Pages
Leaf by leaf through the pages of life
Searching for that something amiss
Longing for the eluding bliss
Through the maze of childhood
Into the amazing youth
Those puerile tiffs for toffees
To the juvenile jarring
For pertly sirens
And witless wagers
From menacing days of mid-age vices

Countless are the twists, tales and trauma
Slicing through the silence and stalemate
At times scaling gaiety and euphoria
Often drowning in ennui and misery

Lost in smokescreen of past at last
Unwinding in waves of reverie
Pouring dropp by drop

Drenching my senses
In shudders of ecstasy
Love, have and disgust bubbling out
Through the pores of sanity
That remained unchanged but entrapped
In life-long charade
Leading my way to the mystic

Leaf by leaf through the pages of life
I hurtle back in time
Fearing the ominous doom
Before HIS reign
As marauder of sin
Making sure what is lost forever
Counting on the remnant boon
Whence arises from all that chaff
The grain of divine
Sprouting from the soil of virtue
That grows on nectar of love
And survives of holy bliss
Heartening me from inside
To traverse upright
