Design Of Life

broken heart

Did you hear that silent flutter, louder than thunder?
Breaking heart?
Or is it a cupid’s arrow?
Tears would fall?
Or is laughter the call?
Know not till the eyes, tells it all.


Did you feel that flowing river, faster than time?
Torturing thoughts?
Or is it blissful love?
Gnawing the soul?
Or is it a happy wedlock?
Know not till the laughter, tells it all.


Did you see that lazy mountain, slower than slumber?
A sorrowful life?
Or is it content times?
A forgotten story?
Or is it a well-mourned one?
Know not till ultimate death, tells it all.
