Until I Live Again

By Praneet Sarkar

Amidst lies behind treacherous eyes,

Tend to yours, that have trapped the souls

Of the brilliant stars that adorned the night so proudly,

Until I live again.

Amidst whispers behind deceitful lips,

Tend to yours, that have tasted the fruit

Of the towering trees that sprouted from the seeds of genuinity,

Until I live again

Amidst brutality behind hefty hands,

Tend to yours, that have favoured the lane

Of the slender roads that paved the way for care and love,

Until I live again.

Amidst life behind my breathing corpse,

Drag me through the realm of the real,

To the country of heaven,

Until I live again.
