~ THE SUN… ~ 

☆ 

You may hide in a cool dungeon,

and name it dark – comfort

You may drape the cold in mesmeric words

But I call it an illusion…

You paint your face with

vanity and pretence

The Sun spares no paint

it melts the mask

Never do I seek shade

I stand where the

scorching Sun burns

Vertical

Blinding

Mercilessly

Under a ruthless Sun,

no lie ever survives

Only you remain raw,

unvarnished,

as naked truth…

☆

~Pravin Raghuvanshi
