Unsung Hymn

Constantly I sang the tunes
Of riddles and mazes in rhyme
With burning desire to seek,
Why I am what I am.

Hidden in assumed faces
In a world beyond reality
Where each one plays a part
As each fairy tale unfolds.

Could I possibly have,
A moment of contemplation
If reality exists,
In this world of illusion.

Here, in the dim path ways
Of intertwined kaleidoscopic thoughts
I come across those eyes that reflect
My unknown realities’ mirror.

Shed into light by searching tunes
Embedded in the laughter of serenades
Its silent power opened the inner eyes
To end my quest for understanding.

And there you were,
My beacon of soul who stirred
To life long-buried cries from the ocean
Of anguish echoing deep longings.

A child’s lamentation beneath
A mind of steel, cloaked
With indifference amidst praises
Of adoring eyes from well-wishers.

Then finally in full circle
Quest came to end, the search is over
My own enigma came to light, at last!
Born from the depths of your eyes.

A lonesome child lost in the cold
Battling the tide struggling to stand
To overcome the storms, rising
With each passage of time.

Didn’t I know a fragile child
Lies deep within a nurturer’s heart
The unsung hymns now, I could sing
The truth in your eyes brightly reflecting.

Time Passing

Did I just said,
to forget the rhymes
Yet here I am-to
scrawl reasons.

Strokes will draw
the lines and words
to complete the canvass
you sketched.

Yet, looking up ahead
I see- plains of nothingness,
and bluish gray horizon blessed
with unknown sights.

Today is gone, but
time keeps on to wish for
uncertainty to roll as time-
keeps on passing.
