I close my eyes tight shut
To block the thoughts away-
They close in around me insidiously;
The future lies before me
Heaped with happiness and love and gifts,
He stretches his arms,
Welcomes,lures, flatters,pulls;
(But) Beneath his decorative veil
Are drops of silent mockery
And maps of calculated deceit
And a hideous game of hide and seek.
Life gets baffling, choking me
Emotions and passions ooze out unhindered.
The sun rises-
And still the future plays tricks on me.
