Moist misty words
Emerging from the darkness of the lone night,
Cast rainbow colours on the canvas bright.
Torrential tears dissolve pain from the past
Shadows of deceit fall apart
Mystery unfolds from the black blanket of myth and lie
Long craved the reptiles deaf and dead
For living the life of a butterfly.
Gong of grief still beats around high and low
From the thirsty eyes of the abandoned bond,
Obsolete love endlessly flows.
Gusty gale blows away the cold silence
Pink angels dance again,
On the sombre terrain in exuberance.
And, the voyage begins for the horizon new
Foot-prints of the crumbled time hence fast flew.
