The broken strings in my violin
Had only played intone within
Stultifying melancholy tune
That even bored my self within
But now…
I hear a pounding within
And fascinate as a ravishing dream
I thaw in its mesmerizing beats
And fetter myself in that fatigue
Oh! Is it as if the mischief?
Of ocean waves which surge and surf
Oh! Is it as that serenade?
Of that cuckoo in my backyard
You see me float in fizzing surf
As if my scarf in scarlet shade
I glide over those lovely waves
As if the way to my life bliss
But…I am ignorant to sense
The force of firth that fizz the waves
I am unaware of source
To spot the tide which took to flight
But, …I knew in that charming float..
The truth that tag the knot in life
But…
Those ripples required nothing
But only a single moment
To fizz, to romp, and coax to laugh
And embrace the heart to surf tears
Those ripples required nothing
But again a single moment
To unlace and shove apart
And abstain it from being
What shall I?
Believe it, a dream?
Or believe in the being?
