Fascade

One moment was I - right by your side
Oblivious to all - just watching you smile
Your voice formed words, I cared not what
For all I could feel was your warmth beside

Fore I knew time passed, I was seated in the noise
My hitherto active mind rendered so eerily calm
Even the jerk from the takeoff didn't shake me right
I was now deaf to the sound, Blind from my sight

I looked down now, betwixt the soaring skies
Above vibrant clouds, beauty holding back lies 
Then - my heart lurched, my mouth a soft sigh
I was sucked back from vacuum, tumbled the sounds

My mind tries to tell me - its but a short relapse
But my heart holds on - fast in its sweaty clasp
To the last soft echoes of your warm quaint voice
Unable to set you free, to let out of grasp

But aye, I know it is but a solemn little trait
Of the muddled heart to never ever lose faith
And yes I know-I 'll wait with the hope inside
For the moment when you'll be back by my side

tHE InTERlude

Interlude

The blue skies lingered clearer than ever,(6:12 PM)
Not a trace – nay, not even a single cloud…
Life so perfect doth sometimes conceal,
Unknown, unseen – Horrors be-held within…

The calm warm sun, glistening in the sky,
Did seem to smile – so soft, benign…
Then betwixt hidden the fine lines unseen,
The smile did now mock, an eerie glee…

The soft grass that did tickle my toes underneath,
Gave way to solid floor, coarse and cold to the touch…
Whoosh… blew along a deep ice-bled wind…
Fore I knew, all had changed – the world in transit…

As I saw the wave of the unforeseen times flow by…
Did I wonder if I’d been fooled by a mere farce…
For within the phase of a passing interlude…
Had I engulfed my present in a fickle mirage??? (6:35 PM)
