Bitterness

Life walks with us,
Silent creeping in all felinity,
Leaving no space for nay wish
Pouncing on every moment as the master and supreme,
Willing everything at its own will.
Stalking us on unforeseen roads,
Alive, breathing in the terror of it's terror,
It startles and strangles by suprise,
Finding us at unexpected corners.

Astonished by its speed,
Choked by its slowness,
We form it's unwilling companion,
Our lives wrecked in its wake,
Our smiles and tears left behind on the long journey.

Climbing upon deep wounds,
Riding on the high -rise elatedness,
Across sauntering days
And oppressive nights,
It forces us to hold its bare, cold hands
And walk without a cry.

Whirling to the winds of void,
It abruptly leaves us
Alone stranded on the banks of a strange sorrow
With no point of escape
