After a session of intense love making,
they concluded, life is a dreamy walk,
through hazy days and smoky nights.
In days of youth, passing through, intense yearnings,
body is in a flight, often,
to reach the unreachable, with no sense of the real.
Having no wings,
body has to inevitably accept defeat,
she pants and gets up, he too with a sense of loss.
The night has at last quiet moments
they hold hands,with innocence,
of unspoiled kids, lust laid to rest, for now,
and then, as days pass they slowly realize,
stillness of spirit holds secrets,
more valuable than all the riches.
*Life, now they come to think,
is a self immolation,
a sacrifice every being passes through;
on a slow fire of logs,
love, lust, hate and greed,
ambitions and desires that
become ash as day progresses,
some splinters of scented wood, sandal is very rare,
the rest cheap ones, that would turn carbon and ash.
