The Point of No Return

About life and its many ways, I do feel so bothered Life and its norms have never been that which I preferred See, I live not like a social outcast Rather, I do not care to see the shadows and the glows which life does cast Yes, I have reached a point from which I shall never return I have reached a point, yes, the point of no return Pray, a choice it has been A choice whose aim is not to be socially seen Yes, I have chosen to cater solely to my duty My duty and my passion for poetry My duty, being my mission on this Earth And my poetry, being but a reward for my faith! Yes, I have chosen to indulge only in thus The rest I do see as being merely a fuss A fuss being but a result of the expanding power of the Maya A fuss, threatening to be, at any time, the cause of mundane dementia! Why, I shall live as long as I can, as a Queen, one leading always a tango A tango with the ways of life's puzzles, a tango, sensual and slow A tango, being but my reactions to this world's empty meanings A tango, being the way I react to this world for being so confusing! Yes, a point I have reached Of spinsterhood I do now preach Pray, it shall be tough to have me change my decision For the pleasures of this world, I do see as being made of derision Life and its cause, I do find rather, in those books of holiness Life and its cause, I do feel for rather, by admiring the skies Life and I are already in a relationship A relationship, whose seeds, at a specified time, I shall reap! Yes, I am standing firm at the point I am I am standing firm even if none do see my point I am standing firm even if the world sees me as one so different I am standing firm, for what is here, does never last! Of this point I have reached, pray, do take note For such has allowed me to glimpse of the heavenly gate Such shall allow me to see what I dream of now Someday, when my time here shall be seen as late! 5 Dec 2016
