Misnomer
By satya pattnaik
I am following the shadow
From my childhood days
It is sometime behind with knife
And Sometime with smiles in front
It is sometime with wild mirth
Some time with innocent look
To understand this mystery
I walked on to tyrant sun
Desired to be on moon to burn
Stepped on to thorns and bled up
Responded to Rosés' red lipsto kiss
Brought my comfort to the dance floor
However, to my surprise I found
Million dead shadows
My molten body mass
A black door with dark corridor
Only a candle light flickered
To guide me
For a hopeless destination
I thought falling in love
With my shadow and trust it
Even after being adult
Was a cursed and relation
Thy name was a misnomer
