from the distance that you see the light
will be yours -
from the distance that you dream
will be yours ;
in woodlands where senescent night breeds
and lies awake like cascading lava rills,
on a broad road highway where with wizened eyes
the moon starts gazing with a lover’s sight,
come lets stroll until we stride;
at the end of the liquescent highway lies our path
where the other morning had built a similar structure
but without form and had called us to have a look
in tremulous lights where only heart could sight
and till we see, come lets walk till we stride;
my city will watch as we pass, by the houses beside
in torn clothes and messed hairs but crystalline face
and mutter and whisper tales of our love to their lover,
with blood on our hands we will reach the weir
and till we reach, come lets walk until we meet;
and when at the site our eyes would meet
with shame the dim lake will breathe -
and ablution of our sin will surely concern
the existence of ghoul haunted seer
and till they learn to live, lets walk still;
from the distance that you saw the light
will then be yours -
from the distance that you dreamt
will then be yours;
the heart that had bled yearning
will then be yours - - -

are we born of dreams of nature?
I see this path that we take are all the same, our ideals differ, but more than ideals, our touch differs, our partners differ, but our love is the same. a veiled existence from humanities darkest sins. We rise.
A good one bro.
Its more like a haunting parable about our troubled modern moment ..
Wow! I am beyond words with this one Alok - it really struck a chord.
I love how you began and ended this. Hypnotizing.
what we see is same, but it also have sights of different minds from every corner of this universe. when thinking about night moments it gives some romance in it, i feel same reading this.
Wonderful writing alok.
You have such a way with words, Alok. They dances before my eyes and create such vivid pictures.
You are blessed,
Thank you for sharing
