CLOSE ENOUGH TO LOSE YOU

CLOSE ENOUGH TO LOSE YOU

the screens which seemed so pretty

moments ago

,

the incidences that were captured
with love, adore,
now, seem to dry into abysmal memories
left is desperate crick and furor,
to release the grip over grins and love
imbibed with humor and adore.

afraid to lose every morsel chewing up
since days archaic, and prospects turn vague,
care and cuddle since years till now
make it all resemble so slim, paper-thin and fake,
every pin of sentiments now erupt like enraged
volcano, i realize now, all these years i was at stake,
the instance i showed my love and friendship, all by myself
for myself, i was trying to cherish moments, all finesse.

till then, i thought you to be my closest
till walls broke down, i found myself shattered in places.
by now, i have got it well to know
the time i gave to you, would have surely reaped more,
instead of toying my emotions with you
if i would have heed to those, gesturing at the shore,
to make their memories cherish mine,
i would have never caught you close enough to lose you.
