FOR TRISTAN



Standing at the stone cold hallway

Looking at the unfamiliar people passing by

My attention was focused on you... scrutinizing

Your gait, like top models do

New days arrived and again



As I glanced furtively

The face of yours was as white

Like snow in the wintertime

The lips of yours were as pink

As the petals of roses in bloom

My sky, darker than black



Was filled with twinkling stars

The moaning moon learned to smile

Even a rainbow added with extra hues

Of silver and gold appeared during those nights

Posh? No you were not



Still - I liked you

You were the one who stultified me



I felt and bore the pain

Yet a love was locked inside my heart

Suddenly, I was ready to subvert the things



The rules and the like this world

Has formulated since the dawn of time

To the hegemonic order you all suck!

Though you were my mere illusion



I wished I was gifted with a magic

My fantasy would had transformed into reality then

My friend had commented - obsession!



But did the world know why I felt such?

And before the finale comes,



Revelations should be unleashed

Realization struck me greater

Than the fiercest force of lightning

With the deafening roar of thunders

River of tears began to flow out from my eyes



The same genre both you and I belong

A million times I asked myself why

But the answers were not written in the stars

Not even in the midst of the crystal ball

The whole world might condemn me yet



My heart still insists to love you...

But everything has its own beginning

Its ending would inevitably come

Sure as the sun rises in the east

And in the late afternoon sets in the west.
