Quicksand of Despair

My wandering eyes won’t find a shelter
I was lost in a deep Jungle
There were flowers, trees, fruits and water
But my heart was too busy with itself to mingle

Tread the path in trance, where would I be?

Solitude was shrieking loud within me
And outside the chaos was so calming
The sun over my pale skin shining

A charming ray pierced through my eyes

And I wake up to realize the truth that underlies
He was the one whom I waited for
He was the one whom I longed for

We both were happy in our ways, dreams were slain

Separate paths, then how did we meet again?
A little seed was put to rest deep inside
Then today why our heart refuses to abide

I still remember, every time I passed by him,
we looked at each other
A quick glance, a tender smile
But to say a single word we didn't bother.
Our gaze turned to hi and hello.
Talks were nothing but few and mellow

We came together as destiny wished
Hesitant first but curious within
Grin became a smile
And Smile took us miles

Slowly & gracefully we unwound
A good friend in each other we found
We talked we chatted we shared
Not a single moment did we spare

This time I was clung to it, I was drawn to it

I grew, I blossomed, I was a creeper, I was living through it
Winding it, embracing it, feeling alive each moment
Dreams were woven but, with a silken thin thread

And then the thread ran thin, I slipped,

To my horror, in the warm marshy land
I can’t control myself, please lend me your hand
I tried, I fought, I struggled but I got sucked

I could see you feeling my pain

You went pale, your face drain
But, all you can do is stand and stare
As I quietly disappear in the quicksand of despair
