What if it doesn't work

poem by: Ankit Upadhyay
Written on Jan 27, 2018

Analysing, believing and corroborating,
pessimistic approach with valant touch,
Nauseating scene and reverberating haunts,
Casting the narcissistic shadow!

It was not the pit in which we all fell,
It was the desire which trapped us all,
Multiple thoughts without scanning,
turned crookedly into vicious love!

It was the sea whose waves fastened our beats,
It was the coo of the cuckoo, holding us to ground,
It was the vial of ether turning us into immortal,
Not until we realized, the eclipse was precarious!

Unwanted , barren soul got a residence,
within the broken chamber of tumultuous heart,
Promises for mending each other within 'n without,
upheld beautifully with the deepest scout!

Years went by, promises loathed the tongue,
Love was the core and the couplets the mantle,
Into the gust of tsunami, the crust crumbled,
What if it doesn't work- You and I?

Denial persisting, ether vaporising,
Cells breathing, fears uprooting,
Into this dual of togetherness and solitude,
Lips ran, the saliva intermixing, solitude burning,
The flames of togetherness burned azure golden!

At the back of my mind, still it exists-
What if it doesn't work? 
Devoted, respected, committed,
On an undiscovered journey- it will work!
