LOOKING FOR ANSWERS

Love comes whispering through the alleys of time,
It touches the heart and fills the hours together.
I wonder if I am drowned in the surges of these emotions,
And lost in confusion, I start presuming, and believing…
I know not if my believing is worth it-
I know not if I am right or so many others are-
I am dazed and puzzled and have a hard time,
As I shred and analyze each and every passing moment.
Or is it right not to try to explain anything?
And just let the feelings take their course?
Unanswered questions come popping up….
And I grope for answers in the hours and minutes and seconds….
Time now and time future overlap and interfere
And the answers prove to be as vague as the questions are….

I CHOOSE NOT TO......

I choose not to fall in love.

It tries and tortures your mind,
It pains your heart and devours your soul,
And leaves you a frail weak creature,
Crawling and gnawing at bits of life.

I choose not to expect love.

It leads you to the edge of despair,
It brings out the treasured tears,
And you are left a destitute,
Grabbing and groping for the ruins of hope.

UNCERTAINTY

A new tomorrow awaits me with new hopes and desires-
I wish to take a leap in time to find myself there…
The hand that I wish to clasp is so far away from me,
Elusive and distant is the face I wish to see!
Will he? Shall I? The questions come rushing……
The answers are unknown and blurred
In the misty alleys of future.
