When the first ray of dust,
Made love to the last drop of rain,
A rainbow breathed,
In the shades of grey.

A million hours of togetherness,
Thirty seconds of love.
A lifetime of burning memories,
And only a breath to make us part.

I tread that path now and then,
Making my way through leaves uncrushed.
Bleeding as I walk over,
Some diamonds scattered in the dust.

Memories’ the only undying flame,
Amidst trickling tears,
And a cold beating heart,
A friend I have lost today.

Now as I stare at the black expanse,
Into the ocean of nothingness,
As  I sink and melt onto hopes  unknown,
I feel the wind curling down.
After heaving a few more sighs,
I realize,
Those   foot prints that we left behind,
Are gone, lost in the sands of time.
