*** Destiny's Child Poem by ANJALI SINHA
*** Destiny's Child
In the balustrades of fading love,
alone i stand.
The hollowness beguiles me,
the North Star I see
beseeches me,
calls me
to see,
behind that veil
of aggression.
Stood at the window
of googles destiny,
for hours and hours,
just for a glimpse of my fading
Star.
In hushes and whispers
I muttered,
could not but reach you,
but that dart
did reach you
to tell you
of a never so called goodbye
Shall not give up these
pathways,
where the dust of your footprints
will tell,
will remind me
of my fallen days,
shall anoint my forehead,
with the musk
of the earth's footprints you tread,
as a mark
on the slate of my destiny
(This is a story of two lovers who constantly argued and hence their love failed. One of them was endlessly waiting at googles window for some hope --but it never came
A good reminder for all----never take love for granted ---always work on it)

In hushes and whispers I muttered, could not but reach you, but that dart did reach you to tell you of a never so called goodbye............the ceteris paribus (central idea-latin) of the poem's argument can well be illustrated through one of life's indomitable philosophy.It says that 'Some people's burgars turn into some other's cigarettes'. It could be very tangential ironically or uncanny in the sense where burgars represent ' time-pass' and cigarettes reprresent as we all know 'addiction'.This addiction is depicted through phrases and metaphors like 'balustrades' and beguile'.How can balustrades be beguiling? Human mind here is the victim of time lag.But it is based on some evidences and probabilities and posiibilities pertinent with persoanl sorrow, loss or gain as the writer reveals here.Human mind has to question in persecution which the writer does in meaningful portrayings like diction used as 'anoint' long waited 'goodbye' which draws in the attention of the avid reader.Every other possibilities precised over here is just the resultant non-sequitur(that which does not or require prove based on evidences or probabilities) .They oscillate on the positive as well as the negative phases undergone in a relationship.A 10 from me.
