Keep On Living As You May Please

While the clock ticks
The time flies with its wings
High above beyond our reach
Taking with it the words we’d spoken
With strict no return policy

Pointed arrows of words we shoot
From the bow of our lips
Knowing it’s piercing through the spot
Tender; where it bleeds the most
With no remorse or regret

Wounded we leave behind
That no blood ties can heal
As water is thicker than blood
What once was in our childhood
The love in abundance, now seems to be dead

Circumstances bring changes in life
With new sparkling ties
New beginning with a new family
Only to leave old book of family behind
With the thick cover of dust
And trap food for mites.

Change is a natural phenomenon we need to embrace
Life is everything but static
Successes and failures we come across
Of hopes and dreams our childish eyes had once seen
With all the loving care and support
But only not to be included in the celebrations in life

Smiles that were given
Gift of laughter that was rendered
The promises made were kept
With nothing asking in return
But only to read and learn
The most important chapter of loyalty
The chapter you’ve conveniently skipped & forgotten

May what comes in one’s life
Clock doesn’t stop ticking
Time flies higher with its wings
Holding the book of our deed in its beak
For perfect record keeping

So, you live on as you may please
Let the colorless water run through your veins
When you’ll turn around to see your loved ones
Your eyes might have to meet the emptiness
With your voice echoing in the darkness of loneliness

Go on, keep on living as you may please..
