~Dilemmatic Tentativeness~

In the tentativeness of life,

the cherished desires vanished,

As if, someone has stolen the shining

stars from the starlit night…

What a dilemmatic life it has been since,

Why’re we forced to keep languishing in life

Though we always lived so happily

every moment of the life,

We even felt intimately close after

being away from each other.

Never did we complain to each other,

Always buried the past in oblivion,

Everyday awakens a new dream in the eyes

Though, we may have some indecisiveness

like a stinging dagger inside;

Eyes would get moist when travelled

down those memory lanes

One can never remove those lasting

memories indelibly etched in the heart,

Though the life wouldn’t change now,

since the past can never be undone

We may have an urge to cry,

even burst our emotions out,

But, it’s better that we keep our

tongues tightly sealed for ever

Since reticence is the best answer…

~Pravin Raghuvanshi
