Cul-De-Sac Poem by Saroj Padhi

You promised me a skyful of dreams at dawn,
offered me two new wings heavenward to turn!

How enticing really it was to get into the fold
of lush green vales of sweet bends and curvatures,
push way thro' sanctuaries of the thorny bushes
and enter the honey sieves of flowers in raptures!

The wild trek into the pinnacle of magical feelings
how thrillsome, the swim in the vortex of emotions,
juicy ruminations about each happy moment spent
and about the proposedunion, fondspeculations!

Ultimately you‘re left in lurch like an ensnared bird
in delusion about freedom, without a foreseeable vent,
and crushed by dark in cul-de-sac of a lonesome life,
to ponder over fake tears and smiles so evanescent!

Let me burn here in the heat of your passions ill-spent
setting the soul adrift like boat in river without current!
