Loveless Life For Ageless Love

Posted: Aug 27, 2009 Thu 02:38 am     Views: 211    Interacts: 5

We are built
to be eroded
with the blows of time.

Now when I lose a piece
here or a chunk there,
I hold it tight, the treasure of

love, kept in the safety of heart
sealed with ego;

you don't hand time
the stilettos of your lashes
to exhume it.

Preserved, this love
will mock the vicious ways
of our fate,

that crumbs us to death
after luring us to life.

@banjara286 .. what if the heart itself is in the striking range? thats where preserving 'love' from the blows of time becomes the most difficult of tasks ..

the blows of time can be devastating indeed. but r we built to be eroded? with a sanctuary like our heart that no cruelty can permeate and subdue?

i wonder ...

Aadil,

Absolutely hearwrenchingly beautiful! One of your best in my eyes!

'stilettos of your lashes'

I can't seem to get over that line and verse! It will spin and encircle me, this peom for a while...and many many others of this I am sure.
