MIRAGE OF HAPPINESS
Under the dark clouds through the heavy rains,
the train is running in it's speed on rainy tracks.
The glance outside the window is equally dense,
as the silence of inside, but suddenly it cracks.

On the station a young woman stepped inside,
and sat in his front bringing surprise to both the eyes.
Flashes of lightning struck along a far hill side,
and made both of them look towards the skies.

His deep heavy voice dispels the fog of silence,
asking her present and brings her from past.
But their past slowly sneaked in the ambience,
that now appears, throughout the journey, to last

Rain was deluging the day when they first met,
and that first sight in her thoughts began to reign.
When she first looked him with her eyes that were wet,
appeared an elf looking into him through a pane.

They came close to each other days after days,
breezing intimacy to one another's mind and heart.
She began to position her at zenith in her says,
in the tides of ardour in affection on his part.

But the course of life brought a passion in him,
to bring world's every comfort to his home.
All his won relations on earth started to dim,
but he was still swimming in a wealth's tome.

Looking quietly at the water laden open ground,
he tells, "To be home the palace is still thirsty".
"One day you will find a home in that mound",
she answers in a voice that sounds to him dusty.

Replies he, "I tried to fill rich hues in your life,
so that sailing high on clouds you rule this world."
Says she, "Still today I respect your efforts in rife,
but in the sail, with me, you were never furled".

"I spent numerous lonely nights waiting for you,
and wishing at sunrise your stretched arms' call.
When questioned about your absence I never flew,
but told rightly how hard you work standing tall."

Darkness had long paved the way to evening light,
but the wheels still appear the same chant to make.
As her destination comes after the journey of night,
she utters her final words in the morn, for his sake.

"Today you fit great to the place where you stand,
and the palace will become your dream home soon."
From behind the clouds sun is touching the land,
through fragrant earth the train again began it's tune.
