Tasteless Fruits

Written by Posted on Less than 0 min read

Success eluded him
When he needed it most
And was pursuing it
Like someone in love
Follows his beloved…

Success crowned him
When the chief reason
Why he had sought it
No longer existed in sight
To rejoice with…

So now for him
Success and failure
Remain like tasteless fruits
And neither of the two
Overwhelm nor enthuse.

Twilight Song

Way backIn a time spanA cyclonic stormOf the inborn instinctBlew and ripped apartThe sinless and pure loveThat budded and bloomedBetween two tender hearts.

Two octogenariansWrinkled body and faceBut young at heartTurning the tide of timeBarefoot, holding handsWalking together in blissLeaving footprints behindOn the wet sandCollecting seashellsOn a sacred beachOf the eastern coast.
