
