The
Perfect Illusion
It all started
when I cracked a job abroad,
Lauding my
happiness, you gulped a silent-nod.
Forsaking your
apprehensions, stood by my side,
Wearing a
massive smile, the sorrows you couldn't hide.
Future was
indeed surreal when you held my hand,
Only to fade,
your wishes were now being written on sand.
The increasing
stash at bank was a useless chunk of pie,
Your heart
screamed in vain, silently watching our prime years fly-by
Searching for an answer, your face
hung in gloom
"Would I be able to re-start my
career soon ?"
"My degrees lay mounted, with the
medals hung upon a wall
Trapped in a qualm, each day I see myself
fall..!"
"Crashing from the heaven,
falling on a barren land,
Standing on the edge, I'm still
looking for a magic wand."
I know you
wanna break-free and again feel young.
Drown yourself
in the lustre of ballads you once sung.
To reach the
pinnacle of success you long deserve
And achieve
the glory, yet holding your nerve
Let go all
your blues and embrace the divine view
For now, a
sweet li’l kid reminds of a mother in you.
His fluent
talks prove your perseverance to the core,
For every new
feather in his cap, it’s you who SCORE..!
And the same
goes with me darling, I ain't no knight
The accolades
I win are ONLY a result of your infinite might.
Toiling thru
the day, you've raised the bar on the stage,
An epitome of
patience and a symbol of courage.
Just a matter
of time,
Until I see
you shine.
Donning
a coat, redefining the science we once knew
The
whole world would cheer and look up to you.
Until that
time, I have something for you to cope,
Not a mere
word, it’s a bag full of "HOPE"
My Love,
You're the sole reason we stand strong,
Hustling thru
Life, kicking the beat all-along.
And it won’t
be long, before we bid the final adieu,
Some great
memories to cherish, Uncle Sam would surely moo.
