Tentativeness
Times get spent in eternal search,
Betwixt life and death life perch;
Holding here; holding there,
Hanging like monkey; not fully aware;
Temptations of growing higher creep in,
Like other unfulfilled desires within;
Illusions-filled dreams; nasty nightmares,
Midst these, sleep stands and stares;
Kith and kin assure: we're here,
Who truly cares? - is to none clearly sure;
Having peripherally pleased and within cursed,
Friends and relatives go around as nothing happened;
Momentary joys, like, butter over toasts, glitter,
Only to melt and make their presence blur;
Butterflies and dragonflies; moths and beetles,
Get pecked by instantly appearing eagles;
Confusions and chaos in annuls of graves end,
Eagerness of living, like untimely moon, seems crescent;
Quest, in forms of queries, persist,
At one stage, as act of death, everything does exit...
