The Silhouette - II

...And then the lights went dim,
And the Silhouette grew faint,
I scampered just to touch it,
I couldn't lose something so daint!

That silhouette of someone dear
Was what kept me on toe,
Never to give up
In every high and low...

That silhouette of someone dear
I lost in no time,
And now I sit and ponder,
Neither reason nor rhyme...

That silhouette of someone dear
Was what made me strong
And it's absence now tells me,
It was always I who was wrong...

That silhouette of someone dear
Kept me warm in cold,
Now I see the days
When the silhouette itself seems cold...

That silhouette of someone dear
Has moved Farther every instant,
And pinching my soul every moment,
Is how i let it get so distant...

That lost silhouette was dear,
It had made me relent...
That lost silhouette was dear,
And now i do repent...
That lost silhouette was dear,
Is now also a dear cost...
That lost silhouette was dear,
And i have finally realised - I LOST!

The Silhouette

Silhouette of someone dear,
Always walking by,
Unmoved, strong and warm,
Always been closeby...

Silhouette of someone dear,
Egging me on and on,
Cheerful, selfless, proud,
Standing from dusk to dawn...

Silhouette of someone dear,
Shares many a moments,
Happy, memorable, worthy
Straight and simply unbent...

Silhouette of someone dear,
Always at hands reach,
Uncreditedly supportive,
Many a lessons to teach...

Silhouette of someone dear,
Changed the way i saw,
It seems more beautiful - Life
And the silhouette of which i am in awe...

Silhouette of someone dear,
Hidden in blinding light,
Lively as I am today,
All thanks to it might...

Silhouette of someone dear,
Could make such a big change,
This really is someone known,
A feeling weird and strange...

Silhouette of someone dear,
Can make me feel like this,
Wonder, question, ask,
Who this really is...

Silhouette of someone dear,
Very nearly unveiled...
Silhouette of someone dear,
Friendly but unhailed...
Silhouette of someone dear,
Lovable as it were...
Silhouette of someone dear,
The person to be still dearer...

The Perilous Climb

The tunnel was dark and long,
As it turned and twined and coiled.
The walls were spiked
And the floor all sticky.
The stench of dampness
Made me frail and dizzy.

In spells, strong gusts of wind
Billowed from the inside,
As if a Beast is snoring
At the tunnels far-side.
The climb was treacherous
And all the slime
Made it even more perilous.

At long last we conquered it,
It's peak, the ultimate goal;
Came through the tunnel
The tunnel that humans call -
The Nostrils!
