pay and take away

your eyes once hallmarked

nascent unread chapters,

my tears now resemble 

antique , aged lessons,

the age of love counts

weights ,seasons, years, 

and dies one day counting 

wounds , bloods and spears,

these dark-pitched timbres

send you essays in waves,

now imagine when i place my 

finger and piano misbehaves,

"still, mountains are waiting,

tulip gardens are elating,

ice sheets stopped skating,

rides in vintage cars saying,

kisses on yacht cascading,

oasis in sands ceased fading,

trust me , they all are calling,

why two birds lived promising?"

you can't unpin magic of poison,

i am still playing with toy gun,

breeding bumpers of allergies,

i'll send you ulcers and tragedies,

switching your inculcated beliefs,

you're eager to paint me in motifs,

pay me back in kind,

my witty, wicked version,

my innocence of suburban,

my exiled eternal exertion,

please come , take away 

your submerged assertion,

your quintals of burden ,

your blood-written sermon.

it turned out our 

the hardest goodbye,

hearts left wrenched 

till our last life hereby.
