THE REALIZATION

Nothing would be change, buddy

Continuation is the synonymous

Of life, my presence among the

Constellation of stars was a nebula,

It would be faded in light of dawn,

Soapsuds carry the tiny rainbows,

In extreme flow bubbles turned

To zero, vacuity waits since genesis,

Unknown is the end of breath,

Vague spot has no certainty to meet

Again in a beautiful turning point,

We looked jointly the dream of bliss,

In the mist, and lit the candles of

Emotion, tried to defend from the

Wind, the gap of fingers sometimes

Betrayed too, some moments of love

Were pigeons, endeavored to keep

Those near to heart, but it had flown!

Enthralled palms unfolded naively,

Hands lingered empty as the destiny,

Nothing was the matter of proud,

Shared a little of pain or happiness in

The life, probably self-approval was

More, difficult was to leave egotism,

At least tried to love some others too,

Experienced a miracle in willingly

Defeat, before ambitious, innocent

Faces, it’s unlike might be but given a

Hidden happiness, receded the envy,

A realization to feel the pain of your

Heart, emotion didn’t care the meaning

Of self-existence, nobody has seen

Wet eyelashes under the spectacles,

This feeling never let me to die, that

I love to see only the face of smile!
