Logicians of Romance

Optimisms in despair hone on a sound philosophy,

And play the fiddle between chance and romance-

While the invariable arguments protrude their heads,

To perplex a rickety brain as if and well in advance!

Weaving of thoughts seems to rot,

And embraces on everlasting loss-

Yet the renunciation convolutes hidden pleasures,

And acts like a rolling stone that gathers no moss!

 

From the moment we are born on this Earth,

The drifting rhythms of the life mesmerize us-

And the conjured dreams build their nests,

To harp and sway quietly without any fuss!

Embarkment on the apathetic frenzy baffles within eyes,

But assures the hue of rainbow mind with vote of thanks-

And reminds the childhood plays of the skipping pebbles,

About the circles on murky water broken against the banks!

 

 

Persuasion on the shores of pin drop silence

May become a symbol on the memory lane-

With a dialectic pride of immortal life under brooding moon,

In the coattails of a prophecy for peace, composed in my pen!

Wise Logicians may feel like a sealed cocoon,

But romance could cling for the year to come-

And break the hollow tides in memory oceans,

Lost in time beyond, not for all but for some!!!
