Where each subliminal moment
is awaited in anticipated glee

For it to be captured eternally,
...

Been so long ever since
for the stimulus to ignite

Caught in odd trivialities
...

Brief look at own reflection
was caught by familiar sight

Seemed none but my father
...

Streaks of tepid sunshine
with magical golden spell

Provoke latent indolence
...

Get branded as an oddity
to edicts I don't conform

Mundane most practices
...

Paths at times converge
then go a different way

However much is desired
...

Humblest of beginning
from where she came

Tasks she took upon
...

Undoing intricate complexities
one feels disoriented and lost

Panacea in past proffered,
...

Streets are akin to rivulets
for children with paper boats

Farmers in a bit of frenzy
...

Most seems pre ordained
celestially thus contrived

Time returns to bewitch
...

Nearly on the cusp
of what was embarked

Time to seek returns
...

Enough of verdant pastures
it is time now to explore

Dabble in realm of unknown
...

Don't mourn my brethren
in effect you must rejoice

The cause of contention
...

Amidst of joyous merriment
sitting lonesome in solitude

Own shadow as company
...

Unyielding past convictions,
reflect many an odd chink

Defying the palpable logic
...

Seemingly forever known
I did chance upon a face

Where I had known him
...

On face a sham normalcy but core filled with dread
At very cusp of no return can't help but go ahead

All deemed as pushover how ended up being otherwise
...

Been years four & sixty of being transiently around
A motley shaded canvas with varied hues abound

Journey's not been atypical, with winding long track
...

Indeed if I play the victim, can't feign but is a fact
Balance forever skewed, short changed not exact

Deprived of a fair share in an inequitable level field
...

One may as well play a victim,
lone persona being wronged

When choices were always open
...
