The snakes of yesteryears’ memories crawling
around,
winding me, cheating me, of my happiness
today.
My heart torn apart, bleeding,
arrows of second thoughts piercing deep,
every action amounting to riots,
no I am not a rebel,
just, that my heart is passionate,
in every deed I perform,
my heart was hurt,
when you criticized.
But this evening,
with beautiful verses in hand,
I realize,
if passion meets wisdom,
action meets maturity,
its paradise.
My pride is in my humility, now I know.
