Poem 37 : A paradox unyielding

In the midst of uncertainty

Called life, I wandered all over

Without the sense of purpose,

Purpose to desire.

You came along the way

Like a oasis in the vast

Enormity of hopelessness

Spread across this barren inner side.

With the new fragrance

Of hope, my spirits rose

To conquer the sweetness

Of a paradox called love.

I swam and swam

With every last elements

Of buoyancy, I had, to

Float on the seas of

Murkiness beneath

Then at last, my strength

failed, my spirits

dissolved, my hopes

vanished as you went away.

I was left again,

All alone with No purpose,

no desire and an abysmal fear

loomed over me again.
