☆ Sand of Time… ☆

☆

It’s not that I have changed

grossly ever since you left

I am still the very same

ever since you departed..

*

If you think I am wrong,

then also you’re totally right,

Because you always happened

to be correct, customarily…

*

As such, I’ve a genetic lineage

with the dynasty of pain..

Incidentally, you also did

accentuate it, drastically…

*

I too want to celebrate the

life to its fullest extent…

But the sand of time is slipping

too fast through my hand..!
