APOCALYPSES

"Man in the mirror says: “If you think you’re going nowhere, I’ll take you there” 

Last night…

There was a silver lining in the sky

Separating darkness from the light

The moon shone bright

All stars twinkled to their might!

Next morning…

Witnessed an early rise

A mirror framed my size

That image uttered in self-assured voice

“If you think you’re going nowhere, I’ll take you there”

Sudden adrenalin rushed through the gates of alibis!

I wore the shoes for the sport

Hit my heart on the road

To translate the aforesaid quote

To cogitate the wordless notes

To decipher my mind’s code

Again I look up to the skies

My heart skipped a beat

The very moment got paralyzed

I saw the brightest star shining bright

To light my way as IPod rejoiced! (Baby, baby, baby… light my way – U2)

Summing up all the signs

Now or never, asked the time

I chose ‘now’ to break the rhyme

That always lay quiescent on my peculiar shrine

I don’t promise, I’ll do

Rest is for the hands of divine

To define my being

These stars may be realigned!
