☆ O’ Enigmatic Life…! ☆

☆

We are a huge shady tree that

is ever gratifying to the world,

Even, when felled and dried up,

it still is utile as firewood…

*

You must never ever throw away,

even the worn-out sheath of sword,

Who knows, tomorrow it may come

in handy to scare away the enemies…

*

Never ever sell your old run-down

house considering its debilitated state

Who knows sometime, it may turn out

to be your much needed sole shelter…

*

What’s the use of such a beauty that

just remains an object of yearning,

What’s the use of those poetic verses

that aren’t even worth reciting for…

*

Inflict me with such a deep wound

that never gets healed up in the life,

O’ Life! Give me such a perilous pain

that it becomes the medicine itself..!
