Is Love only a mirage?

Swaying in the whirlpool of emotions,

love and fidelity, deception and betray,

cares and concerns, passion and peace,

felt so wretched and desperate,  

I shouted a silent cry to you,

‘stop this overpowering current!

Show me the depth that I sought always,

And make me whole as your before

the only truth that prevails in my life
I know it's You…’

Yet, drenched in love so wishful, 

My soul again outcry a yearn so wild  

‘No! I don’t want to be shackled,

Don’t want to be restrained,

It’s the heart that needs to be heal,

Let me drown and drown deep,

hold me tight in your broad embrace,

Raising me high over all that cares,

Make me whole as only yours…'

Emotions that make and unmake heart

Kindled the fire that dampened down long ago

can purified me again Or can burn me into ashes.

Is Love only a mirage? or it’s the unquenchable thirst…

Yet the bliss is always there,
Even in the slightest glimpse;
Even in the deadliest pain.
