TORCH

For a penny less
My heart I have sold
I burn my friend
and call myself bold
I say I have faith
but still I do not believe
Bcoz all around I find
God has become blind
Yet I walked with a torch
as my eyes begged,
a bit of happiness to see.
My torch was extinguished
peace wasn’t meant to be
And all this time I wondered,
In the light…
How much i craved to be,

Now,

For an hour in the dark,

I wish, would be forever for me.

Religion is a way of LIFE, not of DEATH.

We are literate, its time we learnt.

“See you in an hour”
She said smiling.
Anticipation her
new love gifted.
“Will you marry me?”
He said. Sipping
wine she was
from her glass
“Let’s not let
this moment pass”

And it did not.
The hour never ended.
It was a Wednesday.
