Seduction of Life

662 views

Life is a series of small episodes. Each one with their own twists and turns. Some happy, some sad, some with plenty of drama and some as boring as anything you can imagine.

It is a series of ups and downs, joys and sorrows.

Happiness

sparkling thoughts like diamond
glitter inside this emotion less face,
illuminated by hope and a deeper
desire to live, they shine brightly;

listening to the voice inside
that is dying to come out,
I search for means
to keep myself sane!

I try to forgive and forget, but
memories cling on like leeches do;
how can I forgive,
when I can’t forgive myself!

out of the shadows and
into the sun, dreams and desires
come back alive, nourished by the
rays of hope I found within me!

as I dance around in this stage,
a million eyes watch my every move,
ready to pounce and devour
the moment I fall down!

it’s been a while
since I wanted to live,
now that I want to live
I am stuck at the starting line!

with no desire to enter into
this contest of survival,
I take a step, one at a time,
and live for the moment!

expectations weigh me down,
dreams leave me restless,
when life seduces you with happiness,
how can I succumb to
guile of the devil!
