Roses Ecrase (Crushed Roses)

Like a tune without a bouquet of words,
Feeling crushed beneath the impeccable curse.
One merciless stone killed both the birds,
One broken soul sacrificed everything, but its words.

It seemed like a perfect love,
Filled with the words of beauty, others could never show.
An unordinary story of an endless “worship”,
Waiting to get tinted in a vivid golden script.
Miles apart but the story still lived,
Inching forward slowly, but not many believed.
With the speed of light, the delusions ran high,
Shadowed the reality’s ever blackened sky.
But the soul was numbed by the everlasting severance,
From the “One” far across the ocean seven.

There she stood, an angel of the “Other” heaven,
Close to thy eyes, trying hard to drown my delirious high.
The heart sang the words for her,
Mystified self asking me the question why?
A shocking reality now I faced,
Altered “Love” threatening to disgrace.
Faced with a judgment too hard to swallow,
Crush the two “Roses”,
Or
Let their thorns fill me with Hollow.

The punishment was due,
For thy soul had refused to face the truth.
Slowly sniffing out the breath,
Of the thoughts now filled with deep regret.
The petals of love, I pluck them out,
And crush them muffling their pleading shouts.
Only a silent distance
&
The long lost friendship prevails, it stands tall,
As I bury them beneath the unsaid bouquet of dreams,
Everything fails to exist but the Reminiscence remains…
